Modern feature at the Munich airport

We went to the airport in Munich and came across a unique feature of the airport. It is the first time we have seen this feature. They call them relax areas and they are located throughout areas of the airport.

We went and checked out the relax area. There were recliner type chairs in an area with artificial grass and live plants.

We sat in the loungers waiting for our flight and enjoyed a nice relaxing rest. They also provide free WiFi at the airport allowing us to catch up on emails etc.

There were also cubicles with work stations for people who wanted to do some computer or business work.

What was very innovative and interesting was the specific area for sleeping. They had designed sleeping quarters called “napcabs” which you could rent for a nap before your flight.

The relax areas are a great feature and reduce stress waiting for your next flight.
