layover

The lack of stops or layovers doesn’t guarantee that your flight won’t be delayed or canceled but it does reduce the chances of either happening.

“I’m packing my patience,” said Jamie Haley, a marketing consultant based in Palm Springs, Calif. She’s planning to travel Friday to Toronto for a friend’s wedding, with a layover in Phoenix.

The Nobel committee caught Yaghi this morning on a layover in Frankfurt, as he traveled from San Francisco to Brussels, to tell him the news.

She was more than happy to plot out a Sunday plan that doesn’t involve “a layover sitting in a coffee shop in the Phoenix airport.”

According to Kobayashi’s family, she landed at LAX on Nov. 8 and missed her connecting flight to New York City because of a short layover.
