Question about LONE4 24 hour transfer rule
I am currently planning a lone4 trip and i had a question about the 24 hour rule when you only do a transfer and not a stopover.For my last leg of my trip from LIM to AMS i am offered a option to go through MIA and LHR, since i would like to maximze my time in Miami i would like to take the night flight with LAN arriving in MIA at 07.50 am stay in Miami until 06.00 am the next day and then take a US flight to PHL and take the US flight to AMS at 06.40 pm or if that isnt allowed i could take the morning flight to LHR on US and do a overnight at LHR.Can anyone clarify if the option with the AMS flight would be oke?

There were some discussion about rule interpretation.
AMS-HKG-SFO-LAX-LIM-xMIA-LHR-AMS
is valid.
There was discussion about
AMS-HKG-SFO-LAX-LIM-xMIA-xPHL-LHR-AMS
(arrive at MIA from departure from PHL < 24 hours)
North American transit exception can be applied for combined two transit points ?
rule:
Then, how about:
LIM-xMIA-ORD-xPHL-LHR
Still, xMIA is 2nd intercontinental arrival without stopover, xPHL is 2nd intercontinental departure without stopover.
AMS-HKG-SFO-LAX-LIM-xMIA-LHR-AMS
is valid.

rule:
(e) Only one intercontinental departure and one intercontinental arrival permitted in each continent except as follows:
1. Two permitted in North America when one is a transfer without stopover.

From my own single experience with this issue on LONE4, arrived at LHR from ORD on a flight scheduled for 10am and departed the next day from LGW at 10am for continental Europe.
It was ticketed as a transit (AA).
