- ghaff 9y agoBecause you're going somewhere and want to get there. Nothing wrong with a stopover day but there's a fair bit of overhead associated with clearing immigration/customs and heading into a stopover city for a day. If it's somewhere I really want to go, sure. But it's certainly not worth it just to break a flight up.
- homakov 9y agoThat's what makes me wonder. I feel so bad after 10hr flight that I'd rather spend a day in a city like Doha (unfortunately most stopover cities are also most boring middle-eastern cities). I mean I'm jealous - it's the reason I avoid long distance flights at all cost. Maybe business class is more bearable or there are special tricks like sleeping pills, dunno.
- ghaff 9y agoCertainly it's better in business though I don't fly that routinely. If I have the time and the opportunity presents itself to visit a city I want to spend time in, I'm more than happy to. But turning a 20-hour flight into a two+ day journey with additional airport transfers, etc. isn't an improvement in my book. I can usually sleep a bit even in coach. And I just read and watch movies the rest of the time. I don't like it but I don't see the advantage of stretching it out.
- homakov 9y agoOk I see your point, good for you. I never can sleep neither in coach or business - when I fly I'm super anxious though I dont have aerofobia anymore.
