Glasgow International Airport
Lasting Impressions....
Memorable comments left by travellers:
"there's still a strange sense of community where, even if we are all suspicious of each other and are sure someone is going to steal all our money, we're all sleeping on the same benches and will all wake up with the exact same pain in our backs as we stand in the check in line." (Nadine)
"there are always Police and Security staff patrolling the area who are happy to permit travellers using the airport to spend the night." (?)

I was having a bad day, and I wanted to just rest for a wee while. I knew of the lounge sofa things. I forgot how comfortable these were!
I lay there for a few hours watching the clouds, and spoke to some cute lass also. I did fall asleep and got a nice kip.
It will get quieter at night time, but be aware of the clanking lift doors, which I really wanted to break. Everyone just went their way and I was left to my own peace, and it was a peaceful area (bar the lift doors).
Space to sprawl out, and there are other options also, like big leather massage chairs (no need to pay just to sit).

"so I had the misfortune of being booked with a 6:30 flight out of Glasgow, Scotland back home to Frankfurt. it wouldn't have been that bad in the airport, except for that this was the night they decided to test the FIRE ALARM system. and they tested EVERY SINGLE smoke alarm in the entire building. after about an hour and a half of constant bell ringing, whooping sirens and that same annoying voice telling us not to be concerned, I was about to lose my mind- I only got three hours of sleep that night, but the last straw was when I asked the "worker" how much longer they were going to be testing and he mumbled something in an unintelligible dialect which I swear didn't really exist- he was probably just messing with me."
