If you have a long trip with a connection, most airlines will charge you the same whether you get the earliest connection or get one a few days later. If you aren’t in a rush this is a good way to break it up, and travel to somewhere different.

Yes it costs more booking a hotel for a couple of nights, but it’s still probably going to be cheaper than upgrading to business class. You usually have to book it directly through their website (look for “multi city”) rather than through an agent.

When flying Auckland-Zurich we decided to delay the stop over in Dubai by 24h and used the time to sleep in a hotel. We went to bed at 10am and got up the next day at 7am. We had pizza delivered for a short midnight lunch in bed. It was perfect.
