How it works

Make the layover
decision obvious.

Start with the few details that matter, then open the live planner with your timing already filled in.

  1. 01 / START

    Where and when

    Tell us where and when. Enter your airport or starting point, your layover length, and how you want to travel. Set aside the time you need to get back through security and reach your gate.

  2. 02 / DISCOVER

    A little adventure

    Find a little adventure. Search for coffee, restaurants, shopping, or sights. Explore nearby places on the map and compare estimated travel and visit times.

  3. 03 / PLAN

    Your layover trip

    Build your layover trip. Add the places you want to visit, then calculate your trip. See travel between stops, your return journey, and how the plan fits your available time.

A little room to breathe matters. Travel times are estimates; check your airline's boarding time, security requirements, and current conditions before heading out.
