I’m not sure of the technically correct terminology, but my understanding is that by default less than 24 hours is a layover between segments on the same trip, after 24 hours it’s a stopover and becomes separate. Other factors may also come in to play.

The fact there is a less than 24 hour break between two or more flights on the same booking doesn’t automatically make the flights connecting ones for the purposes of EC261 which was the original question posed in this thread.
Agreed, which I think was established earlier. The more recent question is effectively does a break of more than 24 hours automatically mean it’s not a connection?

I would say that the main concern was to be protected in case A –> B got delayed that you will get the proper “protection” (rerouting/rebooking) for B –> C (as, once again, you built it as 2 separate flights but then it seems to be ticketed as a single A –> C itinerary – which seems to mean protection exists and you are safe -)

It’s possible, subject to the agreement of the airline, to have connecting flights with a greater than 24 hour break but it’s not usually allowed under fare construction rules but two sector fares may be being applied anyway. The period of 24 hours is lower in some regions and doesn’t apply to purely domestic journeys.

Are you thinking of some specific EC261 cases?
