Passengers flying through Terminal 3 at Dubai International (DXB) now have more options to get some rest with the launch of the sleep ‘n fly lounge, offering a total of 27 pods and cabins.
Scandinavian-designed for comfort and style, DXB’s new sleep lounge features 20 state-of-the-art ‘igloo’ sleep pods, plus seven double cabins with pull-out children’s beds.
Passengers book online at sleep-n-fly.com. They are escorted to their Pod/Cabin by a member of staff and woken up at an agreed time.
Lounge facilities include a small waiting area for both arriving and departing guests, as well as a unisex changing room with a baby changing facility.
