best and worst airports for overnight stays

Last month, I found myself stuck at Chicago O'Hare overnight after my connecting flight got canceled. I thought, "Well, at least I'll save on a hotel," but the reality was far from comfortable. Every bench seemed to have those annoying armrests right in the middle, making it impossible to stretch out. I ended up curling up on the floor with my jacket as a pillow, right next to a vending machine that kept humming all night. But then I remembered a time in Vancouver where I actually managed to snag a full bench with no armrests, and the place was so clean and quiet, I almost forgot I was in an airport. Why can't more airports be like that? It feels like some places go out of their way to make you miserable if you have to spend the night. Has anyone else noticed how some airports are practically designed to keep you from getting any rest, while others feel almost welcoming? I can't be the only one who's had to choose between a rock-hard floor and a bench with metal bars digging into my back. Sometimes I wonder if they want us to suffer just so we'll book a hotel instead! #airportlife #travelstruggles #overnightadventures #Travel
