Check Layover Connection Buffers After Terminal Transfer Time
A 55-minute layover is not 55 minutes of waiting. Subtract terminal transit time and the airline’s gate-closure cutoff from the scheduled layover to see how many real buffer minutes remain on your tightest connection.

Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the layover transfer ladder: your connection leg | scheduled layover minutes | terminal walk and transit minutes stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: Arriving at the gate two minutes before departure usually means the flight has already closed. After: the layover transfer ladder shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

Boundary and sources
Connection buffer arithmetic from user-entered times. Not airline minimum-connect-time validation or a travel guarantee; check carrier gate-close policies and airport transfer maps.
- Method: Most carriers close boarding doors 15 to 30 minutes before published departure time. At a 20-minute gate cutoff, that 60-minute gap becomes 40 minutes of real buffer.

Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this layover transfer ladder, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a layover transfer ladder. Return plain rows only: connection leg | scheduled layover minutes | terminal walk and transit minutes. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: connection leg | scheduled layover minutes | terminal walk and transit minutes. No AI response is executed as code.
