Fair questions, straight answers.

Two. A Stopover City trip is two separate tickets, which is exactly why it’s often cheaper than the direct flight. Book hands the whole trip to our booking partner as one search, so both legs sit in one basket, or open the Google Flights links and book each leg direct with the airline.

With separate tickets, the second airline owes you nothing — this is the trade-off, and we’d rather say it plainly. It’s also why StopoverCity only shows connections measured in days, not tight same-day dashes, so there’s room to recover. If it comes to it, we’ll point you to the cheapest rebooking.

Airlines price each route by its own supply and demand, and budget carriers fly cheap point-to-point routes that never appear in one-ticket searches. Splitting the journey unlocks prices the airlines never combine themselves.

You collect your bags at the stopover — you’re going into the city anyway. Check them in fresh for leg two. Pack carry-on if you want to be quickest.

You’re properly entering that country, so normal entry rules apply — same as booking a holiday there. Check requirements for your passport before booking.

Nothing. Searching is free, fares are never marked up, and we charge you no booking fee. You book on our partner’s site at their price, and we may earn a commission from them when you do. The price you pay is the same either way.

You describe your trip in plain words; our AI (Claude) turns it into a structured search — cities, dates, stopover length — and runs it. Your text is used only to build the search.

Each ticket follows its airline’s own fare rules — most budget fares are non-refundable but changeable for a fee. Since the bookings are with the airlines, changes happen there, on the carrier that issued each ticket.
