1. The layover between flights is less than 12 hours.
2. There is no return to the starting airport or to any previously passed transit airport.

Specifically, I would like to see if the following itin would qualify for use of a single GPU:

EWR-HNL-ORD-MUC

No layovers greater than 9 hours for this reservation. Any hope?

I d

n't see why that itinerary wouldn't qualify. I've used a single instrument LHR-SFO-SYD.
