Hi all

Has anyone managed to nab a fare that allows more than a few hours at the destination?!

Fare rules say no stopovers in ITA.

Wanted to say huge thanks to OP ^ Just booked 2 weekend Avios/TP runs, only need a single day off work in London too! Outbound Friday 7.40pm-Sunday 9:40am, inbound two weeks later, Saturday 4:35pm-Monday 6:55pm. £329 + two Eurostar tickets and a nested MAD-LHR-MAD return.

Slightly different question - has anyone figured out what qualifies certain destinations under the routing constraints specified?

- Presumably IB codeshares
- Plus availability in the relevant fare classs (e.g. Q for the ORY-BCN fare)
- Long enough turnaround to meet MCT or multiple frequencies
- Anything else?

Theoretically Singapore also meets the above criteria?

Sorry for being dim here but how do I book this on iberia, do I plug in all the flights or just put paris-madrid? Not having much luck with this and I have been trying for ages.
