Instead of viewing layovers as a disadvantage, why not flip the script? If you’re someone who loves traveling, we suggest opting for extra-long layovers so as to give you time to leave the airport and explore the city you’re in. You might be tired from your previous flight, but here’s why we think that shouldn’t be a problem.

Change Your Mindset

We totally understand the pure exhaustion that takes place when you arrive at a random airport after your first flight. The last thing you want to do is to leave the airport and then go through security again later. But we guarantee that once you leave the airport, your enthusiasm for traveling will boost your energy levels way up. A whole new adventure awaits you!

Prepare in Advance

If you treat the layover like an extra perk in your trip, and not a thorn in your side, you’ll prepare accordingly. Once you know you’re going, you’ll look up all the fun things to do in one day, and you’ll get excited about leaving the airport during your layover.

A Free Trip

The best part about this is that you aren’t paying any extra money to visit this city. In fact, you probably paid less, because tickets with layovers are generally cheaper than direct flights. So you’re basically just getting to visit a foreign city for free!
