How About A Nap In Atlanta Airport's New 'Minute Suites'?
We're admittedly not fans of airport sleeping, but the new Minute Suites at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport are the closest we've come to changing our minds. They've located in Concourse B, they're 7 feet by 8 feet, and they're clean. They're also isolated and have wifi, adding up to the best situation you can reasonably expect at an airport.
Their promo materials sound a little New Agey—"a wellness-based solution to the stress and fatigue caused by air travel," "'napware' audio program"—but the perks seem to be solid enough. Each suite has a daybed with fresh blankets and pillow covers. There's an HDTV that can stream television programs, flight statistics, or the Internet. You can also access the Internet via the suite wifi or a workstation. Imagine a layover plus a canceled flight, and now imagine not having to walk to the gate every 20 minutes because you can check the flight status from a comfortable sofa. You begin to get a sense of their business plan.
You can reserve suites through the reservation page and pay by credit card. The rate per suite is $30 for the first hour—which is the minimum—and $7.50 for every 15 minutes after that. There's a 25% discount that kicks in after 8 hours, but by then you should be looking at a hotel anyway (Airport Hotel Guru confirms that the hotel selections around ATL are plentiful). Right now the website drop-down menu only lists ATL for reservations. But the fact that they even have a drop-down menu at all is a hint that more expansions are planned.
