Landed hours before check-in? Plan the gap

Red-eye lands at 6:40 AM, check-in is at 3 PM. Meanwhile Travel plans the hours in between so you're not sitting in a lobby with your bags.

What you get

• When you'll reach your hotel, with the real transit route from the airport
• A gentle plan close to where you're staying, with places open at that hour: breakfast first, then easy walks and sights
• Where to shower and recharge: lounges, day-use rooms, and local options like bathhouses
• Luggage storage nearby if your hotel can't hold bags
