International carriers have different policies when it comes to passengers and stopovers.

Up until the early seventies, some airlines offered subsidised 'stopover' accommodation rates for one night, particularly when the airline's flight schedules were less than optimum and not as appealing as a competitor's.

It was also a practice of emerging governments to generate much-needed tourism income via their national carriers. This was achieved by subsidising stop-overs in their respective countries. Airlines notable for this practice at the time were Alitalia, Sabena, KLM, and SAS in Europe, and a few South and North American Airlines.

Today, there no longer remains any scheduled carrier that provides complimentary or subsidised stopover accommodation for economy passengers.

However, First Class passengers are still offered complimentary one-night 'rest-stops' with transport to and from the airport with certain unrestricted full-fare tickets. Passengers utilising discounted Premium fares of any sort, including negotiated corporate fares and frequent flier bookings do not benefit from these offers.

Key transit/stopover carriers are predominantly those based in the Middle East and Asia.

With First Class fares running in excess of GBP£5,000. per passenger, it's a savvy marketing tool for airlines to do everything possible to attract these increasingly rare passengers. (and their desperately needed revenue)!

It should be noted that Saudi Airlines was never a participant in any such schemes due to the extreme entry/exit restrictions for the country.

As Saudi Airlines does not currently enjoy 'Fifth Freedom' rights in any country, your stopover is most likely connecting from Saudi to another airline. In that instance, no carrier ever participates in subsidised stopover packages, regardless of ticket value.

Is it possible to get a free stopover after you have booked the flights to a country?

It depends on the airline, the flight, and your personal circumstances. Certain airlines, like IcelandAir, offer free stopovers as incentives to visit their air hub. But it's best to research this before you book the flight, not after. To see if you're able to book a free stopover on your flight, check the airline's website and/or call the airline directly. Alternately, consider booking flights with frequent flier miles and talking to booking agents on the phone about whether you can add a free stopover to your itinerary.
