Waiting at any airport for a transit or to get on a delayed flight sucks, especially if you have not had enough sleep…

To help passengers catch some needed sleep at the airport, Abu Dhabi airport has unveiled sleep pods in which passengers can sleep for £8 an hour…

And the beauty of it all is that, the ‘GoSleep’ pods are designed in such a way that they screen noise and light of the airport so you can have a peaceful sleep.

For just £8, you can enjoy a good sleep for an hour…Not bad at all!

Mail Online Reports;

Whether you are suffering from jetlag or hope to make the long wait for your next flight a dream, a pod-nap could be the answer to your bed-time prayers.

Travellers and tourists finding themselves stuck in the departure lounge at Abu Dhabi International Airport are now able to catch up on some shut-eye in a futuristic-looking ‘sleeping pod’.

Unveiled this week, the ‘GoSleep’ pod offers time away from noise, light and crowds of the airport and only costs £8 for one hour’s alone-time.

The ‘GoSleep’ feature a partial or fully enclosed sliding shade where customers can sit comfortably and enjoy a peaceful moment alone, or take a nap while entirely cocooned inside the pod.

Ten pods have been installed at Abu Dhabi International Airport with a further 35 on order for later this year.

The airport’s pods boasts wifi internet access, along with power points to charge electronic equipment.

Mohammed Al Bulooki, chief commercial officer at Abu Dhabi Airports Company, said: ‘The introduction of ‘GoSleep’ sleeping pods is another step towards exceeding customers’ expectations and delivering world-class levels of service.

‘Abu Dhabi Airports Company is proud that it is the first airport in the world to have secured an agreement to install the very latest passenger experience that embraces the latest technology.

‘The installment of these innovative new convertible chairs highlights ADAC’s commitment to using the latest technologies to improve airport facilities, ensuring that passengers have the best experience whilst visiting Abu Dhabi International Airport.’

Abu Dhabi International Airport  is one of the fastest growing airports in the world, currently undergoing a $6.8 billion facelift in the hopes that it will be able to compete with nearby Dubai airport.

‘Pod-style’ sleeping arrangements at busy airport terminals are by no means a new invention, and many international airports, including London’s Heathrow, offer sleeping pods which can be rented by the hour for busy travellers on the go.
