In the spring I have a plan to visit Japan. As part of this I want to take a stopover or two; Beijing has my key attention with the 72 hour stopover visa.
If I search for flights between home and Tokyo then I find the SkyScanner, Google Flights, etc… offer some very nice flexible options for finding the cheapest dates, length of travel, etc…
However, as soon as I make it Geneva-Beijing-Tokyo-Geneva it all falls apart. I’m stuck searching for 3 particular dates at a time.
Is there any way to effectively search for decent deals when you want a multi-destination flight?
Do any search engines support calendars of prices in this particular situation?
It is proving particularly annoying as my most likely airline, Air China, when using their site, directly gives me stopovers as short as possible by default with good return prices but adds several hundred if I try to extend my stopover.
