I called them and they said no, but it wasn't clear that the fare rules prohibit it - could just be an unusual request that their UI doesn't support.
Can't seen to find the fare rules, neither delta or expedia has been able to send them to me.
I did get a fare rule code from Delta: ZH1B08D1/LN1U. Anyone know how to get the actual full text rules from that? (I tried expertflyer premium, but didn't get anywhere)

I got expedia agent to email me some of the fare rules. Bingo - but I still have no idea how to get this ticketed to use a stopover(s) - the agents just try to do it via multi-city trip with a separate hotel and that loses the good fare. (I'll note that my desired stopover point(s) are the international gateway cities that I'd connect thru anyhow, so it seems like this could work somehow... )

For the last two posters, this is what I learned from the fare rules (note this seems to contradict the Expedia 30-day stay max that sam mentions above - not sure how to explain that)
03.SEASONALITY
PERMITTED 15MAY THROUGH 22AUG OR 04DEC THROUGH 23DEC ON THE OUTBOUND TRANSATLANTIC SECTOR. SEASON IS BASED ON DATE OF ORIGIN.
06.MINIMUM STAY
TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN 3 DAYS AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN. OR - TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO EARLIER THAN THE FIRST SUN AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN.
07.MAXIMUM STAY
TRAVEL FROM LAST STOPOVER MUST COMMENCE NO LATER THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER DEPARTURE FROM FARE ORIGIN.

The 30 day limit and lack of ability to book stopovers are an Expedia restriction which has nothing to do with the fare rules. An independent travel agent (like liberty travel) should be able to book what you want. It may take a few calls to a few different agencies to find a competent agent so the more info you provide the better, like fare basis, flight numbers etc. Expedia agents are no help - they just go through the same front end you do

Any luck for a IAD as of yet?
Hi guys...wondering if anyone had any luck out of iad? If so which dates....or I guess I can try to reposition if needed...to New York or Miami etc.
I know I posted weeks ago...but didn’t get a response. So just wanted to see if anyone had any luck yet....and what dates on either of them. Thank you very much for your time.

Hi everyone, I'm also checking on whether this bundled fare is still available. I've checked several bookings mentioned on the thread but none of them are pricing out currently (all around $3k each). Has anyone been able to price this out recently? Thanks!
