Sure it may sound a little hard-core at first, but read-on and you’ll soon discover a travel community, that for 13 years has been sharing airport reviews, travel advice and “how-to” tips for the uninitiated airport sleeper.

Airport reviews for the  best and worst airports on their site, a blog, you can even follow Dona on twitter!

Don’t forget, sleeping in the airport or not, you can find tweeple in the same airport as you by using Boarding.

Have a safe trip and a good night :-)

They feard contamination by the A (H1N1) flu. Health officials report 22 possible cases of so-called “swine flu” in France but stress that only two are confirmed and that the outbreak is so far unexceptional.

The workers refused to handle bags from a flight from the Mexican resort of Cancun and about a dozen subsequent services which arrived from Spain.

Officials recognise that they were exercising a right guaranteed by French law to stay off the job if they have reason to believe that their health or life is in danger.
