This is a question we get asked often, and fortunately we have the data to answer. Turns out, you can save a whole bunch of cash by choosing a flight with a stopover, rather than flying direct. And you might save more than you think. For example, flying Hong Kong to Los Angeles with a single stop can save you up to 44% on average compared to a direct flight. Similarly, you can save up to 26% if you’re willing to make a stop on the way to London.
