The only place I can think of that we weren't allowed off the plane was in Colombo, Sri Lanka, when they were at civil war. I think we were flying to the Maldives, our flight was overbooked, so we were offered business class upgrades if we flew via Sri Lanka. Of course we said yes.

I think we had a stopover in Copenhagen once too, where we couldn't leave the plane for whatever reason. Not exotic, but I'd love to go back for a real visit sometime.

Same for us. We cruised out of Copenhagen and arrived the same day. I wish we had a day or two but time constraints prevented that and from spending time after the cruise.

An unscheduled stop in Kotzebue means I've been north of the Arctic Circle.

Had a midnight stopover in the Cook Islands on the way between LA and NZ once.

I guess it would be Senegal for me. We stopped for refueling on the way from NY to Johannesburg but could not get off the plane. It was one of those places that always intrigued me but I haven't yet been there.

My cousin's son spent time there in the Peace Corps and got very, very sick with some intestinal bug. When they picked him up at the airport on his return home they were horrified at his appearance and they drove straight to a hospital instead of home. Maybe it's just as well I haven't gone there.
