Ever had your flight delayed due to events out of your control? Ever had to nap/sleep at an airport? …or at a train terminal? …or at a bus terminal? Ever had weary thoughts of falling asleep in a weird position in a public space? …embarrassing thoughts? lol (See photos below).
Well there could be some comfort relief heading your way …for a price. It’s already a catchy trend that’s happening overseas.
In Asia and Europe, there are companies designing series of compact, low cost accommodations for the travelers.
Some international airports like London’s Heathrow, Barcelona, Amsterdam, already have some of these cool modular pods scattered around their terminals.
These micro pods are meant to be installed at airports and at any other transit terminals that have the space for them. They are like a micro hotel room. Generally the micro pods could be rented by the hour and they are usually equipped with a compact bed/ sofa, a folding table, a chair, high-speed internet access, a sink and a commode.
The concept of these micro pods is to provide some privacy and brief rest for the ‘would-be’ weary traveller whose flight was delayed and are waiting for their next flight. It’s for the travelers who don’t want to be seen sleeping and drooling in public. All this privacy, within the airport terminals, and without having to go to a nearby hotel.
