Priority Pass adds sleep pods in Dubai
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
You can’t accuse airport lounge card Priority Pass of standing still. After adding a restaurant / bar at Gatwick South (you get £15 of free food and drink by showing your Priority Pass) and seven restaurants / bars in Sydney, it is now offering its first sleep pods.
When I was in Dubai in March I walked passed the YAWN area and thought it looked …. umm …. interesting. This is a new airport sleep concept, whereby you can get a 2-hour session in one of 20 Igloo Sleep Pods – see photo below.
The pods are available 24 hours a day and come with free wi-fi and power points! They are situated in Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport so ideal for anyone flying on Emirates or Qantas.
As a Priority Pass member, you can get two hours use of a Sleep Pod for free. Full details are on the Priority Pass website here.
