What is Stopover?
Stopover is a type of travel similar to a flight stopover, in which the passenger stops at a place along the way, spends a few days there, and then takes the same flight to their final destination. All of this happens according to the passenger's preferences.
This type of boarding is more common in international destinations that have many flight hours. A practical example of a stopover is that of a passenger traveling from Brazil to Japan.
In order not to spend 24 hours on the same plane, he opts for a flight with a stopover to Germany, spends a few days in the country and then travels to Japan. Everything is agreed in advance with the airline, with little or no additional cost.
How does the stopover work?
To use the stopover, the passenger must agree on all the details of the process in advance with the airline, verifying the availability of the service and the existence of additional charges. The modality can be requested for domestic or international trips that have a stopover or flight connection.
Because they offer greater comfort and flexibility during the tour, several airlines work with stopovers, even creating specific packages for those who wish to take advantage of this type of travel. It is worth remembering that the maximum period for staying at a stopover destination is a maximum of 30 days.
