A stop between flights long enough to leave the airport. Six hours in Tokyo is not wasted time.

Can a layover save me money?

Often 30–50% less than the direct fare on the same route. The stop pays for itself.

How does LayoverScore work?

One number: 0–100. High scores mean long enough, cheap enough, easy enough and worth the stop.

Do I need a visa for a layover?

Depends on your passport and the country. Every option shows visa status before you commit to anything.

LayoverHQ is the company behind Layover.ing™. The product is Layover.ing™, the tool that scores layovers and helps travelers save on flights.

Is a layover worth it?

If the stop scores well (visa-free, enough time, things to do), it often saves 30-50% versus the direct fare. LayoverScore™ runs the numbers so you can decide in seconds.
