- She pushed to sleep at an airport in a special bedroom that flies while he was at Dubai International Airport.
- The pod was comfortable enough, and I ended up sleeping for a few hours.
- Next time, I will get a nearby hotel for more money and fly early.
I do not sleep on planes-not even in a wet seat in business degree.
Therefore, during my 16 -hour trip from Chicago to the Maldives, I was more worried about the extent of exhausting me during his seven -hour stop in Dubai.
After those seven hours, I still have a five -hour flight to males in the Maldives, relax at this airport for another several hours, then jumped a water plane to the resort. This adds up to 30 hours of travel.
I realized that the only way I will make during this trip is if I have a way to get a good sleep.
Since I was a solo traveler, I didn’t want to try to nap at Dubai International Airport without anyone to see my luggage for seven hours in the middle of the night.
While searching online hotels at the airport or near it, I realized that I could rent a sleeping pod.
I would have been likely to be the hero of my stop: I can sleep without worrying about my property, and I will not have to leave the airport.
I was skeptical about the size of the pod, but I got some sleep
A few days before my trip, I went online and paid $ 123 to book a pod for five hours Sleep “n flying At the airport.
After my plane landed, it took me about 20 minutes to walk from the gateway to my sleep fly. Fortunately, it was only 10 minutes walk from the departure gate for my next trip.
The check -in it was easy and only three minutes took. As soon as I was accompanied by a prior reservation, it led me to a short passage to my pod.
Every pod was behind a different door.

When they slipped the door opened on my pod, my heart stopped. It looked very small.
I am not afraid-and I am only 5 feet and 3- But I am concerned that delivery or relaxation in that small cabin will be difficult.
After all, I am asleep side by my side to extend.
The pod was not spacious as I thought it would be.
Christine Hansen
Fortunately, I managed to fully extend my legs on the concrete bed.
The bed type reminded me of the back angle at the La-Z-Boy. The pillows were not thick just like the rank, but they felt close in terms of comfort.
The level was the corner of the back.

Although he did not feel like a bed, the pod was better than the economic seats on a plane or rows of seats in the climate area to the airport.
I also appreciate that Pod has smart storage areas that allowed me to take my luggage with me instead of leaving them without observation or in a wardrobe.
The pod and the surrounding area were also nice and calm. Employees spoke with low sounds, with the exception of one group that settles loudly, I was not upset with sounds or conversations.
I ended up spending less than five hours in the pod and got about two and a half hours of sleep.
Next time, I would like to plan to stop longer and pay a little more than a hotel
I will not choose a nap again, but I don’t regret doing this for a short stop.
I felt my stop for seven hours in short of what I expected-especially after I was affected by the period that would take it to get off the plane, walk to and from my gates, use the bathroom, and seize breakfast at the airport overlook ).
Although I have got some sleep, I prefer to get a rest in bed and may even do some tourist attractions in this new country.
Therefore, the next time I cross through Dubai, I plan to fly on an early day and reserve a night in a hotel near the airport.
If we look back, this only costs me about $ 153 (another $ 30) to stay for one night at a hotel lower mile from the airport. Better, the hotel stay comes with access to an outdoor swimming pool, as well as a free airport shuttle and a continental breakfast. (I had no additional dollars on breakfast at the airport!)
Although Sleep POD worked in a pinch, the hotel’s stay means that I can reach my final destination more comfortable and ready to start my vacation.
