“Staying airside is a game-changer, eliminating the need for PCR tests and immigration hassles, plus you can book for just a few hours; the modern rooms feature high-quality bedding and Diptyque products, ensuring a restful experience. Though not inexpensive, the convenience of stepping straight from your flight into a comfortable bed makes it worthwhile, especially when traveling with children. It's a smart choice for long layovers.”
