Kiwi Flyer - is that in the *file somewhere (or written somewhere else) do you know? It's normally a moot point for a xONEx as - other than the continent of origin - you can have as many stopovers as you like, so doesn't come into play very often. As mentioned earlier, we had the stopover problem on a DAS17 (Circle Asia SWP) where the number of stopovers is limited. We couldn't get the direct MEL-NRT flight so had to go MEL-SYD-NRT ... and couldn't get to SYD same day in time, so had to go the day before ... and AA enforced the last flight in/first flight out rule. Obviously, the xASx rules on stopovers may be different from the xONEX rules, though I don't know why they would be.
