One thing no one wants to have to do is sleep in an airport. It’s uncomfortable and either means a delay in getting to your destination or home and no one wants that. But if you do get stuck in that most unfortunate of situations there are better and worse places for that to happen. And in North Carolina, there is only one airport you want to be stuck overnight in. According to a new study, there is only one sleep friendly North Carolina airport.
And it’s one that a lot of people complain about overall. But I’m sure that’s mainly due to the sheer volume of people who travel through it on a daily basis.
In the spirit of summer travel (and the seemingly inevitable delays), our friends at CPAP.com set out to determine the most – and least – sleep-friendly airports across North America. Their rankings are based on a variety of factors. These include accessibility to massage chairs, lounges, minute suites, benches without armrests, and more.
Because while relaxing in the airport isn’t the end goal of a trip it’s nice to do. Especially if you are stuck there for an extended period of time. (In which case I am simply unable to relax).
I do love getting to the airport early, getting through security, and relaxing at a bar with a glass of wine and perhaps a meal if it’s the right time. In fact, I often say that’s the best-tasting drink of vacation and I don’t care how much it costs it’s always worth it. That’s the moment I truly feel like I’m on vacation.
So in case you are traveling this summer (take me with you!) keep reading to find out the most sleep friendly North Carolina airport (s). These will be ranked worst to best for 7 NC airports. Thanks to our friends at CPAP.com for sharing their research with us. You can read the full study here.
