Use cases

Solution 1: Sleeping on airport seats and terminal ﬂoors
Most airport transit passengers may choose to spend their time waiting for their connecting
ﬂight on airport seats or even the terminal ﬂoor, depending on the facilities open to them at the
airport. Although this is clearly the cheapest option, it is not the optimal choice for sleeping (or
even relaxing) and entertaining. Airport Wi-Fi is often unreliable and there is the constant need
to be aware of one’s belongings and luggage. There is no privacy and the waiting experience can
prove to be exhausting for the passengers.

Solution 2: Booking a hotel
Depending on duration of the wait for a connecting ﬂight, some airport transit passengers choose
to book a night in a hotel. Since a full night is often not required before the passenger’s connecting
ﬂight is due to leave, this is often not a cost-effective option. Besides, hotel rooms are often quite
some distance from the boarding gates and the whole check-in/check-out process can be time
consuming. Passengers want a quick, easy and cost-effective way to spend just for a few hours.
Hotels do not fulfll these criteria, which is why so many passengers choose the airport ﬂoor or
terminal ﬂoor to rest instead.

Solution 3: Booking airport Lounge
Airport lounges offer a wide range of comfortable features that are not accessible to those in the
airport terminal itself, such as more comfortable seating, quieter environments and often better
access to customer service representatives. Other accommodations may include private meeting
rooms, telephones, Wi-Fi access and other business services, along with provisions to enhance
passenger comfort, such as free drinks, snacks, periodicals and showers. Though all these are
quite expensive and in most cases not accessible to transit passengers.

Solution 4: The ﬂedgling sleeping pod market
Very gradually, airports are starting to realize that there is a gap in the market that needs to be
flled and that airport transit passengers are willing to pay for sleeping pod services. As a result,
some sleeping pods have already established a minor presence at various airports throughout
the world.

Solution 5: New age “book room by the hour” app’s
Recently, a number of new apps have entered the market, offering users a number of hours in a
hotel room. Of course, much like booking a hotel room, this comes with the problems of having
to leave the airport, travel, check-in, and then head back to the airport in time to reach your
ﬂight. When the time and effort is looked at for this option, the realistic approach is that those
who would use a hotel room are much more likely to do so for a whole night given the effort and
expense.
