Check whether a layover gives enough time between connecting flights.
The total time needed is the airline's minimum connection time plus realistic walking between gates. Comparing that against the scheduled layover shows how much slack you actually have, if any. Tight connections are a top cause of missed flights, so checking spare minutes before booking avoids a stressful and possibly expensive missed leg.
