Modifying online flights to include stopovers

Try harveyworld.co.nz Not bought from them, but looks like you can specify the length of a stopover.

You can specify multi-city routes on booking sites such as Kayak and then those typically get booked as one-way legs (and thus presumably costlier) rather than an extended stopover.

What I would suggest is to using Kayak (or your favourite flight search engine), look up the airlines that have a stopover. Then go over directly to the airline’s website and go through the booking process until it shows you the fare rules. Read the fare rules for a section on stopovers: I’ve done this previously and found that on certain routes airlines offer free or at-additional-cost stopovers, only at specific airports though. I haven’t excercised this option but presumably you’ll need to call up the airline to do so because I haven’t seen airline booking systems being able to accommodate this in their online booking process.

If that doesn’t work, look at whether RTW tickets will be cost-effective for you.

ITA’s Matrix can do this, and pretty much anything else you can imagine:

Especially when you find out about all the undocumented options:

Two major caveats:

  1. You can’t actually book tickets with Matrix, but it can give you an exact description of the fare rules used for the construction that you can bring to a travel agent.

  2. Many cheap fares explicitly exclude stopovers, so your itinerary may cost a lot more if you add some. So start with finding the stopover-less fare in Round-trip/One-way and read the small print of the fare conditions. If stopovers are allowed, then try to reconstruct the itinerary with stopovers added in using the Multi-city search.
