The independent layover and lounge index
Know your layover before you land
Which lounge will actually let you in. Where you can sleep without a security guard waking you. How long the terminal change really takes. 176 airport guides live and growing, every one researched, opinionated and dated.

Three ways into every airport
Pick the guide that fits your connection. Layover guides cover how to spend a 3, 5 or 8 hour stop. Lounge guides cover who actually gets in and what a day pass costs. Sleeping guides cover where to rest on a long overnight.
How the index works
Built for the traveler standing in the terminal
Every guide opens with a verdict, not a history of the airport. Good for 5 hours or miserable overnight, the best lounge play for people without status, and the one thing that catches travelers out.
Details are verified against current sources before they go live. Anything we cannot confirm says so plainly instead of guessing. Every page carries a visible last reviewed date, and corrections from travelers who were just there jump the review queue. When something changes, a lounge closes, an access rule tightens, a terminal connection breaks, the page changes.
LayoverIndex is independent. No airport, airline or lounge operator pays for placement, and a bad layover airport gets called a bad layover airport.
