Calculate usable time, not scheduled layover
Subtract deplaning, border formalities, transport and the time you need to be back.
Check entry permission
Transit status does not automatically permit entry into the country.
Keep the return conservative
Traffic, rail problems and security queues can erase a generous-looking layover.
Airport amenities may be the better choice
Lounges, rest zones and a quiet meal can be lower stress than a rushed excursion.
