Always confirm you have enough time between flights. Short layovers risk missed connections, while very long ones may waste hours at the airport waiting.

Immigration, security, or re-checking luggage may be required. Keep passport and other documents handy so you don't fumble when time is tight.

Delays or lost luggage can leave you stranded. Keep chargers, snacks, medicines, and some clothes in your cabin bag for the time between flights.
