Frequently Asked Questions
How does the flight layover calculator work?
Enter your layover airport, arrival and departure times, and travel details like international connection status and baggage. The AI calculates your total layover duration and provides a detailed time breakdown for each step of the connection process.
What is the minimum recommended layover time?
Minimum times vary significantly. Domestic connections at smaller airports may need only 45-60 minutes, while large hub airports often require 1.5-2 hours. International connections with customs typically need 2-3 hours minimum. The calculator provides specific recommendations for your situation.
Does the calculator consider international connections?
Yes, select the international connection checkbox if your layover involves clearing customs or immigration. The AI adds appropriate time for passport control, customs inspection, and potential baggage reclaim and recheck procedures.
How accurate are the time estimates?
Time estimates are based on typical conditions at major airports during normal operations. Actual times can vary based on flight delays, time of day, day of week, seasonal crowds, and security threat levels. We recommend adding buffer time for important connections.
What activities can I do during a long layover?
The calculator suggests activities based on your layover duration and selected interests. Options may include airport lounges, dining experiences, duty-free shopping, spa services, or even quick city visits for very long layovers at airports with good transit connections.
Is my flight information stored?
No, your flight details are processed only for the layover analysis and are not stored permanently. Each calculation session is independent and your travel information remains completely private and secure.
