AUH Sleeping Pods - very cool

[markis10]

Well hopefully you're at Abu Dhabi International Airport and can flop into one of their new "GoSleep" 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.

Good idea in theory, but I can just imagine them being dirty, smelly and claustrophobic to sleep inside!

Interesting concept, not sure that I would get much sleep though.

Oops sorry didn't see Markis had already posted this. Thanks for merging.

I didn't realise you could slide the 'shade' down when occupying the chair, I wouldn't want to be claustrophobic.
