English term or phrase: on the fly

Where to stay on the fly.

This sentence is about a hotel close to an airport, but I'm not able to rephrase it.

Any thoughts?

Selected answer:while traveling

Explanation:
Considering this is about a hotel close to an airport, I'm going to assume "on the fly" here is related to travel. Sometimes tourists and people traveling might be looking for a place to stay when they land, so I'm guessing what they mean is something akin to "where to stay while traveling".

Hope it helps!

Explanation:
The hotel might cater primarily to air passengers, but this could simply be a play on the word “fly” to attract travelers at large.
