The money is real.
Layovers that save $200–$400 exist on almost every long-haul route. The direct flight premium is a marketing choice, not a physical law.
MANIFESTO
Every year, millions of travelers choose the fastest path from A to B. Most of them miss the point.
The case for the stop
4.5 billion people fly every year. The overwhelming majority of them go direct.
A layover is not a problem to minimise. It is a city you have not visited yet.
18 hours in Dubai. 14 hours in Singapore. 10 hours in Tokyo. Not a delay. A decision.
Why it works
Layovers that save $200–$400 exist on almost every long-haul route. The direct flight premium is a marketing choice, not a physical law.
Every major hub is also a great city. Singapore has the best airport on earth and the best hawker food. They knew what they were doing.
Knowing your LayoverScore™ before you book turns a guess into a call. Time, visa, transit, things to do. One number.
