Lol... I know Dave.
In fact, right at this very moment I'm in Paris on a 23:55 minute layover from a flight that "arrived" at 7am today and I have to head to the airport at 5 for a 6:55 CDG-BUD.
(Lunch was delicious, thank you.
)
I use them all the time too.
What I was talking about was specific to award tix and DL, but I can't find anything about it after having searched for a good solid 60 seconds.
Maybe I was just thinking of the elimination of Stopovers.

True, that, DL does it segment by segment now, but, if you do, for example - -
JFK/AMS - 23 hours in AMS
AMS/PRG
It should price as one continuous fare from JFK to PRG, assuming that the same level of miles is available on both legs.
If you stay in AMS 25 hours, it'll price each leg individually and add up the cost in miles of both legs together.
Like I said upthread . . . . I do "less than 24 hour stopovers" all the time, and if I call, and the agent gives me additive pricing, as opposed to through pricing, I explain it to them, and they usually can figure out how to reprice it, somehow.
