Do you have to call them to get the price at $900? Or do they not allow stopovers greater than 24 hours?


Thanks in advance!
Anything less than 24 hours is not considered a stopover, just transit. Thus booking that option the 1st sector and the 2nd sector comes under the same fare bucket.

If the difference in duration between the 1st sector and the 2nd sector is greater than 24 hours, then it will be considered a stopover. Given that it is not a transit anymore, and depending on loading for that particular day (either for the 1st sector or the 2nd sector) price may fluctuate that has resulted in the disparity you see there.
