But on a xONEx, that rule doesn't really matter, as the routing with the longer time will still be perfectly within the fare rules.
Because of that is an AA's
special ticket.
In terms of IATA's
normal ticket rule,
24 hour stopover rule is applied.
Of course, xONEx is a special ticket, but it applies 'normal' stopover rule.
So, term 'standard' and 'normal' you use is a special view from AA's ticketing view.
That is a reason some posters (including me) could not understand your posting clearly.
