stopovers

Brief journey pauses

Stopovers are brief stays during a longer journey, typically at intermediate points between origin and destination.

Airlines offer stopovers as a way to break up long flights or explore a city en route: We added a two-day stopover in Iceland on our way to London.

The term also applies to any scheduled pause in travel.
