How Many Layovers? (Hard Mode)
How well do you know the flight route maps of various airports? I've randomly generated 50 pairs of airports, if you took the flight route with the minimum # of layovers, how many layovers would you need to get between the two airports? Have Fun!
If the airport isn't the main airport for the city, that will be mentioned.
Using flightconnections.com, data is accurate as of October 2025. Seasonal flights included.
Generated using https://www.terrific.tools/randomizer/random-airport-generator
