DELTA only flights, any number stops

I need to set up class code B or M for longhaul one only first leg between TYO and first connecting city (i suppose it will be MSP, SEA, LAX, ATL, DTW).

but the thing is if i set F bc=b|bc=m - the rest leg/legs till Florida also shows only as B/M. is there any possibility to generate M and for examble T etc in one farebasis for TYO-Florida interval?

BTW way back is desired to be any cheap domestic class + K only for any Hub-TYO leg.
Try this:-

HND, NRT::f /f bc=b
MSP, SEA, LAX, ATL, DTW

MSP, SEA, LAX, ATL, DTW::f /bc=m
MIA, FLL, PBI, EYW, MLB, SRQ, MCO

MIA, FLL, PBI, EYW, MLB, SRQ, MCO::f
MSP, SEA, LAX, ATL, DTW

MSP, SEA, LAX, ATL, DTW::f /bc=k
HND, NRT

Then uncheck the box for "Allow airport changes" before searching.

However, you need to be aware that this will restrict you to flying sector 3 from the same airport as that at which you arrived at the end of sector 2 - in other words, if you arrive at FLL on the outbound, then using this method ITA will only return inbound trips starting at FLL. So you may need to play a bit with combinations before narrowing down your search a bit more, if that is important to you.

In addition, you need to be aware that (on a quick play) it looks like this will price using four different fare components, for example BLZ0ZKMD for TYO-ATL, MA0NA0MA for ATL-FLL, UD7NA0MB for FLL-ATL and KKY02KMD for ATL-TYO. But if I have read the fare construction correctly, this example does correctly register that ATL is a connecting point in both directions.

But at least it might be a start for your research, if this is beginning to show the sort of thing you are looking for.
