SUBMIT A REVIEW REVIEWS Tel Aviv - Ben Gurion Airport ..... sbarbell March, 2010 Be Patient, Be Calm, BE EARLY So I didn't spend the night, but those Flying out of Ben Gurion Should follow three simple rules Be Patient, Be Calm, BE EARLY. It's taken me hours to get through security and the check in process. The security staff are generally nice and professional. The security is so tight that they hand checked my luggage, I forgot to metion something in my luggage that others had gien to me. The item, travel brochures. I had a large number of them and they guessed correctly that some had been given to me. This may seem ridiculous, but think of how many people are afraid of travelling to Israel. mumbai - Mumbai ..... nick1975in January, 2010 Best place to relax Amazing airport after 5 yrs of renovation hardly any waiting. no irritating staff.quick service and immgration Salt Lake City - ..... Westzzzzz December, 2009 24 hour blaring CNN/Safety Warnings This was my first and probably last attempt at sleeping in this airport. MY flight was at 6:30 a.m. and I didn't want to get a hotel room nearby (50 for a few hours), so my friends suggested I sleep at the airport. I thought it would be a fun/cool new experience, but it turned out to be awful. They had CNN blaring 24/7, and after midnight ran the same 30 min. shows every hour, punctuated only by safety warnings about my luggage. CNN shows get really annoying about the third time around when it is 3:00 a.m. Also, there was no comfortable sleeping arrangements anywhere. They had the typical chairs with metal armrests, and I tried to sleep on the floor but it was too hard. I tossed and turned and tried different arrangements with my bag, but to no avail. The saving grace was that there was free wifi, which kept me entertained, but no sleep to be had. Also I didn't get hassled by anyone, ... Frankurt - ..... letitia February, 2010 24 hours almost a delight Missed my one-a-day flight and spent 24 hours wandering, snoozing and enjoying. The highlight for me was the full-fledged supermarket deep in the bowels of the lower levels (gives you a chance for a brisk walk). loaded up with variety, organic/bio and fresh choices. Everyone I asked for directions was helpful. Another high spot was the zurich insurance island of free internet, all Macs, just because and please no more than 20 minutes but if it's not busy no worries. the crinkly-eyed man handed out mints for the trip after asking me to sign the guestbook & put my name in for a free blackberry. Concourse C is the sleeper's choice with grey and black multiple seats lined up on each side without benefit of armrests-3 in a row and little tables at each end. also no ceiling and lights were missing on the window side. A & B have shops and no seating. if you like a man in uniform you'll love th... Munich - ..... stfp March, 2010 Very pleasant experience Slept for one night in the main area of Terminal 2 (Star Alliance). It's very large and has abundant seating; last flight leaves around 10pm and the first one in the morning is after 6am so for the whole night the airport is quiet; announcements like the boring one with abandoned luggage resume only at 5am. Seating is abundant and there were plenty of seats available; the seats are padded, reasonably soft and confortable and most important have no armrests so they're perfect for sleeping. I've had a very nice night here, the only time I was awaken was by the cleaning team which used some loud vacuum cleaners. Noone from security asked me any questions and there were quite a few other travellers sleeping as well. London - Gatwick ..... xyz February, 2010 A good 1st time experience of sleeping in an airport I had a early morning flight from Gatwick North terminal and I decided to pass the night on the airport. It was a good first time experience prompting me to do it again when I will be shortly visiting London next week. Best tip: Head straight to arrivals area of south terminal & climb on the mezzanine/1st floor. There are good leathered seats there, a 24 hours internet shop, costa cafe (24 hrs) just infront, a general shop(books/magazines/snacks/coldrinks etc) which remains half open after 1:00 AM, toilets nearby, power outlets for charging ur laptop, and the connecting bus service for North terminal is also not far away (in case your flight is departing from North). What else could you ask for a free night's stay? Katowice - Pyrzowice ..... takemeaway February, 2010 Nice place to wait for departure It's a very nice and safe place to spend a night. Pyrzowice airport is rather cosy, during night only handful of people are waiting for their friends and relatives to arrive and security is looking for your safety all the time walking nearby. We were sleeping on the view terrace (2nd floor) where you have to pay 1PLN to come in (changing machine is right by the entrance). There are many many 4-seat benches - 1 enough for 2 people to sleep. Two annoying issues are: the air conditioning which is rather noisy, but you can find few spots without the sounds; and the automatic lights which are turning on while somebody's walking and can easily wake you up. I really enjoyed sleeping on that airport and woke up really relaxed at 5am for awaited check-in to venice treviso :) oh, the toilets are clean, empty and free - right after the terrace pass. Seoul - Incheon ..... veriy December, 2009 Stress-free transit I was transiting from Jakarta going to Ulaan Baatar and my first leg arrived in incheon at 6 am in the morning in the main terminal. I was headed directly to concourse terminal to check in for my next flight. Be aware that once you're in the concourse, you won't be able to return to the main terminal. But don't worry, there are many comfortable place to sleep in the concourse terminal. To do this, find the way to 2nd floor. There you will find many good places to sleep with nice sleep couches (the type where you can find on swimming pool only this time with cushion). Or any seats near the boarding gate are sleeper friendly. Another good option for transit. And this airport claim that they do so. Sofia - Sofia International ..... Harpo June, 2009 Clean and bright Sofia International Airport has been totally cleaned up and renovated since last I was there. Around a corner on the left-hand side in the arrivals hall, is the Stae post office that will give you the best value exchange for your money. The place looks spink and span in comparison to when I was there before. There are car rental agencies in Arrivals. Madrid-Barajas - T4 ..... carl3748 February, 2010 Not bad night at the aero. We were flying out at 6:45 am to Barcelona, and because of bus and metro timing, we had to spend the night at the airport. It wasn't bad. There were about 10 of us flying to Barcelona, and about 6 flying to Lisbon out of the same terminal, and aside from us, there were a few bums near the vueling check-in area. Though it was empty, we were still able to get through security at about 1am. We had been traveling for about 2 hours by that point (buses, metros, walking) so we got to an area of T4, and all threw our stuff on the floor, and proceeded to have one of the most uncomfortable experiences. The airport is beautiful, very clean, but very cold if you don't have a blanket. Some of my friends got kicked out of an area that had cushioned seating. The benches are pretty horrible for spending the night. if you are able to find benches without armrests, snatch them up because it's hard to sle...   - Next Page >>
