    Can You Leave The Airport During A Layover?

    / Comments Off on Can You Leave The Airport During A Layover?

    The age old question “I have a long layover, can I leave the airport?”.  Neither of us have ever had a layover long enough where we left the airport for let’s say 6-10 hours in length before our next flight and ventured out to explore nearby before catching the next flight! Jenn and Ryan did a layover in Iceland on their honeymoon but it was built into their itinerary. It scares us a little but also fascinates us – a mini-trip within a trip if you are able to!  Exciting!
