If you are searching for plane tickets and you happen to find some that involve really long layovers (6 hours or more), consider whether you might actually be interested in quickly checking out that city during your layover. This might make that ticket more appealing than tickets with shorter layovers.

For instance, I once flew from the US to India, with a 6 hour layover in Amsterdam. You can bet that we made the most of that layover by going out and seeing Amsterdam! It was great.

If you can get a ticket with a long layover in an interesting place, it's like getting a little bonus "trip within a trip".

Just make sure that you can an eye on the clock, and get back to the airport in plenty of time to go through security and make your next flight.
