Sometimes when you plan a trip, you have to deal with a longer than normal layover in a different city. This can be a blessing! I have highlighted five such layovers you can build into your trip itinerary to get the most from your trip (KLM - Amsterdam, Emirates - Dubai, British Airways - London, Turkish Airlines - Istanbul, IcelandAir - Reykjavik).

This is London. It's huge and it's full of energy. There are so many things to see in this city. Whatever you decide to do, don't forget to see iconic places like St. Paul's Cathedral, the Shard, Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus, Soho, Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Parliament, The Tate, Carnaby Street, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, and Westminster Abbey, just to name a few!
