Passengers use the airport sleeping pods to relax between aircraft. Passengers may generally be split into several groups: those who arrive, those who leave, and those who move from one place to another. In terms of the usage of airport infrastructure and facilities, the needs of these passengers differ. Airport facilities that can meet the needs of travelers, such as getting a fast nap, spa, and massage services, and free shower facilities offer a fun and enhanced airport experience. Passengers traveling with families want children’s play areas where children can spend time before boarding. Besides, business passengers might want a sleeping cabin with some of the facilities they can work in. airport sleeping pods
