  • Budapest - Ferihegy ..... kuliodpd August, 2010
    Nice and quiet, friendly people
    Terminal 2B - Non-Schengen flights Caf Franz (arrivals floor) closes around 00.00, so me and my friend slept on its sofas, behind the stairs that connect the departures and the arrivals floors. This place was unofficially recommended by a guy at the information desk! We've slept for 6 hours and I have even dreamt (with earplugs)! When the Caf opened, at (I guess, can't remember exactly) 6.30 a.m., the barmaid told us 'Good morning!'. Clean and quiet, maybe my best sleepinginairport experience to date.

  • Kuala Lumpur - KLIA ..... kosmos January, 2010
    KLIA and LCCT are different!
    Please be informed that KiwiPete was definitely in KLs Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) not KLIA proper which is a separate building. You get what you pay for Petey. Both have their own pros and cons.

  • Stockholm - Arlanda ..... Svidd August, 2010
    Heaven for Airport Sleepers
    Arlanda is like heaven for airport sleepers. The negative reviews must be outdated. The airport is open 24 hours and just about every section of the airport I passed through had great seats for sleeping. I'd recommend the 'Sky City' section of the airport as the best place to sleep--quiet, clean, spacious, central. The only problem was that it filled up and many people had to sleep on the floor. The lobby you end up in after arrival and going through customs (also open 24 hours) also has lots of sleep-worthy seating. The departure gates (I don't know if they're 24 hours) had some of the best-looking sleeping seats I've ever seen. Even the luggage pickup area had ideal seats for sleeping. Food was not available 24 hours. Most food places closed at about 23:00 and there was a 7-11 that I think closed at midnight.

  • Tbilisi - ..... strzkrzysiek July, 2010
    Best airport I've been to so far
    I came to Tbilisi late in the night in the night from Kiev. The airport is new built. Just after my arrival one of the guards noticed that I was going to sleep and said that it was possible to sleep on artificial grass under the escalator. It was warm and comfortable. No one disturbed us. There is only one downside. Between 2 and 4 AM there is really huge traffic, so you'll get probably awakened. There is 24h shop, information and exchange office.

  • Birmingham - Birmingham International ..... realessence August, 2010
    Unexpected but pleasant
    I didn't plan to stay the night, but my flight was very delayed (and eventually cancelled) and I ended up spending 12 hours there. The boarding area was large, brightly lit, with plenty of waiting seats and computers with Internet access (no free WI-FI though). Most shops were closed some time after midnight, except for the duty free shopping store and a pub called Yates' Bar, which served drinks and food all night. There were a few reclining armchairs to sleep on, but other chairs were good enough for me. Even though most of them had armrests, it was possible to find two seats next to each other without one on which you could lie and stretch your legs a bit. However, I don't think that they would normally let anyone get in this area after the last flight. That night there were several fire alarm testing a couple of times, which was kind of disturbing. But if you're really looking for fr...

  • London - Heathrow ..... realessence August, 2010
    Not a bad experience
    We had a flight early in the morning and were too cheap to stay at a proper hostel so we decided to spend the night at Heathrow Airport. At first, we planned to stay at Terminal 5, which was the newest and thus we assumed, should be the cleanest, but by the time we arrived there, the train service between Terminal 3 and Terminal 5 had already stopped, so we had to stay at Terminal 3 instead. It wasn't bad actually. The light was on all through the night, so it didn't feel spooky at all. It was rather safe, too. After the flights were all gone, the place was pretty quiet: no microphone announcements and very few noises from the cleaners. There was also a dozen of people who were there for the same reason. Everyone was minding their own business and respectful by keeping the voice level minimum. We slept on the chairs in front of Nero Cafe. Most of the chairs didn't have cushions and they ...

  • Bangkok - Suvarnabhumi ..... Zpete January, 2010
    Damn good airport
    As a regular user of Swampy, the review I just read is not representative of BKK. May have been a very long time back but not now. All the seats on the main concourses are upholstered and if one finds a quiet spot, a good kip will entail. The Magic Food Point is one of the best food places amongst many SEA city airports, cheap as, 24/7. Only brickbat I have, is the long trek to gates at times. I often arrive late and fly out early. No problems sleeping. WIFI is there, but you need to search for a hotspot, mine is near phone on 2nd floor, usually a socket to plug into. I always carry a double adapter to share a socket if needed.

  • Budapest - Budapest Ferigehy Terminal 1 ..... Terryle August, 2010
    My best airport night!
    Yep, that was a great night, probably the best airport night! Slept at the check-in counters at the very comfortable benches (soft without handrails). Everything quiet, no announcements, no disturbing people, no strong lights. I loved it and I slept for about 6 hours what's pretty good, I think. And it was possible to catch the free wifi at the laptop (the only minor mistake was that there were no plugs where to recharge the battery :) But I can really recommend this airport. It was a really good night.

  • Keflavik - ..... -mg- April, 2010
    Gestapo-like security officers
    Don't even try to think about spending a night in that airport. Unlike in the rest of civilized world, you'll be constantly waken up by rude, gestapo-like security idiots who can only speak 'the hotel is in downtown' in english.

  • sanaa - sah ..... debbieobad July, 2010
    Kind people, Poor country
    For everyone complaining about their yemen airport experience you have to remember this is a third world country. The people of Yemen consist mainly of poor hardworking men trying to make a dollar to feed their families. While the airport may not be one of the greatest I have seen the people are kind,courteous,and the airport was clean. Also, Sanaa is in the process of opening a new airport which will be as modern as any other. I believe it is slated to open next year. For everyone complaining about the people and airport feel blessed you were not born in to this kind of poverty and dig alittle deeper in your pockets to tip them and stop complaining.
