Sleeping options for ~9 hour stop over at Abu Dhabi International airport

2/9/2016 4:00:19 PM

I ended up with in a similar situation in Abu Dhabi last year. An earlier delayed flight had resulted in me missing my connection. The airline wouldn’t provide a hotel room because it was day time, but my body clock was saying it was the middle of the night and I didn’t want to adjust to Gulf time. The airport is pretty spacious, or seemed so last May, and I had no difficulty in finding a quiet area with plenty of vacant seats in which to sleep. Whether that satisfies your definition of “quality sleep” will depend how good a sleeper you are, how tired you expect to be, and how unwilling you are to pay or a room or pod.

I chose the sleeping pods to sleep for 5 hours! They were good but was disgusted that the price you pay doesn’t include a blanket and a pillow! £8 for a blanket! We already paid £43 and thought we would get comfort. So if your thinking if the sleeping pod get a blanket and pillow off the plane because they put the air conditioning on so it’s cold!!!!!

This link has options available from sleeping on the floor in T3 (probably not what you’d consider quality sleep) to lounges to conventional hotels.
