Hi, I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything when I seached
Basically, what I want to know is how long do you have to be on the ground before your break is considered a stopover, and not waiting for onward travel?
For instance, if I am travelling to LAX from SYD via AKL, and I want to see friends in AKL, how long can I break my journey (assuming I arrive and leave on the same airline, but different flight numbers) before my 'break' becomes a 'stopover', and is this the same for all airlines? and payment methods (cash, frequent flyer points, etc)
Sometimes the fare through has an overnight stop, with the same fare, or cheaper than one that goes through on the same day, and I have seen the same thing sometimes when searching to pay with points
Thanks for your help
