Abu Dhabi Airport unveils new 'sleeping pods'


Abu Dhabi International Airport has unveiled their new ‘sleeping pods'.

The pods are essentially chairs that convert into private flat beds. There have been 10 pods installed in Terminal 1 and 3, with an extra 35 due to be installed later this year. The chairs include a sliding shade that the airport says will isolate the passenger from noise, light and crowds. They will soon be upgraded to include internet access and secure storage for luggage and valuables. Travellers will also be able to charge their electronic devices on the chair.

Sleep areas are already available at some airports around the world, including Moscow Airport which is home to the "Sleepbox" - a futuristic cabin that includes bunk beds, a TV, Wi-Fi connections and mood lighting.
