Having traveled a lot in my professional life, I have spent hours in airports. Sometimes I spent a night in one, due to missed connections or weather. Tom Hanks was in a movie about a man who wound up living one for several years. If only I had known about today’s Warped site, it could have made my life easier.

The site is called Sleeping in Airports. For travelers who are really on a budget and are looking for a way to shave a few bucks off their travel expenses, why not consider sleeping in an airport? Many airports are actually better than local lodging. And to top it off - IT’S FREE (which is a very good price)! Your friends and family may look at you funny when you return with your airport stories, but that’s only part of the fun. So now, sit back… get out your travel itinerary and plan which airports you’re going to sleep in (or avoid altogether) during your next trip.

This site serves as a clearing house for all the goodies that go into making an airport a place to hang out if you ever have the need to. It isn’t just limited to the United States, but also covers Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. Among the items reviewed are sleeping locations and quality of seats, photos of the best and worst places to fly into and out of, and the quality of the food. The highlight is actual user reviews of the airports from people who have claimed to have actually slept in them. If you are so inclined, there are also links and information about accommodations outside the airports as well.
