A quick stopover can unlock big savings, but know when the trade-off is worth it.
Flights with a connection are often cheaper than non-stop options because airlines route passengers through hubs to fill more seats. If you're willing to add a stop, you can frequently save a significant amount on long-haul routes.
Connections add travel time, and a missed connection can disrupt your trip. For shorter holidays where time is precious, the convenience of a non-stop flight may be worth the extra cost.
Compare the total time and cost of both options. If a connection saves a meaningful amount and you have the time to spare, it's a great way to stretch your holiday budget further.
