I just tried it again and it's working fine. Enter this into multi-city:
IAD-RIC 12PM
RIC-SFO 2PM
SFO-JFK 10PM
JFK-IAD 9AM (next day)
That should give you all the connections and allow you to book it online. Let me know if you're still having problems.

Can I just point out for the record how jacked up it is that one has to jump through all these ridiculous hoops to book what you want?

I agree with you, though.

Hmmmm..... I can't imagine six people booked since last night. Is someone holding more than one itin involving this flight? I wouldn't be surprised to see more L at midnight tomorrow when holds expire, or otherwise I'm sure IM will eventually release some more L.

Just wanted to give you another shout-out for putting this together this mass MR/DO. ^ If the weather and UA cooperate, this will be a bunch of good rides!

I'm in BAYBEEEEE!!
Yeah! I got it... since I already have a rental car out from IAD and I needed to visit my Grandmom in NJ that weekend, I wanted to avoid getting a one way rental. So, I booked JFK-IAD-RIC-ORD-SFO-JFK for $250! I made sure I left about 1.5 hrs in IAD to make the RIC flight as we know how JFK-IAD can be! :S The only killer is I have to drive from Baltimore up to JFK for a 9:30a flight there!
Once I get back to JFK the next AM, go see my grandmother and head back to Baltimore Sun night to start the next week. Should be a killer weekend!
This is my first Mileage Run too!! I get to lose my virginity!! haha...
So put me down Lucky for the full party route! I upgraded everything with ORD-SFO clearing. Im in 2J.
Edit>> oops... I see no Explus so I see why CR-1 is a waste... well, vs. 4 e500s... should I switch it? Looks like plenty of space to clear...
I used e500s for the P.S. flight... is that a bad idea to clear (and 6 of em to boot)? Im not even really keen on upgrading redeyes since I just sleep but the only window is in the last row!! eek. I could wait until some of you upgraders clear out and then maybe move in to your E+ seat? Its not like I am going to be awake to party during the flight anyway...

Awesome Lee, I'm happy you'll be joining us!^ I'll update your status on the list.
Just a reminder that we're seated in rows 11-15ish on the IAD-RIC-ORD flights, so I would suggest selecting seats around there. Also, for ORD-SFO we're seated towards the rear of the cabin, so if you can (or want to, in this case) select a seat in rows 4-6.
You should be good with 500'ers on SFO-JFK, IMO. I'm sure plenty of seats will clear up in coach as upgrades clear as well.
Update: Based on your update, I would suggest using 500'ers for ORD-SFO and instead applying the CR1 to SFO-JFK, which would cost six 500'ers (vs. four).
