UAE. Dubai International Airport has launched a ‘sleep ‘n fly’ lounge in Terminal 3 which offers 27 pods and cabins.
The lounge, which is located close to Gate A1 in Concourse A, features a Scandinavian design which the airport said was inspired by nature. It includes 20 ‘igloo’ style sleep pods as well as seven premium double cabins with pull-out children’s beds.
Travellers can visit for a one-hour power nap or spend an entire night, or any length of time in between, according to the airport.
Dubai Airports Commercial Group Executive Vice President Eugene Barry said: “The opening of sleep ‘n fly expands Dubai International’s existing range of rest and relaxation options, and is the latest in a line of personalised and engaging products we are rolling out to cater to the evolving needs of global travellers.”
Onground Hospitality General Manager Geoffrey Carrier commented: “After operating dedicated airport sleep lounges for several years, we have taken our unique concept to a new level at Dubai International. Having launched our new flagship sleep ’n fly lounge, we are very excited to be part of the amazing [Dubai International] experience, and we look forward to offering some much-needed rest to the ever-growing number of passengers passing through the airport.”
Pods and cabins can be reserved via www.sleep-n-fly.com and the airport said members of Priority Pass and LoungeKey were welcome.
“Collinson Group is delighted to partner with sleep ’n fly and provide new options for Priority Pass, Priority Pass Select, and LoungeKey customers travelling through Dubai International,” said Collinson Group Director Justin Banon. “We continue to identify new options for travellers in airport terminals worldwide and the sleep pods provide a unique way to rest and unwind while waiting for their flight.”
