These Futuristic Nap Pods With Netflix Could Be Coming To Airports Soon
With many airports now employing “nap police” to wake passengers snoozing by their gates, it’s getting harder to make it through long layovers without shelling out for a pricy hotel room.
Enter Airpods. No, not the ones you put in your ears. These are futuristic sleep stations that let weary passengers tune out the chaos of the airport and tune in to a good nap…or Netflix.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
Airpods look a bit like futuristic eggs. They’re just big enough for an adult to sit up and lie down in, and come with oodles of features. You can charge your device, set a check-in alarm, get flight info, work on your laptop, watch Netflix, and use the pod’s free WiFi to browse or download.
The pods also feature noise-canceling technology to help you ignore the fact that you’re snuggled up in the middle of a busy terminal, and the pods are safe and secure against intruders.
The pods are still in beta for the moment, and will be rolling out in Europe this year before making their way stateside.
