The air transportation has been one of man's greatest inovation which had altered the course of history for good. Every year more percentage of the whole human population use this means especially for long distance journeys (cross-border). Airports have been ‘a place to be’ for so many who doesn't have the experience. But so many times for reasons uncountable, passengers have had to stay in the air port for more than three hours in busy terminals waiting for their flight. Some of these reasons are: delayed flight, extended transfers, long check in times, among others. We see passengers staying upto ten hours in the terminals for their flight.
To give comfort to passengers, airports offers terminal chairs. This might be comfortable for users who are staying for shorter hours but when delayed for longer period of times, it becomes so uncomfortable. You can imagine sitting in busy terminals for more than ten hours, - this is uncomfortable. There is another provision made by the airports, which is lounge areas.The airport lounges have a lot of advantages to make life comfortable for passengers. Paying for lounge areas are very expensive and not accessible to transit passengers.
Another provision available for passengers who have to spend long hours at the airport terminals is booking an hotel. Hotels may not be suitable for passengers because most passengers may not be spending the night, this is also cost effective. The process of checking and checking out might be taking a lot of time for passengers whose flight is in minutes time. Also the distance of nearby hotels to boarding gates are usually very long. Thus for these reasons passengers prefer to sleep on the terminal floors or terminal chairs. It is important to note that though passengers choose to sleep on terminal floors and chairs, there is no privacy for these areas are always busy. There is also need for passengers in this scenario to keep an eye on their luggage.
There are companies who noticed this and provided sleeping pods for passengers but many of the users of these sleeping pods complain that the sleeping pods are too small, dark on the inside and looks like a cofin (nobody wants to sleep in a cofin).
Many of the users who have their flights delayed or have to wait for longer hours for one reason or the others are people who would have loved to have their privacy to work, relax when stressed, and to be entertained but are stuck with the arrow of forced circumstance of waiting.
AIRPOD
The cofounders of Airpods also experienced these issues but they decide to do something about them. Solutions to these challenges was what birthed the AIRPOD project.
