I'll also comb the fine-print rules on stopovers and open jaws, research the routings on the Net and milk that for the most destinations possible (within a tight budget).

For example, I took AMS as a 5-day stopover on an ATL-BKK routing via the Atlantic, and also got a non-stopover stopover (i.e. less than 24 hours) in Singapore..

Rusty, I think your strategy is the best value for money! I spend mostly on international coach trips with Mrs. South to Europe and South America. We did an open jaw into LIS and out of LHR, and another into GIG and out of SCL. Next time, I want to try a LanChile ticket with a stopover in SCL.
