Do have a general question; if I'm trying to price out a fare, what dates should I be looking at?
Lets say you want A-B-C. Should I just get the price for A-C on the date of departing from A?

Have been trying to book stopover for weeks now.
Seems like I am misunderstanding something fully or at least am starting to feel bad for bothering/occupying PSL.
Long story short, all of them gave me completely different answers, all of which quoted prices way above what I could see (and different from each other).
One thing I did learn is that if you book a stop over, you can integrate a single ticket.
Example; day 1 PRG-AMS, day 2 MAD-AMS(seperate ticket) AMS-PEK (2nd leg of stopover ticket). Luggage should be booked through etc.

At first I tried to book MAD-PEK with a stopover in Ams.
Called a few times, different operators but no succes.
Had a guy who sounded quite confident insist that stopovers are only possible on return tickets? Because on a one-way ticket it was just the price of 2 single tickets?
I told him that that's not what the FB page said but he got a bit grumpy and told me no, it's like he said it was.
Luckily, this specific fare showed up a few weeks later as a layover for a very good price so all was resolved.

Now looking at how to get back from SIN, and saw that basically any other destination than ams/cdg would be muuuuch cheaper.
Very happy to go away for a weekend a few days later or accidentally forget the trip, but hesitant to try and call again.
Really not interesting if they do A-B + B-C pricing instead of A-C pricing.

Also maybe a stupid question but if I feel the agent at PSL doesn't seem to understand, should I just be a karen and ask for a supervisor or Huca?
Bit awkward if would have the same though.

In general; just super annoying you can't just do this yourself or at least have a consistent way predict a price.
Also; Are the experiences with travel assistent better? Do have +400 uxp but not sure if this feature is now Ultimate only (saw it a few posts back)
