How flight connections and layovers really work: the complete guide to MCT, baggage, immigration, and self-transfer

Almost every cheap international flight has a connection, and that is exactly where trips fall apart. Travelers confuse layovers with stopovers, ignore the minimum connection time, find out too late that they needed a transit visa, and buy self-transfer tickets without grasping the risk. This guide breaks down every stage of a connection: when your bag travels on its own, when you clear immigration, how much time is safe between flights, and what to do when the first flight is delayed and the second one leaves without you.
