Essentially, I have a return flight that goes from DEL-SVO-NRT-LAX with a couple hrs in each city for transfer. On NWA.com it is booked as a single return. I'm wondering if I can push the time in NRT to a day or two. I'm hoping booking it online then calling NWA.com reservation to make the change, or try my luck at the NWA counter in NRT... though it seems like a not so good option after travel has already commenced.
I'm surprised you could get DEL-SVO-NRT-LAX to book. I have never gotten India to route transpac.
As for the stopover enroute, as I say, once you check in you are not going to be able to do this. Something happens to the reservation in the NW system, I had a fully refundable J fare ticket and decided to do this and it took them about 6 hours to restore the final leg, again having to call the rate desk to check rules and make sure this was allowed. It was "allowed" although they told me to make my change next time before checking in, instead of just stepping off the plane. That said, normally you can get NRT as a stopover by calling. My concern would be you wont be able to get an agent to ticket DEL-SVO-NRT-LAX at all, stopover in NRT or no.
