SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Travelers booking award flights often miss free stopover opportunities because each loyalty program has different, hard-to-find rules about how many stopovers are allowed, how long they can last, and whether they cost extra points.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-Program Rule Lookup: Query structured JSON data covering which programs allow stopovers (Aeroplan, Alaska Atmos, Flying Blue, Icelandair, Singapore KrisFlyer, and more) and which do not (BA Avios, AA AAdvantage, Delta SkyMiles).
  • Confidence-Flagged Data: Each rule carries a VERIFIED, LIKELY, or UNVERIFIED confidence marker plus a last_verified date so stale rules are flagged before booking.
  • Use Case: A user planning a US-to-Europe trip asks which program allows a free stopover; the Skill identifies Icelandair's free 7-day Reykjavik stopover and Aeroplan's 5,000-point stopover option, with booking method and restrictions.

Quick Start

Ask which airline loyalty programs allow a free stopover on an award ticket from the US to Europe.

Frequently Asked Questions about stopovers

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Which airline loyalty programs allow free stopovers on award tickets?▼

Programs allowing free stopovers include Icelandair Saga Club, Alaska Atmos Rewards, Flying Blue, Cathay Asia Miles, JAL Mileage Bank, and Singapore KrisFlyer. Aeroplan allows stopovers for a 5,000-point surcharge. Full details are in the stopovers.json data file.

How do I check a specific program's stopover rules?▼

Query the data/stopovers.json file with jq, filtering by program id or category. Each entry includes max stopovers, maximum days, surcharge, booking method, restrictions, confidence level, and source citations.

Does British Airways Avios or Delta SkyMiles allow stopovers?▼

No. British Airways Avios, Iberia Plus, American AAdvantage, Delta SkyMiles, Virgin Atlantic, and JetBlue TrueBlue do not offer stopover programs. They price each segment separately, though layovers up to about 24 hours are typically permitted.

Can I book an Icelandair stopover with points?▼

Yes. Icelandair's free stopover of up to 7 nights in Reykjavik applies to both cash fares and Saga Club award redemptions on transatlantic itineraries. It is also bookable via JetBlue TrueBlue partner awards, reachable from transferable points programs.

When should I not rely on this stopover data?▼

Do not rely on rules whose last_verified date is older than 90 days without re-checking the airline's own award rules page. Rules marked LIKELY or UNVERIFIED should be communicated with uncertainty, and discontinued perks like United's Excursionist Perk no longer apply.
