    According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a stopover is defined as a planned interruption in a journey where a passenger stays at an intermediate point for more than 24 hours for international flights. This allows travelers the opportunity to leave the airport and explore the stopover city before continuing to their final destination.

    The stopover fee is waived if you book your flight to Japan, Korea, China, or Taiwan and book a stopover in Hong Kong on your return flight from your primary destination (Japan, Korea, Chinese Mainland, or Taiwan China).

    For other flights, the stopover fee may vary depending on currency fluctuations. The final amount at the time of booking is all-inclusive, including any additional charges and surcharges.
