The New York Times has a trend story about sleeping in airports, a practice that's become more common as airlines cut back on hotel vouchers to save money. The piece points to the Mini Motel, a little tent set for the great indoors. It includes an air mattress, pillow, sheet, alarm clock (because you didn't bring your cellie to the airport?), reading light, toothbrush/paste, earplugs, and eyeshades. We don't think we'll be investing in one of these kits before heading out to travel, but we can almost see buying one in an airport (probably at jacked-up prices) if we got desperate enough. We hope that never happens.

The Times article also mentions http://www.sleepinginairports.com/, a travelers' guide to the best and worst airports for sleeping. Not surprisingly, Logan ranks pretty low on the airport sleepers' list, receiving a "Welcome to Hell!" rating. Logan also earned a "Poopy Airport Award" in 2005; we hope that's for being a poor place to sleep, not for being full of poop, but we aren't really sure.

Logan airport-sleeping reviews criticize the "immovable armrests," call the place "dreadfully uncomfortable," and even say Logan is "definitely skull and crossbones." However, reviewers also praise the
"great Legal Sea Food restaurant" in Terminal C, as well as the 24/7 airport Dunkin. Perhaps the most eloquent review describes Logan as "really, really, really, really BAD!!!!!!" We ask, where's the eleven?11?

Do you have any Logan experiences--good or bad--to share?
