Look up award-ticket stopover rules by airline program

This skill gives an agent reference data on which airline loyalty programs allow stopovers on award tickets, how many, for how long and at what cost. It covers programs such as Icelandair, Aeroplan, Alaska, Flying Blue, Singapore, Cathay Pacific and JAL, and lists programs that don't offer stopovers, including British Airways, American and Delta. The rules sit in a bundled data file the agent queries, drawn from airline award pages and cross-checked against travel sites, with a planned refresh every 90 days. Use it when planning a multi-city award trip or comparing programs, and confirm current rules with the airline before you book.
