A layover can feel smooth or exhausting. The difference is knowing what to do and when. Most problems come from poor timing and unclear priorities.
International and mixed connections involve immigration, security, or terminal changes. Assuming every layover works like a domestic transfer leads to missed flights.
Taxi time, walking, lines, and early boarding reduce usable time fast. Always protect the connection first. Comfort comes second.
Lounges make sense for long waits, quiet space, and reliable Wi-Fi. They’re less useful for short layovers or overcrowded terminals.
Decide between sleeping in-airport or getting a hotel. Pack light essentials: eye mask, charger, layers, hygiene items.
Check flight status and gate. Secure the connection. Use extra time intentionally. Return early. Predictability beats panic.
