if depart from ICN it is apparently difficult to build a stopover on the outbound no matter where, and if you want to visit IPC/PPT you have to leave from c6. you can return to KIX, OKA etc for a bit more. inbound can have multiple stopovers in c4,c2,c3,but anything complicated chokes google to produce a link to priceline, such as mixing in carriers like JL and sometimes EK. (the stopovers give FTers based in c2 a good chance to break up the legs, or just hop off at any gateway in c3 like PEK,ICN,TPE,HKG,SHA,BKK. fyi, PPT-IPC only runs on tuesdays)
wonder also why only ICN works for c3 (LA should publish fares to China and others right?), and c1/c2 seems impossible as an origin.
1) This isn't the Trick It, so no need for the Cx stuff.
2) Leaving from ICN I can price stopovers in Australia no problem, but it does drive the price up because the fare rules call for a surcharge for all stopovers. Unlike the exSCL which allows 1 for free
3) You can originate in many places besides ICN, to include China, but the price is more due to higher fares.
