In the dynamic and ever-changing world of air transport, travellers are often faced with complex itineraries that include extended stopovers, where regulation, logistics, cargo transportation, comfort and service standards play a crucial role. This is where the concept of STPC, or “Stopover Paid by Carrier”, comes in, an ingenious solution that transforms a potentially tedious stopover into a rewarding opportunity.
STPC is a service offered by some airlines to enhance the passenger experience during an extended stopover. When your itinerary includes a stopover of several hours, or even an entire night, STPC can cover the cost of accommodation, meals and sometimes even transportation between the airport and the hotel. This initiative aims to make your trip more comfortable and enjoyable, while incorporating sustainable practices and allowing you to discover a new destination, even if only briefly.
One of the main advantages of STPC is that it turns a potential constraint into a positive experience. Instead of spending long hours at the airport, you have the opportunity to rest in a comfortable hotel, enjoy a good meal and, in some cases, explore the city you're stopping in. It can also reduce the stress of traveling, giving you a moment to relax before resuming your flight.
To take advantage of STPC, it's essential to check whether your airline offers this service. Conditions vary from one airline to another, but STPC is generally offered for stopovers exceeding a certain number of hours. It is advisable to contact the airline directly or consult their website for detailed information on eligibility and booking procedures.
