A plan for your trip

Prices are per trip and cover up to 4 travelers on the same itinerary. Extra travelers +$15 each; a third passport nationality or more +$25 each.

We take a limited number of orders each week so every plan gets a careful review.

How it works

1. 1

   Tell us your trip: dates, passports, budget, miles, and how you feel about layovers.

2. 2

   Pay securely by card.

3. 3

   We research it with official sources and our own data on Asia, Gulf and US hubs. AI tools help us research and draft; a person reviews and approves every plan.

4. 4

   Your plan arrives by email. One round of follow-up questions by email is included.

Everything happens by email. No calls, no meetings.

What's in your plan

• Our recommended routing plus 1–2 alternatives
• Connection times checked against published minimums
• Transit and entry notes for each passport, with official links and check dates
• A layover plan: lounges, showers, food, and whether you can leave the airport
• Booking tips, including miles and points options if you have them
• A pre-trip checklist

What we don't do

We never book or sell travel, hold fares, or file visa applications. You book directly with the airline or any seller you choose. Paid plans never contain affiliate links, and we take no commission on anything we recommend.

Disclaimer

Layover Compass provides travel planning advice only. We don't sell, book or arrange travel, we don't handle money for flights or hotels, and we aren't a travel agency. You book directly with airlines or any seller you choose. Schedules, fares, seat availability and entry, transit and visa rules change without notice. We check official sources on the date shown in your plan, but we can't guarantee they won't change or that an airline or border officer will agree with them. Your airline and the relevant government make the final decision. Please confirm every rule with official sources and your airline before you book and again before you travel. Our plans are general travel information, not legal or immigration advice, and we don't advise on US visa or immigration matters.

Refund policy

• Before we start: if we can't take your trip (out of scope or fully booked), we'll tell you within 1 business day and refund you in full.
• Changed your mind: a full refund if you cancel before we begin work, which is usually within 1 business day of payment.
• Late delivery: if your plan arrives after the promised turnaround, we refund the Rush fee, or $25 on a standard plan, and still deliver.
• After delivery: plans are custom work, so we don't refund delivered plans. If something in your plan is factually wrong as of the date we checked it, tell us within 14 days and we'll correct it. If we can't fix it, we'll refund the plan fee.
• Liability: our total liability for any plan is limited to the fee you paid for it. We're not responsible for fares, schedule changes, denied boarding or entry, or other costs of travel.
• Refunds go back to the original payment method within 10 business days.
