Can anyone clarify for me if one or two or none stopovers are OK on round trip awards, and whether the 'no stopover' rule DEFINITELY applies on 'one-way' awards that cover multi-continents?
I was looking at Sydney - Cape Town award for 180,000 in Biz. That routing would be shortest way -
SYD-KUL-AMS-JNB-CPT and v.v.
EACH way involves about 35-40 hours on planes and airports, so if only '1 stopover' on round trip allowed we will be DARN tired on one of the legs.
United regards a legal "stopover" on It'l flights - paid or award - as a break that exceeds 24 hours. Does KLM?
i.e. if we arrive into AMS from KUL at 7am as now occurs, and the daily flight to CPT is 9pm, UA does not regard that as a stop and allows us to hit an airport Hotel for some sleep. Does KL?
