We are traveling to bangkok with a transfer in tokyo. Can we stay a few days before going on bangkok?

Question

I am confued on how a stopover works. We are flying united and if I read it right we can get one free stopover and then pay for one. Has anyone done this and how does it work?

Answer 1

You have to contact the Airline some allow stopovers, some charge you and some don't allow.  You need to tell them so you can be booked on a later flight and if you already have your ticket they may charge you for making a change to your itinerary.  

Answer 2

Agree with Nam Erewhon, you normally need to book a stopover when you originally purchase your ticket. Depending on the fare you paid and the restrictions based on that fare, you most likely will have to pay a fee to change a non-stop flight to a stopover flight. Read the fare rules for the ticket you purchased if you have them available, or probably the easiest thing to do is to call United.

Answer 3

Most likely the answer is yes - but contact your airline to verify.

Personally - I don't think it is worth it to stay in Japan for a couple of days - just head straight to Thailand
