It seems to jump the price by £500 when I build in a stopover (and ends up much cheaper to just do an ex-EU to SFO), but if anyone knows a way this can be done would appreciate the help! Targeting anything under £1500.
I believe the issue you have is that the fare is only permitted for travel at certain points in the year. See this post for more details
