About Layover Lore

Layover Lore is a travel journal for people who notice the in-between moments: the gate change, the midnight transfer, the port day nobody planned for.

We report on airlines, cruises, packing and destinations with a newspaper editor's eye — skeptical of hype, fond of detail, and always asking whether the advice survives a real trip.

Founded by two lifelong commuters between continents, Layover Lore publishes a handful of carefully edited pieces each week.
