How it is calculated
Layover = next departure − arrival, adding 24 hours when the departure is on the next day (earlier clock time).
Example
Inputs: First flight arrival = 14:20, Connecting flight departure = 17:05, Minimum connection time = 60 min. Result: Layover: 2:45 h:mm; In minutes: 165 min; Against the minimum: Meets minimum.
Limits and caveats
- Works for waits under 24 hours at one airport, in its local time.
- Each airport and airline sets its own minimum connection time, so enter theirs.
Questions about this tool
What is the minimum connection time?
The shortest gap an airline accepts between flights, often 45 to 90 minutes and longer between terminals.
What if the second flight leaves after midnight?
The tool detects an earlier departure clock time and adds a day automatically.
Do I need a transit visa?
It depends on your nationality, the country and whether you leave the airport. Check the country and airline rules.
