Sleeping in the Airport like Tom Hanks

The movie terminal plays out everyone’s worst travel nightmares. What if you can’t get through customs? What if you are stuck in an airport for a long time? What if you lost your money and you have to find a way to eat? What if you get arrested for your medication that is legal in your country but not in another country?

 

If you get stuck in the airport, hopefully its only for a short layover, this info graphic gives great advice on to sleeping in the airport.

Here are some of the things I do to rest, sleep or lay down in the airport:

1- Find an area near an electrical outlet so I can rest and charge at the same time.

2- Set an alarm to check the status of your flight

3- Take a pillow or neck pillow so you will be more comfortable

 

Do you have a travel nightmare? Please share.
