Additional stopovers can extend travel time significantly, and some airlines have very long flight times even with a single stopover, with some surpassing 12h. The most common UK airport for departure is London Heathrow. However, this is the largest and busiest airport in the UK. Some passengers may prefer to use London City Airport, which is smaller and quieter.

Travel time for a one-stopover flight is around 9h 40m, but this varies drastically from airline to airline. With two stopovers, you are looking at 16h or more. Some return flights require three stopovers, which are even longer.
