Airport lounge not just for frequent fliers
The relatively new concept at Indian airports can be experienced at the new Hyderabad airport - The Plaza premium lounge covering an area of 7,000 sq. ft. will have 28 rooms, toilet and shower area, meeting room, bar, business center, library, massage centre and a restaurant.
According to the Travelbiz Monitor, this will, however, be a paid lounge unlike other airport lounges in India which are restricted to the business class passengers or frequent fliers. It can accommodate 150 people at a time and will also have slumber rooms, which will be rented out in slots of different time spans. Initially the slots will be of four hours and will be subsequently increased to eight, 12 and 24 hour slots.
Reminds me slightly of the Japanese budget hotel concept - capsule hotels. I am sure this will be different but the concept I must say has some similarities. Will be great to hear from travellers who have had the chance to experience it.
