If you have ever spent a considerable amount of time at an airport you know the stress that travel can bring. Delays are an unfortunate part of travel and can include flight cancelations, long layovers, and connecting flights. Being stuck at the airport is the worst; airports are now more uncomfortable than ever. They can be quite loud, congested and stressful.
The transportation industry over the past couple of years has been making an effort to improve the overall customer experience. The industry has come to see that if you make your customers more comfortable and reduce their stress they will return.
If you have been in an automotive dealership of one of the big brands recently you will see what I am talking about. The service departments of these dealerships have a come a long way in improving customer experience and making things more comfortable in preparation of receiving your large repair bill.
Until recently airport did not have quite the same level of comfort offering available for their passengers. If you were not flying first class and provided access to a lounge, chances are you sat at the bar or even worse in the waiting area. If you were waiting for a few hours like every frequent traveler has, you understand the frustration and boredom you feel.
Major airports can now offer their passengers a better option, an AirPod Sleeping Pod. This really cool looking unit is the ultimate in comfort and privacy. The pod would be installed in public areas like airports or bus stations to provide travelers a private area to relax, sleep, work or just enjoy some privacy.
The unit itself looks very futuristic, like an escape pod from your favorite space movie. The interior of the pod is filled with cutting-edge technologies that allow the user to complete their tasks privately while in a public or commercial area. Just look at the options installed within the AirPod Sleep Pod
- Free High-speed Wi-Fi for all users
- Power sockets (USB/electricity)
- Working desk
- Privacy glass
- Touch screen monitor
- Sound reduction technology
- Mood lighting and anti-stress ambient programming
- Luggage and personal belongings storage
- Air Condition & HEPA filter
- Alarm clock
- Flight status
- High quality seat that transforms into a bed
- Self-disinfection LED system
Just imagine you have just been informed that your flight has been delayed for 2 hours and you begin to dread the wait instantly. You look over in the corner and there is an AirPod! You climb in, pay a small fee and for the next 2 hours, you feel like you are in your living room! This to me sounds like a way to spend that 2 hour wait time instead of sitting on a bench staring at people on their cellphones. These AirPods are going to be a hit!
After each use of an AirPod Sleep Pod the unit is looked over by an airport staff member and integrated LED lights are activated to disinfect the pod. Through the procedure of cold micro-molecular dispersion, 100% of unpleasant smells are removed from the air. The Airpod is now fresh, clean and ready for its next guest.
A case study was done for the Dubai Airport. The study can be found on the company WEBSITE.
The company that makes these AirPod Sleep Pods has a well laid out roadmap for the next 3 years. By early 2018 the company will have built 10 pods and will be sent off to UK Airports. At the beginning of 2019, the company hopes to have 100 AirPods installed and 400 by the end of the year.
The company is currently running an ICO and tokens were available beginning in April. The ICO listing has received top marks so far and the feedback has been overwhelming positive. This looks like real a company on the rise, that’s for sure.
