Frequently Asked Questions
When is a layover worth the savings?
A layover is worth it when the ticket savings exceed the value of your extra time spent traveling. Consider fatigue, missed connection risk, and stress in your calculation.
What is a good layover length?
Domestic layovers of 1 to 2 hours are ideal. International layovers should be at least 2 to 3 hours for customs and terminal changes.
What happens if I miss a connection?
If booked on one ticket, the airline will rebook you on the next available flight. If on separate tickets, you bear the cost and risk of rebooking.
