If one of the intermediate flights have a schedule change some time before May which extends a layover to 24 hours or more, would there be any problem? It is a one-way ticket which doesn't allow stopovers.
I had a trip / ticket with stopovers costing $100 each. My original itineary did not have any stopovers (24+ hours). After a pre-departure schedule change, the intineary ended up with a 24+ hour 'connection' - as in I was not charged for the new 24+ hours connection/stopover.
