DEFINITION

A connection is considered a stopover when it exceeds 4 hours if "domestic" (50 United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, St. Croix or St. Thomas), 24 hours elsewhere. Last scheduled flight in/first scheduled flight out does not count as a stopover even if the duration is more than four hours.

For international stopovers, if the time exceeds 24 hours and you still take the next scheduled flight (non-daily departures), is it still not a stopover?
