Free stopovers and layovers by airlines

Posted by somecrazybroad@reddit | Shoestring | View on Reddit | 16 comments

I’m wondering what airlines do free multi-day stopovers or layovers? I know about Play and Iceland Air in Iceland, and Singapore Airlines for Singapore.

Any others I’m missing?

Air France does up to one week stopovers in Paris

FYI any airline will do this for the difference in fares (which may be nothing or very little). If you find a ticket you like but want a longer layover, just call the airline and ask what it would cost to add a day long (or more) layover to the ticket.

Can you explain further? How would this not turn into two tickets and be way more expensive?

Say you’re in Cincinnati, wanting a layover in Boston on your way to Denver.

You find a ticket on 10/23 Cincinnati ➡️ Boston ➡️ Denver for $400.

And also find a ticket on 10/24 for the same route for $450.

That’s a pretty good indication that, instead of booking your ticket online, you can call the airline and have the person on the phone book a ticket that lands you in Boston on 10/23 and has you leaving for Denver on 10/24 for around $450.

Gotcha. I don’t think that’s quite what I’m looking for.
