Stopover and wander.

How many of us feel comfortable with the concept (and execution) of stopover flights? In fact, how many actually can truly explain what a stopover flight is? In a nutshell, a stopover is a short stay in a place in between parts of a journey. It’s one of those hazy and perhaps convoluted standards of the airline industry. On the surface, reading up about stopover flights, it can often seem complex enough to make some of us give up trying. Certainly, on the surface, stopover flights are often cheaper than direct flights, making them a cost-effective choice for budget-conscious travelers.

Even better, if you play your cards right, a long layover can give you the chance to explore a new city, essentially adding a mini-vacation to your trip without the extra cost of a separate flight. Another obvious plus is the opportunity to break up a long journey that can make the overall travel experience more pleasant. You can rest, stretch your legs, and get a meal in between flights.
