You can have the stopover in SEA provided you then fly into and out of JFK to DUB. So the problem isn’t where the stopover is but the fact that you are trying to have two of them on a one way ticket.
And anything EWR-DUB goes via SEA or SFO so you are backtracking big time. Where did you see SEA-EWR-DUB?
Thank you for your response. I misspoke. I was trying to get the 35K miles and $19 LIH-SEA-JFK-DUB with a stop in SEA. That was the itinerary that the agent kept going back and forth with her superior and the Aer Lingus desk as to why it could not be done. Looking at that flight alone on say June 4th, do you think there is a way to do a stop over in SEA then fly on the scheduled flight SEA-JFK-DUB? THX
