Favorite airport to sleep in?

Think I've been to every major airport in US a lot on rollerblades too. Easy to sleep in and use as a hub. Mines Burlington, free showers couches clean.

Did you rollerblade into and out of LAX? It's not a bad way to go though air quality near the biggest airports (and peace and quiet) is not that good.

I passed through Henri Coandă International Airport/Otopeni in Bucharest last week. Plenty of spare seating in arrivals depending on the time you arrive, and a carrefour is open and has either normal (non airport) pricing or only slightly above, and has public transport from central Bucharest. I say go for it.

Changi Airport in Singapore. They WANT you to sleep there. Butterfly gardens, cacti gardens, free dark movie theaters, so many places to hide away in quiet nooks. They also give free tours out in the city if you have a long layover but I've always been way too tired to do any of those.

I got stuck waiting in Oslo airport for 24 hours, was nice and quiet overnight and could sleep comfortably without being disturbed. The 3 hours of wifi also appears to renew endlessly.

Worst was Sofia airport, but my main memory was having to walk there (can't remember if I missed the bus or didn't have money) which was a pain in the ass, lot of walking by the highway and through brambles in the dark, followed by a battle to sleep on those metal benches with armrests.

I fly a lot for work, I often have 12+ hour lay overs. And I have slept at an airport while bumming it. But my last trip up to work I got harassed by airport security in Minneapolis. I had arrived a day early because that was the only way it worked out with getting a bus from central Wisconsin to MSP for my flight to work, and they woke me up and grilllleddddd me hard. They asked me for my flight info/boarding pass, asked me a bunch of questions, like what was I doing there and why was I so early for my flight and so on. Asked if I was on anything ? Idk it was a lot and weird af.

I'm sharing because while in my 10+ years flying for work multiple times a year, this is the first something like that has happened to me, and makes me question how viable crashing out at the airport for the night really is anymore. So be careful y'all!
