20 hours for what? Its 3-4 hours from Riga to Istanbul, then 9 hours to Hong Kong/Taipei maybe, if your going to Shanghai its about same. Stopover can be three days or maybe more if you want, hotels in Istanbul are not expensive.
Then is going to USA from Riga, maybe FinnAir or LOT (via Warsaw), Riga has mostly Air Baltic flights so not as many airline choices as other Baltic Airports.
He posts about Taiwan but he never actually seems to come here.
See @OysterOmelet ? You should come and visit us some day! If you come to Taiwan, you can then try the Turkish Airlines stopover option on the way to Latvia. Win Win Win!
Stopover deals a lot, Also could fly to Taiwan on Turkish, so he can come to Taiwan or Asia easy, but still Taiwan has nice airlines, maybe like USA to Taiwan to Europe on EVA or China Air.
Layovers should be at a discount, no? Outside of paying the tax for exiting the airport, they ought to be selling their inconveniencesto customers at a discount, not a premium.
Don’t let the cat out of the bag, extending their 24 hour waste of your life to a week is a fair trade.
yes, in some cases great deals, like Qatar stopover, nice hotels at 25$ per 24 hours. (Interesting city, but real hot like 45c, makes KHH seem like Hawaii).
Taiwanese airlines have some stop over packages, and city tour, so can fly USA to Europe via Taiwan. I have not tried this tour, I wonder if I could for free if just arrive to Taiwan?
Free
Also Free, with Free Metro Ticket and more local tour.
