Travel delays are enough to make anyone cranky. Maybe you’re trying to get somewhere you’re excited to be, or you need to be somewhere for work and tardiness is not an option, or you just want to get home to your own bed and anything getting in the way of sweet, sweet rest can kiss your butt.
But if you have to experience air travel delays, where you spend those delays can make a big difference. The architects of these 8 airports kept that in mind when mapping out their incredible airport designs.
