Why are airports uncomfortable?

Every airport I've been to is really uncomfortable. Trust me, I've been to LAX, Las Vegas, Okinawa, Tokyo, Osaka, Virginia, Boulder (CO), Denver (CO), Guam, 5 mariana islands, Washington, and more.

Every seat in at the gates always has rails. This makes it physically impossible to sleep on the seats, ruining my life for a great 5 hours.

The worst airport of all is Hawaii. They just let the humidity and heat in, and in cerntain parts the floor is always wet :/

Why can't they make rest rooms for Airports equipped with beds and couches? Sleeping on a plane is definitely not an option for me.

Do you have problems with airports?

The airport isnt burger king you cant always have it your way.

Never had too much problems with airports but then again I've never travelled much either. I've been through Airports in Romania, Italy, Spain and Egypt and never thought of the being uncomfortable.

Bring a pillow. Problem solved.

Airports are not a hotel. Unless there are weather delays , you shouldn't be in an airport more than a couple of hours. If you are tired enough, you will be able to sleep on a plane, I once slept from LAX, a landing and takeoff in Oakland and awoke 30 minutes outside of Ted Stevens in Anchorage Alaska. I have been in 53 or 54 different airports during my lifetime and that does not count visits to any military bases while I was flying while on active duty, if that is the case, then there is another 10 more.

Because a guy's just had his hand up your ass

I've never had a problem with any of the airports I've been to but I haven't been to one in almost four years anyway.

I wouldn't know, it's been the longest since I been at an airport.

Just take an A380 everywhere. They have beds on them.

Overaly crowded place

lots of different mixed groups(everyone a stranger)

The atrium in the Atlanta airport is pretty nice. Inside the concourse (after the security checkpoint) is pretty standard seating though

That's the idea. if I was stuck in an airport overnight, I'd doze off on the carpet. I'm not fuzzy. Heck, I've slept outside in the rain with only a BDU poncho to keep me dry.

edit: Of course, if there is a USO lounge nearby, I'd take advantage of it. That's only here in the US though.

They don't care unless you're loaded and pay for those exclusive lounge things. I hate airports though, and planes too for that matter

They have arm rests between the chairs because they don't want people like you turning an entire row of seats into their personal bed.

Sleep on the floor with a jacket for a pillow. I did that waiting for a flight from Melbourne to Sydney because we missed the flight straight from Perth to Sydney.

I don't know, they've always seemed fine to me. After all you are there traveling not sleeping. If you wanna sleep, get a hotel.

I just slouch way down and use a suitcase or two for a footrest. And so nobody walks off with my luggage.

I hate flying. F*cking detest it with a burning rage. I hate airports, i hate airport staff, i hate people at airports, i hate how a can of coke costs me 6,000 pounds. I hate everything. Take a ferry or a car or a train man.

It's not supposed to be as accommodating as a hotel, you know. But yeah, they probably should be.

It's not always travelling. I've had to go from Guam to Colorado, which meant we had to go through 5 airports and it took 3 days to arrive.

Waiting hours are ridiculous. I've had to stay at an airport for 7 hours before just to wait for the gate open and leave 2 hours later.

I love airports actually

because you need to go through security screenings every time you want to go out for a cigarette

O'Hare is actually pretty good in terms of comfort and I think even has a few areas where you can lodge overnight if need be. Lots of money is being spent right now to make O'Hare more inviting to people as well as making it bigger. Midway Airport on the other hand is lacking in sanitation, staff, space and really looks like the area in which it is surrounded by. Very Ghetto.

Top comment of the year.

I don't have problems with airports because I don't fly anywhere. Never been on a plane and really don't want to go on one.
