With peak summer travel season in full swing, recent research has revealed that a staggering 62% of British passengers find airports stressful and 48% of U.S. travellers feel most anxious while flying with layovers continuing to be a major frustration. Now, YOTELAIR is stepping in with a fresh fix - The Slayover.
The Slayover package - available at YOTELAIR hotels at airports in London, Paris, Istanbul and Singapore - includes layover rescue kits, dedicated concierges and flexible cabin stays, designed to help frazzled flyers rest, reset or re-energise before take-off or after landing. Alongside YOTELAIR’s signature perks - like terminal-side locations, smart amenities, and flexible hourly cabin bookings (starting at just four hours) - guests can now pick their perfect Slayover Kit, designed to tackle whatever travel throws their way. From shaking off the terminal chaos, to sneaking in a pre-flight nap, or rallying for round two after a long-haul flight, YOTELAIR has a kit for that:
- Moment of pause kit – designed for fast unwinding, this kit includes a meditation and stretch guide, pillow sprays, and herbal teas for calm and clarity
- Rest & reset kit – ideal before a long-haul flight, it features an eye mask, sleep sounds, electrolyte sachets and vitamin gummies to support immunity while you rest
- Power up kit – for a quick pick-me-up, this energising kit includes protein balls, mood boosting playlist, hydrating face mask, resistance bands for natural energy
Additionally, the introduction of Slayover Concierges in each hotel location will see a dedicated YOTELAIR team member help guests choose the right kit based on flight schedules and destinations, while also offering insider tips on navigating the airport like a pro.
Olivia Donnan, Vice President, Brand at YOTEL comments: “It’s clear travellers want to do layovers differently. We’ve seen day-use hotel bookings up 5.2% year-on-year at all YOTELAIR properties globally showing a growing demand for flexible, private spaces during transit to combat travel limbo. Whether it’s a long-layover, late land or early departure, Slayover is our way of giving guests an opportunity to rest, to recharge and to take back control while supporting their wellbeing”.
She continues: “YOTELAIR was where our journey began back in 2007, with our very first hotel in London Gatwick Airport, so now almost twenty years on, we’re thrilled to be continuing to innovate the airport experience globally.”
In an age where time is more valuable than ever, YOTELAIR is offering a smarter, more flexible alternative to traditional layovers. Whether you’re arriving late, departing early, or navigating a long layover, YOTELAIR is designed to cater to every type of traveller, turning stopovers into something worth looking forward to.
Slayover kits will be available to purchase at YOTELAIR hotels from £15 / €17 / S$30 at check-in with the on-site Slayover Concierge or can be added at the point of booking YOTELAIR Istanbul Airport or YOTELAIR Singapore Changi Airport when booking on yotel.com.
