How would one go about booking a stopover for this trip?
I have attempted to price some out via ITA on both the outbound/return flights to a number of destinations including BKK, PVG, ICN but to no avail.
Any advice?
@Bill – just looked at the allowed routing for this fare, the stopover will be cities in Japan (like Osaka). We don’t see any permitted routes to other parts of Asia.
Is it likely that a deal like this will extend to late May?
@Eric – unlikely. most sales to Asia are Jan – early May // September – November. Outside of that gets pricey even with sales.
