    AIUI even when there are no stopovers available a "multi-city" option is still likely cheaper than buying singles separately because the legs can usually be priced at "half return" prices rather than "single" prices. Commented Mar 18, 2023 at 18:31

    It currently is all three of the Middle-Eastern carriers you named! Emirates gives you a free hotel and transfer, Etihad and Qatar heavily subsidize it.

    Reykjavik in Iceland is also a common stopover location for Europe<->North America flights. There are usually direct alternatives skipping Iceland but if you wish to stay Icelandic airlines usually help you do that

    This July 2022 article from ThePointsGuy describes stopover programs from (deep breath) Avianca, Copa Airlines, Emirates, Etihad, Ethiopian, Finnair, Iberia, Icelandair, Oman Air, Qatar Airways, Swiss International, TAP Air Portugal, and Turkish. Their generosity varies, from "extra time with no extra charge" to "complementary hotel for an overnight stay". Commented Mar 20, 2023 at 20:27
