Areoflot! Nice! We flew Areoflot here in Russia. Very nice airline! Great video as well!

Thanks for the video. I had no clue this existed. I might see if I can do this in Mexico.

Great vid and good info as always. Another good option during a stopover if you're not getting a hotel is recharging yourself in a lounge. Some priority pass lounges at major international airports have showers and some are open 24 hours

Thank you for opening my eyes to new opportunities for me, Earnest! Awesome video! Original content! I have not come across this tip before…

Do you think you can do a video with this 23:59 and transfer partners with chase. I was having a hard time figuring it out how to do it with my pointed

Earnest that is an awesome video!!! Good tips I need to check out air wander to see if they have some cool stopovers on the way to New Zealand!! I did a stopover with air New Zealand 🇳🇿 at Cook Islands 🇨🇰 on my way to New Zealand back in 2015…

I ♥️ it. U speak my way of explanation slow calm n understanding u in a lay person learning this method
Ty i appreciate it n going to put this vid in one of my youtube folders for future reference on stop-overs
Again ty for truly taking the time to make me (viewer) understand this option 😊

I traveled to Ukraine with a layover of 15 hours in France. I did it in purpose to know Paris but I didn't know this method had a name (23:59).
I think I discovered by myself before watching your video 😅 But good job for this amazing video. Some people don't know that you can visit different cities by extending the time of the layover. I save a lot of money doing it and also when I leave the airport to visit Paris, I got a free unlimited metro card to use in the subway. They told me that day they were giving unlimited metro card to students for only that day 😎

By the way, I think a good tip about "23:59 rule" would be to choose a cheaper final destination and choose expansive layovers. In my previous example, if I would book a flight to Paris with a layover in Ukraine would've been more expensive. It's simple knowledge, it's cheaper to flight to Ukraine than France, therefore Ukraine has to be the final destination.

Good video, subscribed

You’re so cute. Great video!

A few years ago I flew from Boston to Rome with a 23 hour layover in Dublin on Aer Lingus. Found the flight on Expedia. Left Boston around 9pm and landed in Dublin sometime around 8am. After getting my checked luggage (first time leaving the country and solo so I felt safer doing it this way… I just requested this option when checking my bag) I checked into a hotel practically next to the airport. Took a quick shower and went right into the city. Had time to see the Guinness factory, Trinity College and much of the city using the hop on hop off bus. The Hop on Hop off busses are amazing for one day in a city! After a day of exploring the city, I grabbed dinner and went back to the hotel. My flight was the next morning at 7am and was a 2 minute airport shuttle away. Highly recommend Dublin for a short layover!

One bit of advice: if you do a long layover, just know your limits. I am younger and could push myself to last the whole day. While I was very tired at the end of the day when returning to the hotel, the ability to see the highlights of Dublin was beyond worth it! However, just don't push yourself too much that it may impact the rest of your trip.

I went from New York to Johannesburg. Since both US to Europe and Europe to SA tend to be overnight ones, this got me 17 hours in Madrid which I really enjoyed. They didn't check my checked bag at JFK onto SA (they said the layover was too long) but upon arrival in the morning I was able to check my checked bag to SA and used the daytime airport storage for my hand luggage. They had an airport lounge for about 30 euros that I used to shower after the heat and eat dinner. The number of showers was limited, so figure in extra time if that's important. Riding the trains was a good break from the heat and since I love exploring transportation was a good use of 2-5 pm when many places close. Europe to US flights tend to be in the mornings so I was able to get home without much delay.

Why is there Yugoslavia in 0:49? 😂😂😂

First time I booked a stopover award trip was a couple years ago when redeeming Alaska airlines miles for an American airlines coach ticket (I know, it's not the best use but I was still learning at the time 😂 ).
Alaska miles are some of the most generous when it comes to stopovers since I was able to redeem just 20,000 miles (at the time, the cost has since increased) from Honolulu Hawaii to London via Los Angeles LAX. As Alaska miles allow for virtually unlimited duration on the stopover, I created a 2 week gap between my flight from HNL to LAX and then from LAX to LHR. Final tax cost : just $23.70

Win win situation with Alaska 😎

Even better, book a flight with a really short layover. Flights rarely depart on the clock, so you're almost guaranteed to miss your connection due to a late arrival, and then the airline will put you on another flight and possibly even put you in a hotel. We visited Copenhagen, Lima and Mexico City this way.

Thanks trip

can i book same company airlines to get the lagguage all over to final destination if my stopover is 23 hours?

I am going to Copenhagen i want use layover and explore paris and final destination is Copenhagen i have Schengen visa
Please give your suggestion about lagguage and other things. . .
Please reply as soon as possible

I wonder if these tips are still applicable in this time of the pandemic.

strong passports get benefits for this stop over flight, passport holders like India need visa to stop over city. Once i was flying from German city to Dubai via Bulgaria. They have not allowed me to board on flight as i required visa

Great tips. thank you! I had a layover with turkish airlines and they had hotel included. It was awesome to see Istambul for free.!
