[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]do stopovers really ease the pain? ofc if you want to see the place fine but I feel like it is better to just get where you are going and start trying to adjust.   For bangkok I think from DC you have to decide if you land in bangkok  in evening and try to go to bed or early morning.  Counterintuitively I like the early morning arrival as it helps you get on time zone more. [/quote]
I don't think stopovers help.  You end up spending more time in airports and security lines, plus packing and unpacking. No thanks.  Just get me there ASAP.

We did a stopover in Doha and the first flight from DC you ate a meal, watched a movie or two, slept, had breakfast and you were there.   Then we walked a bunch in the airport to stretch out legs.  On the next flight we had another meal, slept and woke up to breakfast with a movie.  Then we were there. It wasn't that bad.  With the morning arrival make sure you can get into a hotel room to shower, change and repack your day bag.

I recommend the Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai in Bangkok.  It's right on the metro line so super easy to get to from the airport.  And it has several amazing swimming pools that feel even more amazing after a long flight.[/quote]

For me, layovers do help.  I have arthritis and I want to be up and walking around.  Hours and hours in the same position are torture.[/quote]
