AIRPORTS<br />

Best and<br />

For sleep-deprived travelers, traveling by plane can be such<br />

a pain if you end up in the wrong airport en route to your final<br />

destination.<br />

There's the sight of constant stream of passengers hurrying<br />

and lining up for a queue. The seats are far from comfortable<br />

and are usually taken. There's a barrage of noise from<br />

behind. Movements and lights are constantly on. And the list<br />

goes on.<br />

Top 5<br />

airports for sleeping<br />

1<br />

Singapore<br />

A layover here is like visiting an amusement park with<br />

its five gardens, a fish spa and plenty of massage chairs<br />

around the passenger terminal. It also has a free movie<br />

theater and lots of space to lounge on while waiting for<br />

your flight. What's more, the city offers free transit tour<br />

if the passengers' schedule is not so tight.<br />

But some airports offer comfortable quiet zones, amazing<br />

amenities, freebies and treats and rows after rows of stores<br />

to window shop or buy the latest trends in the market.<br />

a bliss. It offers a quiet rest zone with reclining lounge<br />

chairs for a peaceful sleep. There's also free shower<br />

This airport has also lots of interesting stores to visit<br />

to keep you busy while waiting for your flight.<br />

Tokyo Haneda International Airport<br />

Extremely clean with plenty of interesting stores and<br />

restaurants to visit, a layover here could be fun. This<br />

Japanese airport also offers cool gadgets and<br />

electronic items that you can’t find anywhere else.<br />

It also offers a multitude of armrest-free benches for<br />

those who want to rest and even a hotel to nap in<br />

peacefully for those who want a private quiet time.<br />

And of course, there’s free WiFi.
