In this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I share my real-time experience during a 4-hour layover in Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). From navigating quick immigration to sampling authentic local food, I break down how to make the most of a short stopover in one of Asia’s busiest transit hubs.

You’ll hear tips on how to leave the airport, our experience of finding local street food, great viewpoints around Central Station and ideas on how much things cost. I also dive into a few other fantastic cities around the world for layovers, including:

✈️ Singapore Changi Airport – Nature, food, and luxury in one

✈️ Kuala Lumpur – Affordable and easy to get around

✈️ Amsterdam Schiphol Airport – Europe’s layover gem

✈️ London Heathrow – Historic sites just a train ride away

✈️ Reykjavik – Utilise Icelandic Air's free layover service with your airfare

Whether you’re a frequent flyer or planning your first big trip, these layover travel hacks will help you turn airport downtime into a mini-adventure.
