How LayoverHacker Works
Turn a long layover into a free mini-vacation — no extra flights needed.
1. Search for stopover flights
Enter your origin and destination. LayoverHacker searches for flights with 8–48 hour layovers in major hub cities — long enough to actually explore, but booked as a single ticket so you only check bags once.
2. See your real exploration time
The Stress Meter calculates how much time you actually have to explore — after immigration (90 min), transit to the city, time back to the airport, and a 2-hour pre-flight security buffer. Green means safe, amber means tight, red means risky.
3. Claim free airline perks
Airlines like Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways offer free hotel nights, city tours, and lounge access to passengers with long layovers. LayoverHacker automatically flags these perks when they apply to your route.
4. Get a free AI itinerary
Click any flight to generate a free, step-by-step itinerary powered by Gemini AI. It includes luggage storage info, visa requirements for your passport, a timeline of things to do, and links to tours and an eSIM so you have data when you land.
