Tip #38: Embrace the "Two-in-One" Layover Strategy

Similar to planned stopovers, the "two-in-one" layover strategy involves strategically choosing flights with extended layovers in desirable cities. The key is to pick airlines that offer a free or very cheap layover in their hub city (e.g., Icelandair in Reykjavik, Emirates in Dubai, Ethiopian Airlines in Addis Ababa). This allows you to experience a new city without paying for separate airfare, essentially getting two destinations for the price of one flight. Research visa requirements and free city tours offered by the airline for maximum benefit.
