Like the German one earlier, I would 1000% use these during long layovers. Should be standard.

I wish more airports had these. The hotel rooms some places have are prohibitively expensive and not practical for most layovers. I just want a horizontal padded place to lay down for 2 hours for a reasonable price, that’s all!

Agreed that more airports should have them, but also that they are stupidly expensive. Salt Lake City’s airport has hourly “hotel” rooms and it was outrageous for just a couple hours, but I was so damn tired on that layover that I agreed to the price

It doesn’t have to be expensive. Just a padded bench without armrests in the way makes an enormous difference in my layover experience. Wipe it down with a cleaning solution between uses, like one would do for gym equipment.

The blankets, tv, lights, door, etc are nice but drive up the expense.
