How is Stopover not penalized and considered part of the fare?
Before Portugal Stopover, upon voluntarily adding a stopover with a duration of over 24 hours, either in Lisbon or Porto, a fee would be added to the ticket. With Portugal Stopover, this fee is no longer applicable in these cases and no extra cost is added to the trip.
I checked the cost of the trip with and without Stopover and the prices are different. Why is this?
When simulating a trip without Stopover and another with Stopover, the flights of the two simulations are never the same. As a result, the available price classes and sub-classes may also be different, meaning that the respective prices could be different.
