For many Nigerian travelers heading to the US, Canada, or Europe, layovers in cities like Doha, Dubai, Amsterdam, or Istanbul are a fact of life. But what if your layover is 6, 10, or even 20 hours long?
PraisenPam helps you turn transit time from a frustrating wait into a part of the adventure.
What Is a Layover?
A layover is the time you spend at an airport between connecting flights. While short layovers (under 3 hours) are routine, longer ones require strategy.
