Stopover
A stopover , also called a stop-over , is a deliberately flown intermediate destination in the field of air travel.
The term usually only stands for longer stopovers or stopovers with overnight stays. A change or a stay of several hours is not called a stopover. Stays of less than 24 hours, including those with overnight stays, are referred to as via .
Mainly network carriers offer their intercontinental passengers stopover options at the respective aviation hubs . These can include one or more, in some cases free, overnight stays in the same or in different locations, as well as the corresponding transport transfers. Other activities such as excursions or admissions can also be included in the booking package.
In some countries, such as B. China , in deviation from the otherwise necessary entry regulations, a visa-free stay of up to six days is permitted as part of a so-called TWOV ( T ransit W ith o ut V isa) when carrying out a stopover program .
