Use this free layover calculator to check whether the time between your flights is comfortable, tight, or risky. Enter your arrival and departure times, tell us a little about the connection, and get an instant verdict based on typical airport connection times.


How much layover time do you really need?

As a rule of thumb, allow at least 60–90 minutes for a domestic connection on one ticket, 2 hours for an international connection at a large hub, and 3 hours or more if you booked separate tickets and must collect and re-check baggage. Big hubs such as Dubai (DXB), Frankfurt (FRA) and Singapore (SIN) can involve long walks, security re-checks and immigration queues — the calculator above adds time for exactly those factors.

A longer layover is not wasted time: major hubs offer lounges, rest zones and even free city tours for transit passengers. Read our guide to spending a long layover for ideas.
