As a matter of interest, a stopover is generally 24 hours as Hartington says. The definitions are different in USA (or maybe in North America) and in Australia/NZ. I believe it's defined as 8 hours in the former zone, and overnight (ie passing midnight) in the latter. I have it somewhere but couldn't dig it out.

Anything exceeding the parameters below is a stopover :

- up to 4 hours in the US, Canada, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands, for wholly domestic fare components.
- the same day in Australia and New Zealand for wholly
domestic itineraries.
- up to 24 hours everywhere else.
