Wikipedia
lay over
In scheduled transportation, a layover (also waypoint, way station, or connection) is a point where a vehicle stops, with passengers possibly changing vehicles. In public transit, this typically takes a few minutes at a trip terminal. For air travel, where layovers are longer, passengers will exit the vehicle and wait in the terminal, often to board another vehicle traveling elsewhere. A stopover is a longer form of layover, allowing time to leave the transport system for sightseeing or overnight accommodation.

lay over
A layover refers to a stop or break in a journey (usually in travel, primarily air travel) often in a transit point (like a different city or another country). During this period, passengers disembark the current vehicle they are on (usually a plane) and wait for a certain duration before boarding another vehicle to continue their journey to their final destination. The layover duration can range from less than an hour to even a few days.
