Is there hope for an SMF-RNO one-way?
I tried to book SMF-RNO online, but "We are unable to complete your search request. The flights may be full, or there may not be flights available for the time or day of week requested.” Is there a trick to bring up say SEA as the transfer airport for a one-way, or must I resort to multi-city?

I seriously doubt that there's any sort of "hack" to get AS to show (or price) that route as anything but two point-to-point legs

Of course I could simply take a train for $47, but flying out and returning by train might come in handy for an enjoyable way to to make MVP at the end of the year. I might even use the companion ticket along with say BOS-SEA-SFO, if doable. |
It is almost a certainty that AS doesn't file a fare for SMOF-RNO, so you are simply purchasing the two separately-priced segments but have a protected connection. As you've found a good fare, the only real downside is the ridiculously long time-frame and the risk of going through all that to get stuck at BOI in IRROPS.

What does Southwest charge for their nonstops?

For the OP: Might be cheaper to call an Uber. |
AS flies SJC-RNO nonstop as well...

I commute OAK-RNO for about $60 each way. FWIW last time I flew WN SMF-RNO it was about the same price. (And back then was $29 OAK-RNO).

But then again, flying SMF-SEA-RNO doesn't make mush sense either (9x farther) ;) |

Driving time from Sacramento to San Jose is about the same as Reno (2.5 hr). It doesn't make much sense to drive 2.5 hrs the wrong direction to fly back to Reno. But then again, flying SMF-SEA-RNO doesn't make mush sense either (9x farther) ;) |
