New study identifies the 10 airports that offer the most comfort, amenities
and entertainment for travelers in transit. Every year, over 1.5 billion travelers make a stopover en route, which is proof that stopovers are still a natural part of modern travel.
Direct flights save time, but a well-chosen stopover can provide both freedom, experiences and a
a chance to breathe between adventures. To find out where travelers can truly enjoy their layovers, AirAdvisor analyzed 50 major airports and ranked the top 10 in the world for a layover, based on the number of restaurants, cafes, shops, rest areas and sleeping options, hygiene facilities, and entertainment options.
