About
The people behind LayoverIndex
LayoverIndex exists because most airport content online is either the airport's own marketing or a listicle written by someone who never left the search results page. We built the index we wanted at gate D6 at 2am.
Founders
Two travelers, one index
Fredrik Filipsson
Runs the index: the airport coverage, the research standards, and the rule that every page carries a verdict someone can act on.
Morten Andersen
Keeps the operation honest: verification, corrections, and making sure a guide says "to be confirmed" instead of guessing.
How we work
The rules every guide follows
Accuracy is the product. A layover guide that gets one lounge wrong has failed at its only job.
Every detail on every page is checked against current sources before it goes live: lounge names, hours, access rules, terminal connections, transit times. Anything we cannot verify is marked "to be confirmed" rather than guessed. Every page shows the date it was last reviewed, and when a traveler writes in with a correction, that page jumps the review queue. The contact form goes to us, not a support queue.
The index is independent. No airport, airline or lounge operator pays for placement or gets to soften a verdict. Some outbound links may earn a commission at no cost to you; that is disclosed on every page and it has never changed what a guide says. Bad layover airports get called bad layover airports.
The index covers the world's 300 most connected airports. 150 guides are live today and new ones are added weekly, the busiest hubs first. If your airport is missing, it is most likely in the queue; you can browse everything that is live or hear about new guides through Gate Notes.
