A stopover can be a layover, but it can also be a much longer stop — often a second destination on part of a multi-stop itinerary. Many airlines, like Delta, impose a no stopover restriction on most award tickets. When traveling internationally, a stopover refers to a stay that lasts longer than 24 hours.

How long can stopovers be?

A layover typically refers to a connection point between cities, sometimes as short as 30 minutes or as long as 23 hours, whereas a stopover refers to staying longer than 24 hours in any given city when traveling internationally (on domestic itineraries, the limit is reduced to four hours).
