Entertainment Marathon:<\/b> Airport Wi-Fi networks can be spotty.

If you have a layover in Mexico City, you have time for authentic street tacos; if you stop in Dubai on the way to Sydney, the Burj Khalifa is a short metro ride away; or if you pass through Casablanca, a mint tea in the medina will recharge your batteries. <i data-path-to-node=\"41,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"357\">Note:<\/i> Make sure to check transit visa requirements before leaving.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"41,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"41,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Pamper Yourself in VIP Lounges:<\/b> You don&#8217;t need to fly first class to access them.

Plan to be back at the security checkpoint at least 2 hours before your next flight.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"54\">The Luggage Dilemma<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"55\">Confirm with your airline at the departure desk if your checked bags go directly to your final destination or if you must collect and recheck them during the layover.
