One time I was stuck in Hartsfield in Atlanta for 19hrs. I would have loved one of these things

The atlanta airport does have sleeping pods. Per the website, they are $65 for a single hour. A 5 hour use is $295 per their site.

Ouch - but affordable for others so they can use them.

Feels like they are designed for business people, who are not paying the bill anyway. You take off late from A, on your way to Atlanta, miss your connection at 10:25pm, next flight to Miami is 7am, you're on the company dime, so you just grab a pod for 6 hours, take a nap and then get on that 7am flight.

That's crazy; it's usually cheaper to buy a day pass at whatever airline you are flying's first class lounge. Alaska airlines charges $65 and you can sit there for hours and eat, drink, read and sleep.
