Actually booking so many stops is proving difficult
Matrix shows fares with 2 stops, even 3 stops; however, booking engines only let you book 1 stop each way. I tried doing it using the one way function, round trip function, and the multiple destination function... No luck.
If only 1 stop is possible each way, then this is at best a 3.8 cpm which is still not bad.
But has anyone had luck actually booking the multiple stop itineraries that matrix is finding? Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks OP. I'm using the train from YVR to take this flight home from the RGN deal. It's econo which will be a let down, but a wonderfully cheap way to get home in Feb, 2013.
For those searching for the three stops, I did see them just by searching DTW-SEA earlier. They would show up about the third entry down at $114 rather than the $109. However, the weekends in October were filling fast. Try later dates. I can force multiple destinations DTW-EWR-SFO-SEA on 12/13/2012.

Booking these 6 segment trips on UA can sometimes be challenging. The sample date/routing I provided (after I searched for the itinerary with ITA) is indeed bookable on UA.com (aka .bomb) using a "multiple destinations" search like this:
Nov 30 SEA-SFO
Nov 30 SFO-EWR
Dec 1 EWR-DTW
Dec 1 DTW-EWR
Dec 1 EWR-SFO
Dec 1 SFO-SEA
Nov 30 SEA-SFO
Nov 30 SFO-EWR
Dec 1 EWR-DTW
Dec 1 DTW-EWR
Dec 1 EWR-SFO
Dec 1 SFO-SEA

Combine this with the UA: DTW-PHX for $158ai that just came out and you have yourself a fun two days of flying for lots of cheap EQM (excuse me, PQM).
That DTW-PHX fare is only valid Tues/Weds apparently.

I booked these same dates too; there were only two options on this date, and the only difference was which SFO-EWR redeye you preferred. If you'd like to meet up, PM me!
CokeAndTaco, thanks for the great find! Did you book this too?
