RTW: Would this be a stopover or connection...
I need to fly HNL-LAX-SAN. My flight gets in to LAX at around 9pm. I already have a stopover at LAX, so I can't have a second one.
There is a legal connection to SAN the same night. Must I take that one, or can I take an early morning flight the next day? IF so, does it have to be the first flight in the am?
Thanks in advance.
Zach

AFAIK, any stop < 24 hours does not count as a stopover.

rtw-tickets are international, and for any stopover only the < 24 hours rule applies.
also, with a Star-rtw-ticket, the 2 piece luggage rule (with StarGold status: 3 pieces) applies and not the weight concept - all the way.

A stopover is 24h max travelling with an int'l ticket - no matter what country you might have domestic routes in. This goes for rtw's as well as for any int'l ticket.</font>

I didn't realize that domestic to domestic connections (without any international segments at all) were eligible!
