Methodology

How we check the rules

Official sources only

We cite only official sources for rules: government immigration sites, official e-visa portals, and airport and airline pages.

Secondary sources such as forums, blogs and news articles are leads that tell us where to look. They are never citations.

Unconfirmed items are labeled

Anything we couldn't confirm on an official page is labeled check with your airline instead of being stated as fact.

Dated and rechecked

Every page shows a last-checked date. Rule pages are rechecked at least every 90 days.

Connection times

Minimum connection times are either cited to an official source or clearly labeled as our own guidance.

Independent rankings

Hub rankings are editorial. Affiliate links never change them.

Corrections

Spotted something out of date? Email hello@layovercompass.com and we'll recheck it.

Paid Route Desk plans use the same sourcing rules, and they never include affiliate links.
