You probably know what a layover is when you’re flying.

But not many people know how to take advantage of a stopover.

A growing number of airlines now allow travelers to spend up to 15 days in an intermediate city before continuing to their final destination.

Copa, the Panama-based airline, lets you stop over for more than two weeks.

Emirates not only allows stopovers but also offers free lodging in Dubai for up to two days.

For travelers headed Down Under, Alaska Airlines lets you stop over in Honolulu.
