How often do you see those amazingly cheap airfares, Australia to the USA $850 return! Cheap get me on the plane now right? Well; it is not till you go to book that airfare that they slap you with the 3 extra sector flights; and or a long stopover somewhere random. Fellow travellers, we are here to tell you; those airline stopovers are a fantastic way to get an express sneak peek of a city; you may not have initially thought about for a holiday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Every airline has a central hub in which their aircraft must touch down. For Example, Emirates hub city is Dubai, Qantas’s hub city is Sydney, Malaysian Airlines hub city is Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\r\n

You will find most of their tickets will transit through their hub city, most straight-through fares will only have a few hours layover however there are the cheaper tickets that have a longer stopover.<\/p>\r\n

Use the airline stopover as a bonus; it breaks up the long haul flight, and you get to visit a city that you might not have planned to. As for us, we had a 12 hour stop in Texas and the main thing we wanted to see and do, was to visit the space centre and eat ribs.<\/p>\r\n

You have to make sure the stop is worth the effort of getting out of the airport, I would recommend booking at least a 12-hour interval between flights. This is the perfect amount of time to head out maybe do a city tour, walking tour or just eat lunch in a different country. Be sure to check out your airline’s website, quite often they will offer stopover packages with your airline ticket depending on the length of the stop.<\/p>\r\n
