Some Foreign Airlines Offer Volunteer Stopover Deals


For example, book a flight on Norwegian Air, with the destination of Paris. The schedule includes a stop in Oslo. Normally, you’d stay on the plane for the hour or so it takes other travelers to exit and enter.

However, suppose the airline offered you a free night at an Oslo hotel, dinner and other goodies worth several hundred dollars? That’s the trend these days for some foreign airlines to get you to spend time and money in their home city. Would you, a senior with no particular reason to hurry, add a free day or two to the journey? When booking your next overseas flight with a stopover, ask if the airline offers this attractive freebee.

Frommers loves it. Trip Advisor gives it five stars. Sherman Travel voted it the top hotel, big or small, in the entire city of London. With the not-so-fancy name of Main House Hotel, what’s so great about it?

First, it’s not in the high-priced hotel location around Trafalgar Square. Main House (Caroline Main owns it) is in the quaint Notting Hill neighborhood, just a few steps from Portobello Road. That’s where the world’s biggest flea market/fun fair/antique sale operates each weekend, and that alone is worth the visit.

The rooms are extra large and decorated in glorious 18th and 19th Century English antique style. Rates begin at about $80 per night. The  address is 6 Colville Road, Notting Hill, London, U.K., phone 011-44-207-221-9691 and Email address is www.themainhouse.co.uk
