LayoverLens: Airport Activity Finder
Real-time discovery app that shows travelers hidden activities, restaurants, and services available during layovers based on airline, terminal, and time remaining.
The Problem
Layover passengers waste hours at gates or in airport lounges because they don't know what's actually accessible given their connection time, terminal location, and airline restrictions. Existing airport maps are static, outdated, and don't account for TSA re-screening requirements or terminal-hopping feasibility.
Target Audience
Frequent business travelers and international layover passengers (40+ million annual US connections) who have 2-6 hour layovers and want to maximize dead time instead of sitting at gates.
Why Now?
Airport digital services are rapidly modernizing (digital boarding passes, mobile check-in), and travelers increasingly use phones for real-time decisions. Cursor/Bolt make building real-time location features viable for solo builders.
What's Missing
Existing airport and travel apps treat layovers as dead time rather than opportunities. No solution currently factors in security re-screening timelines and terminal proximity when recommending activities during connections.
