Several times I had almost a full 24hrs between starting my day and getting home on the last day of 15. One time I did that on day 16. That was before they paid for extending a day(they said they would give you a day off in return). After I left I believe they improved their policy but I’m sure it’s better at NJ. It sounds like you’re at NJ so I’ll leave that up to you to decide.

IF you are going to your domicile but want to use a different airline than what the company booked, you will get back 100% of what you paid IF it is the same OR LESS as what the company would have paid. If your ticket is more than what the company WOULD have paid, you get UP TO what the company would have paid.
If you want to go someplace OTHER than domicile, the company will only reimburse 90% of what you paid UP TO 90% of what THEY would have paid to get you home.

The 52 day is actually the highest daily rate. So if you want pick up an extended day or two and enjoy the extra time off the 52 day affords nearly 7n7 pay. You are limited to 4 extended days per four months though.
