Passengers travelling through Austria’s Vienna Airport and in need of a quiet space or a quick nap can now take advantage of rentable sleeping pods (cabins) in Terminal 3.
Italian startup Zzzleepandgo has installed 16 “smart lounges” to offer passengers a peaceful place to work, rest or even stay overnight. Each pod features a place to rest or lie down, electricity, USB ports and free WLAN, as well as a foldable table and shelves for storage. Passengers can also make the most of a multimedia entertainment system to stream films and music as well as to control ventilation, lighting and opaque curtains for privacy.
To book a pod, passengers need to register at their chosen sleeping cabin via a modern touchpad and virtual reception which reads their passport, credit card and, depending on the requirements, their COVID-19 certificate. Once registration is complete the door to the pod is opened. Cabins and cleaned and disinfected after each use. Hire for the pods starts at €9 per hour and €48 for the whole night.
Julian Jäger, Vienna Airport’s Joint CEO and COO, said: “Effective immediately, we are offering all passengers a new, convenient service in the terminal. Passengers who stay at the airport for a longer period of time can now bridge the waiting period in a relaxed and peaceful manner in the modern sleeping cabins developed by Zzzleepandgo. The number of travellers at Vienna Airport will also increase substantially when the summer flight schedule takes effect and we look forward to the time when more passengers are convinced of the advantages of the Zzzleepandgo offering.”
Founded in 2015, Zzzleepandgo is an Italian brand that started life as a university student’s project. The company designs, produces and administers high-tech sleeping cabins for facilities including airports.
In 2022 Zzzleepandgo plans to operate facilities at 16 different airports in nine different countries, including Milan-Malpensa, Venice, Verona, Warsaw and Rio de Janeiro-Galeao as well as Vienna.
