The Challenge

The Challenge

Travelers with layovers often waste hours at airports with no idea what's available around their gate. Flight information is scattered across different apps, and there's no way to connect with other travelers or discover nearby services.

  • No centralized platform for layover planning
  • Flight data scattered across multiple apps and screens
  • No way to discover gate-specific F&B and services
  • Travelers feel isolated during long layovers
The Solution

The Solution

We built Layovr β€” a platform that combines real-time flight tracking with location-based airport services and a gate community feature. Travelers can look up flights, discover nearby offers, and connect with other passengers in their gate area.

Technical Approach

Next.js frontend with Supabase for user data and real-time features. AviationStack API provides live flight data. Location-based services use geofencing to show relevant gate-area offerings. The community feature uses Supabase Realtime for instant messaging.

Key Takeaways

  • Aviation APIs require robust error handling β€” flight data can be delayed or inconsistent
  • Location-based features need careful UX to avoid overwhelming users with options
  • Supabase Realtime worked excellently for the community chat feature
