I have a 4 hour layover in the heathrow from sfo. Then going to prague. Can I leave security and meet up with a friend on the other side of security for an hour or two and make it back through easily?

I have a layover for 15 hours in Frankfurt Germany, I am a US citizen, can I leave the airport without getting a visa. What is required for me to leave and return the same day?

Hello,

I purchased a flight from Korea to US with a layover in Japan from United Airlines. But when I looked closer at the itinerary the flight from Korea to Japan is provided by a different airline but from Japan to US its provided by United even though I purchased the entire flight from one airline.

Which airline am I suppose to contact in order for me to know if I may travel outside the airport in Japan?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi,

I have a 15 hour overnight layover in Moscow’s Domodedovo International Airport travelling from Dubai to Kiev, Ukraine. I’ll arrive at 11pm and leave at 2pm the next day.

I am an Australian citizen, and have a visa to travel into Ukraine, but I am wondering if it will be worth it to try and leave the airport (for some fresh air at least)..
and if so, will I need a visa for the couple of hours? and is there a massive risk in trying to catch some shut-eye in the airport?

Also this website is amazing!

Lovely article! Just curious — I have a 18 hour layover in Heathrow on my way from New Delhi to New York (I have a US visa).

I can’t seem to figure out whether I can exit the airport, have a look at the city — and be right back for my flight without a visa?

Thanks!

I would first check with your airline to make sure that your ticket allows you to leave the transit area.
