Recreation at Airports

Air travel is gaining more and more popularity as it gets affordable. When we think of air travel, we associate it with the place we’re going to travel to via flight. Most of us don’t appreciate the airport itself as an attraction or a place of recreation. Regardless, airports around the world are progressively becoming fun places that people enjoy and not just come to board an airplane.  Airports ease the anxieties accompanying travel and entertain us while we’re waiting for our flight.

Airlines conventionally have three travel classes based on the seating arrangements and luxuries available, to cater to the needs of different classes of people. These are First Class, Business Class, and Economy Class.

• First Class is generally the most expensive and has the most luxurious facilities available.
• Business Class is also called Executive Class and is commonly purchased by business travellers. It is also of high-class quality.
• Premium Economy is of a marginally higher class than that of Economy. Seating arrangement is more distanced apart.

Economy Class is also known as Travel Class and is mostly used by travellers on vacations. It has basic accommodation facilities.

Airport restaurants and food courts generally offer regional cuisines for passengers allowing them to get a feel of the local food and culture without having to leave the airport. Some airports have hotels attached to the building. Airport hotels have become popular due to their convenience for passengers’ lodging and easy accessibility to the terminal. Features in airports like movies, bowling, butterfly gardens, skating rinks, libraries, paintings, and virtual reality golf for leisure are becoming very popular.
