Can't remember if I've read this or not. I'm looking at flying cities A-B-C. One direct option A-B, then there is a direct flight B-C, but it isn't daily. There are daily options from B-D-C. I remember reading sometime in the past few years that you can exceed 24 hours in a city without it counting as one of the 3 stops if there are no flights within that 24 hour period of time. Would that count in this case when there are options of connector flights? I can't remember if this was only if there was one option into that city (like flying Warsaw - Kaliningrad on LOT) though...
