Question about Y class ticket
I have an airline ticket, alerady purchased, from city A to city C
with a stopover in city B. The ticket consists of two flights, one from A to B and the second from B to C. Both flights are "Y" class. My stopover in city B while I wait for the second flight is currently about 20 hours (ie: an overnight stopover). I would like to delay the second flight for three weeks so I can spend some time in city B. My question is, with a Y class ticket can I request this delay when I get to city B or do I need to request this prior to leaving city A. Can anyone in the group answer this? -Jonathan Klein |

Question about Y class ticket
I would like to delay the second flight for three weeks so I can
spend some time in city B. You need to check the rules for the fare, to see if it allows a stopover in city B. An overnight in an international city is technically not a stopover (in the U.S., you have 4 hours in which to connect; internationally you usually have 24 hours in which to connect). Some fares do allow actual "stopovers" as opposed to long connections, and others don't. If the fare rules do not allow a stopover, then you will need two separate tickets: from A to B, and from B to C. |

If the fare rules do not allow a stopover, then you will need two separate tickets: from A to B, and from B to C. Not really two separate tickets, can be on the same one. But with the two legs priced separately, no longer a throughfare. This sounds like it's a flight overseas to/from Canada. In which case, just like you said, 24 hours is the max connection. In theory, when it's a connection it's marked on the ticket, at least on paper tickets. This said, many international fares do allow connections, especially full Y. The OP should clarify what he means by "Y class." Just that it's an economy ticket, or is it really booked in "Y booking class," as compared to M, B, L, V etc. |

Is it a full "Y" fare, or are you just indicating that you are sitting in the Y cabin? Many economy fares permit the stopover, but you already have the ticket, so there might be a change fee. One quick call to the airline or TA should get you a quick and accurate answer. |
