QFF Booking, next day connection <24hrs
Every flight I've ever booked with connections that are overnight, but within 24 hrs, where of 1 ticket.
So why does QFF consider overnight connections within 24hrs as 2 separate tickets?

Domestically, it is "same day" only for a connection to be considered a transit.

The usual understanding of a "connection" is between 2 flights of 1 ticket.
If 2 separate tickets there is no "connection". Just a transfer from 1 flight to another.
What is the effect of an over night transfer between 2 flights on separate days?
What airports?

I'm all in favor of establishing a nomenclature in this regard, but if you want to do so, start with the airlines themselves, not with posters on forums.

In any event, I don't understand the premise of your original question. In what way does QF consider your itinerary to be two separate tickets? Have you been issued with two separate tickets? Or is there something that you want QF to do that QF is refusing to do, even though you only have one ticket covering both halves of your connection?

If so, then where QF does allow connections, in many cases the routing rules require that onward flight be on same calendar day; otherwise it prices as a fare from A-B plus B-C

Do you want assistance with the original question - in which case providing details of the booking or bookings would be needed or to argue about terminology?
Where there are 2 unrelated bookings - it may appear like a connection to the person changing flights but is not a connection ( or transfer which is the same meaning ) but the end of 1 journey and the commencement of a new one

Resolving assistance was provided by serfty without additional information, whereupon the thread should have ceased.
