Gah. I'd stupidly been operating on the assumption that anywhere that there was a scheduled stop was fair game for a stopover. Is there a guide somewhere to which routes have this problem, or is it a matter of just checking each in turn?

Any suggestions?

Oooh. Hadn't thought of that. I'd also been looking at RIX-DKR via LIS, as there's a conference in Lisbon I'd quite like to go to, and 30k base miles Z2-Z5 with a stopover in Lisbon is *much* more attractive than a simple 20k base miles to Lisbon and back.
But I hadn't considered the extra fun of then going, say, DKR-DAR, which is given as a route of DKR-ABJ-LBV-JNB-DAR, any one of which could make a nice stopover.
I can't get the standard flight tool or the RTW calculator to give me any routes DKR-NBO. How do I work out what an acceptable route would be?
Thanks.
