If you're going to get stuck at an airport because of a flight delay or layover, you had better hope it's in Vancouver, at least that's what many travellers believe.

Vancouver International Airport was rated by visitors to a travel website dedicated to sleeping in airports as the best place to catch a nap while waiting for a flight in North America.

The website collected travellers' opinions and votes about where the best airports for sleeping are located.
The responses were collected between March and September last year.

"I work at YVR and can say from experience that there are very few airports that are this nice to crash in," one reviewer wrote on the website.
"I've slept in many airports, and Vancouver has to be at the top. Take the advice of others and head for the very end of the U.S. departures area, it's dead silent at night and they often dim the lights down there."

It was also noted the airport has an adjoining hotel where for a fee you can take a shower and enjoy other amenities.
Two other Canadian airports made the list: Montreal's Trudeau International placed sixth, while Toronto's Pearson Airport was in eighth place.

Here are the Top 9 airports for napping:
1. Vancouver Int.
2. San Francisco Int.
3. Seattle Int.
4. Detroit Metropolitan Airport
5. Portland Int.
6. Montreal's Trudeau Int.
7. Denver Int.
8. Toronto's Pearson Int.
9. Charlotte-Douglas Int. (North Carolina)

Not really news. But, nice to see Vancouver tops the list in various categories.
(best in N.America, not the world - Singapore is #1 in the world)

Interesting, ill be sure to take a nap at YVR in 3 days when going to Cancun:fullofwin:

[shenmecar]

[tool001]

get tazzed??? by stupid cock suckers rcmp officers . who later spend taxpayer money to defend themselfs

[J____]

it's the nicest to take a nap because there's a fairmont right in the airport. lol

[LiquidTurbo]

Basically any airport is good for sleeping. All it really needs is a seat.

I've been to Denver's airport and I wouldn't exactly call that the most comfortable airport to sleep in, since it's so incredibly busy.

Another retardedly useless article.

I mean, you would have to agree an airport like the one in Anchorage Alaska must be pretty good to sleep in, since there's barely anyone around!

1. Pay for parking

[Manic!]

So that's what all the airport taxes are going to.

[JesseBlue]

Just ignore the tasing comment. It has nothing to do with this thread.

Thats the key. So many airports are so damn packed, its hard to even find a seat let alone a few seats open to stretch out like a boss.

Tried sleeping overnight in HKG, most terrible experience ever.

[FerrariEnzo]

the best spot at YVR, US departure side right at the end... haha no one is usually there so plenty of seats to stretch out your legs...

[StylinRed]

sure it does what do you think your alarm clock is? ;) "Wake The Fuck Up bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

wouldn't want to miss that flight

I once slept on the floor at the foot of a check-in counter at Barcelona's airport overnight. Very uncomfortable experience to say the least

[Meowjin]

I had a good nap in HCM city airport.

why would anyone lie flat on airport seats...?

your face will probably be in contact with someone who just farted on the seat. same goes for empty seats in an airplane, bus, etc.

Ugh. Thanks for that, Atticus.

I was just thinking the same thing. The seats are hard and uncomfortable, floor is hard, cold, dirty looking, and uncomfortable, super busy, super noisy, and really unwelcoming.

Really? I crashed there a few years back for a few hours. Wasn't that bad of an experience. Mind you, we landed at something like 2am and the airport was absolutely deserted.

why would anyone get pink eye from sleeping on airport seats? Unless the people farting took off their pants and then you went in right after and smothered your eyes into the cushions.

that's like saying you'll get HIV from mosquito bites.

[hotjoint]

great

[!Yaminashi]

Nap meet at YVR?

[optiblue]

doesn't suprise me... I've been to a handful of airports and most of them look like they were built in the 80's or earlier. When I went to Hawaii, the concept of having the airport integrated with the outside atmosphere was awesome until I realized that the joining passages were not AC'd!!!

+1.

Frankfurt is by far, the worst airport to take a nap in. The airline lounges are no exception neither.

[Honyoung]

best airport to propose at also?

Id have to disagree..The Lufthansa First lounge is exceptional and the Tower lounge is acceptable. As for the other lounges located throughout frankfurt airport, I cannot comment.

[Jegz]

RS sleepover at YVR!

[metal]

+1 for Frankfurt being terrible to rest in. I think its YVRs huge open spaces, with the carpet and decent seating that make it great to lay down.
