Layover tips
Expert tips for foodie travellers during a layover
Shortlist before you fly
Check which restaurants are in your arrival or departure terminal, then pick one backup option in case queues are longer than expected.
Stay close to your gate
For connections under two hours, choose food options within a short walk of the gate so the meal does not compete with boarding time.
Use reviews as a tie-breaker
When a terminal has several good choices, compare recent restaurant ratings and photos to spot the places worth a proper layover meal.
Keep bags out of the way
Travelling lighter makes it easier to move between terminals, sit comfortably and enjoy the airport food scene without dragging luggage around.
