Can anyone clarify this?If my TA is indeed correct, does making a stopover at a destination that is currently only transited class as a routing change? I am flying MEL-xLHR-TXL but it may be convenient to make a 'stopover' at LHR in order to connect to a separately-booked flight.
Thanks in advance!
