I know the individual flights have availability, but because it is a 23 hour layover, they won't suggest the connection when booking one way; booking separately means I have to pay a pretty penny in APD. Is there any way to manually pull up the stopover option online? I don't want to give the call centre a ring to book this and plead a phone fee waiver if possible.
Do you want a stopver or up to a 23:59 transit(layover)?
