This won't solve the issue of sleeping overnight in an airport, but Metronaps, which has opened up in the Vancouver airport, is a place to power nap between connections.

I've never come close to having to sleep in an airport, and hope I never will ... but I have bookmarked that site, just in case.

Nope, no, no sleeping in airports for me! You've seen some of the people roaming around, right? I'm too much of a control freak to be able to sleep anywhere but my bed. BUT, it's fascinating that there are people out there who will.....

Chanchow: I have to look at this on my other computer since I disallow Flash on my laptop. Wonder if it's like those things in Japan for people to sleep in. They look like giant cat carriers except they are for people to sleep in.

Groovyvic: You can check the rating for the airport you may be sleeping in!

Stringman: Always happy to disseminate helpful information here at "Herding Cats".

Black Feline: Wow, doesn't sound like you slept much if you were walking around.

Melissa: And, how did it rate?!

Spiderwalk: Yes, it would seem that some of the reviewers are quite experienced at sleeping in airports!

Brandy: I laid down in a quiet area on the way back from Hawaii. We had a layover in LA and with the time change I was just all disconfuckulated.

Lagato: I don't recall that you slept in the airport at that time, only that the plane ran out of food so they gave you extra drinks instead! You were indeed happy at arrival!
