A long layover used to mean boredom, but modern airports offer incredible amenities. Your goal is to turn that waiting time into an asset.
Productivity vs. Relaxation
Balance is key. If you have more than 5 hours, consider dedicating 2 hours to relaxation and 2 hours to a task.
8 Ways to Maximize Your Layover
1.Hit the Gym or Yoga Room: Many major hubs (like DXB or LHR) now have fitness centers.
2.Explore the City: If you have 6+ hours and no visa issues, use the airport express train for a quick tour.
3.Power Nap Pods: Book a quiet nap pod or hotel room inside the terminal.
