Cinemas the most desired feature at airports, according to Skyscanner survey

Cinemas are the most desired feature at airports, according to a Skyscanner survey of more than 10,000 travelers worldwide.
The survey asked respondents what they’re most desired airport facilities were. Cinemas took the lead with a strong 49 percent. The next most desired was sleep pods, which 36 percent wanted. Rounding out the top ten features were libraries (32 percent), parks (31 percent), vanity areas (30 percent), kids play areas (21 percent), pools (20 percent), gyms (15 percent), man-made beaches (12 percent) and bikes (11 percent).

The survey also found that 10 percent of women and 8 percent of men wanted a personal shopper.

Where can travelers find some of these dream features? Hong Kong International has a UA IMAX theatre, and sleeping pods have been introduced at Abu Dhabi Airport starting at £8 an hour. Dallas/Fort Worth recently opened a Minute Suites nap center (see online news June 6, 2013).
