About Stopover

Stopover is a free multi-city trip planner: give it your home airport, the cities you want to visit and a date window, and it prices every order the cities could go in, on dates that fit together, and gives you the cheapest one, with a link to book each flight.

A multi-city search on Google Flights or Kayak prices the order you type. The same cities in a different order, or with the move between them a day later, can cost hundreds more or less, and finding that out by hand means searching every order on every day. On the 72 routes we price in full, the order alone is typically worth about $189 a person, and up to $900.

It also checks the 15 tricks a single search cannot show you: a layover long enough to count as a free extra city, two separate tickets that beat one through fare, a cheaper day either side, a city you could add for little on the way home. Each one is explained here.

Stopover never sells a ticket and never takes payment for a flight. Each leg links to Google Flights, Kiwi, Skyscanner or the airline, and what you pay there is what they charge.

Planning is free. Without an account you can plan up to 3 trips a day; a free account checks every leg live and includes 2 trips; a 30-day trip pass is $8.99, charged once. Pricing, in full.

Some links to Aviasales carry an affiliate code that names this site as the referrer; the terms, section 5, say what that means. It does not change the price you pay, and it never changes which flight the planner recommends: ranking is by what the trip costs you. Every other booking link is a plain link. No airline or booking site owns Stopover or pays for a place in a plan.

From flight searches run while your plan is built, and from fares seen recently that are still in the cache. Every price on a plan is labeled with which it is and how old it is, and the button beside it opens the live search, because fares move and the site that sells the ticket has the last word.

Fares are found in US dollars from a US point of sale. A plan from outside the US shows them converted to the home currency at the day’s rate, and says so.

Stopover lives at flystopover.com. It is not stopover.travel or AirWander, which are different products, and it is not an airline’s stopover program, though it will tell you when one is on your route. How those programs work.
