Stopover
(noun)
A brief pause or interruption during a journey or trip, often to rest, refuel, or change modes of transportation.
Origin:
Derived from 'stop' (to pause or interrupt) and 'over' (during a journey or trip).
Examples:
- We made a stopover in Paris on our way to London.
- The flight had a three-hour stopover in Dubai, giving passengers a chance to stretch their legs and grab a bite to eat.
- Stopovers can be a great opportunity to explore a new city or country, even if just for a short time.
- Stopovers are often included in air travel itineraries, to allow for connections between flights.
- Some travelers prefer direct flights to minimize stopovers, while others see stopovers as a chance to add extra destinations to their trips.
