If you’ve ever been tempted to save a few quid in transit by spending the night in an airport, then check out this handy website, www.sleepinginairports.net.
The website provides travellers with the ultimate guide to sleeping in some of the world’s biggest airports.
Filled with real travellers’ experiences, the website, tells you where’s safe and whether it offers a good night’s sleep.
Bottom of the list is Paris Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris where travellers have complained about dirty bathrooms and being inappropriately propositioned.
One reviewer writes, “Want to live dangerously? Travel via CDG! Want to live even more dangerously? Order a meal at the filthy food-court underground at the old terminal.”
Might be worth splashing out £34 (£17pp) then for a airport hotel at Paris’s Charles de Gualle for safety.
Top of the list though is Singapore Changi airport, which actually caters for passengers in transit. The airport features comfy chairs, shower rooms, shops open 24/7, and rest areas. I passed through Singapore airport a few years ago and the reviews are spot on. The airport is spotless and encourages in-transit passengers to spend the night.
