Those very longhaul flights are not non-stop ;-) the planes have to
land to refuel or change crews and let part-way passengers on/off, so
they all have the option of stop-overs. If we're having a longhaul
stopover we prefer it to be for a couple of days, time to relax and look
around. Just ask your booking agent to arrange that, and make sure of a
seat with legroom in a quieter position. Plus, pick an airline with good
comfort , food and service.
