As I am a leisure traveller ... I find it a bit of a waste to just transit especially if I have never been to that destination, so I always make an effort to stopover. I have only ever transited at one airport, that is AMM, but that transit was only added on to a DONE fare to milk some extra miles/SCs.
SIN, MAD, BNE. I am sure DXB will be on there in the not-so-distant future now that QF is routing through DXB.
I had the chance to stopover in SIN on my way through to MUC in a few weeks. Instead I decided to book a side trip from SIN-NRT for the reasons that (1) Tokyo is more exciting; and (2) the chance to be on the 787.
