You sound like you know what you're talking about, yet you're spouting nonsense… SYD-SIN-LHR is neither non-BA nor open jaw at point of origin. It's a oneway, and since the OP is attempting to use a GUF and 241, it's on BA flights. A stopover is anything more than 24hrs: IATA doesn't care if it's 25hrs, 73hrs, or 4321hrs. BA's flexible published fares SYD-LHR are silent on length of stopover, and Pegasus should dummy price the itinerary using the lowest fare for the cabin being booked.

That sounds like routing logic from pre-Avios BA miles BAEC. When reward pricing changed to per-sector, it didn't really matter how many segments were on the itinerary, as they were all calculated and charged for. Again, this SYD-SIN-LHR itin is a oneway. Stopovers are supposed to be permitted, of any length.

Where in the BAC T&Cs is this supposed 72hr stopover limit?
