Airline stopover programmes you need to know about

If you’re a frequent flyer, particularly long-haul, there are probably plenty of cities you’ve passed through but never stepped foot in.

From Europe, you may have spent time in airport megahubs like Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul and Singapore Changi, never leaving the confines of the airport.

But it doesn’t have to be that way if you’re a savvy flyer taking advantage of airline stopover programmes which let you spend a day or two (or even a week) in the city without sending the flight prices soaring.

Here are a few of the airline stopover programmes we think flyers from Europe should be taking advantage of.
