I thought I'd save points by calling an agent and having this booked as a roundtrip with stopover in IST, but they are quoting 169,500. I thought that the first agent must be doing something wrong, so I called back and had another agent price it out. Same thing, and that was after him talking to a supervisor. Guess I'll book it as two separate itineraries.
I haven't checked distance flown against the award chart, but are you accounting for the 5,000-point cost for the stopover at IST? If you want that stop to be >24h, you'll encounter that cost whether you book one-way or return.
