I recently had to spend the night at the Dallas Love Field airport due to weather-related flight delays. This was not a pleasant experience, although I have seen worse airports at which to spend the night.
What was notable during that evening and morning was that several travelers were remarkably well prepared for the experience. They camped out on padded benches and had blankets, pillows, face masks, and noise-canceling earmuffs. Because these items were not standardized, I think they were unlikely to have been provided by the airport; these were personal possessions that had been thoughtfully packed for just such an event.
Perhaps these prudent travels were familiar with Sleeping in Airports, a website dedicated to providing information about this experience. The site provides tips and reviews for different airports, as well as provides suggestions about how to sleep effectively.
One such tip is to rent a car...and then just go to sleep in it without driving it anywhere.
