Can you book a stopover on a regular/nonaward ticket?
I'm trying to book a flight ATL-LED, and all of the options on the way back include an overnight layover in either AMS or CDG. The LED-AMS leg arrives at 7:35 pm, then AMS-ATL leaves the next morning, and this seems like a big waste of time. If I have to stay overnight and pay for a hotel, I'd rather book the AMS-ATL leg for the morning after that so I can spend the day in Amsterdam, but is this possible?
Apologies if this question has been addressed before - I did a search but only found threads about booking award travel.
