I know if you buy a ticket from A to C and if it needs to stopover in B, and if there is a delay in the leg A->B, the airline will get you to C eventually.
However, what happen if I deliberately break it up. Like, I buy (in one ticket) A to B, self-made a stopover of 10-14 hours, then B to C. What happen if there is a delay on the leg of A to B beyond 10-14 hours, would the airline still get me to C free of charge? Here is a solid example: Normally a flight from LHR to ICN would stopover HKG for a few hours but I want to break it up so that it is LHR->HKG, 10-14 hours later HKG->ICN. What if there is a delay on the first leg beyond 10-14 hours, would the airline still ship me to ICN on the next available flight?
Grateful for some clarification here please.
Buy it as one ticket. If you scroll down when selecting flights, you usually get options with long stopovers. I do this all the time as I live in HK and often chose the ones with an overnight stop so I can go home for a sleep inbetween flights.
