Write For Layovertips
Write for LayoverTips
LayoverTips is built on the knowledge of people who actually travel — frequently, in real airports, with real bags and real time constraints. If that's you, we want to hear from you.
What we publish
We cover everything that happens between flights: making the most of airport amenities, getting out of the terminal when you have enough time, finding the best lounges and food, surviving the long ones, and turning dead hours into something worth having.
Our best content is specific. Not "how to survive a layover" — but "what to do with 6 hours in Dubai Terminal 3" or "the only airport in North America where the transit hotel is actually worth it."
What we're looking for
- First-person travel experiences with concrete, useful detail
- Airport and city guides written by people who've actually been there
- Practical hacks: lounge access, transit visa rules, sleeping spots, fast security lanes
- Anything that makes a layover feel less like lost time
What we're not looking for
- Generic travel tips that could apply to any trip
- Content written from secondary research only
- Pure listicles with no original perspective
- Promotional content for airlines, airports, or travel products
Submission guidelines
- Length: 800–1,500 words for guides; 400–700 for shorter tips pieces
- Voice: conversational, specific, first-person welcome
- Include: at least one personal experience or observation; practical information (hours, costs, transit times)
- Photos: original photos preferred, minimum 1200px wide
- Format: Send a brief pitch (2–3 sentences) before writing the full piece
