stopovers

stopovers is a skill for Claude Code from borski/travel-hacking-toolkit. It costs 62 tokens per session (2,768 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference skill describing stopover rules for airline loyalty programs. A stopover is a planned stay at an intermediate airport—usually more than 24 hours internationally—before continuing to the final destination.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check which programs permit free stopovers, how many are allowed, how long they can last, where they can occur, and whether they cost extra.
Why use it?
It helps determine whether a multi-city award journey can include an extra destination and what each program allows.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

stopovers scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Stopover Rules per Loyalty Program

Reference data for which programs allow stopovers on award redemptions, how many, where, for how long, and at what cost. Sourced primarily from each airline's own award rules pages, cross-checked against Frequent Miler, OMAAT, Travel Miles 101, Prince of Travel, and Upgraded Points.

Data lives in data/stopovers.json. Refresh cadence is 90 days because stopover rules change rarely (much less often than transfer bonuses or program valuations).

What Is a Stopover?

A planned interruption of a journey at a point between origin and destination. The IATA standard definition is:

  • More than 24 hours for international itineraries
  • More than 4 hours for domestic itineraries (US/Canada)

Each loyalty program defines its own rules within or beyond this baseline. Some programs let you stop for a week. Some let you stop for 365 days. Some don't allow stopovers at all.

The headline value: a free stopover lets you visit two destinations on a single award. Iceland on the way to Europe. Tokyo on the way to Bangkok. Singapore on the way to Sydney.

When to Use This Skill

  • User wants to plan a multi-city trip and asks "what's the best program for stopovers?"
  • User asks about a specific program's stopover rule (e.g. "does Aeroplan allow stopovers?")
  • Building a trip itinerary that could benefit from a free second destination
  • Comparing programs for award redemption when stopover flexibility matters
  • Identifying the cheapest "free vacation in Iceland" via Icelandair stopover
  • Researching JetBlue + Icelandair partner award routings

When NOT to Use

  • Cash flight stopovers (most cash fares have layover rules but not "free stopover" perks; check the airline's fare conditions instead)
  • Booking the actual itinerary (use the program's website or call the booking phone)
  • Award holds (use award-holds skill — that's a different concept)
  • Round-the-world tickets (use round-the-world skill — different framework with global routing rules)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
