Sleeping in Airports
BoingBoing sends us to The Budget Traveller's Guide to Sleeping in Airports:
It's better to arrive than depart: The Arrivals lounges are usually more comfortable than the Departures lounges. It's amazing how different the two areas can be in some airports. Of course airport logic seems to be that people who are departing immediately go to their gates, they don't sit around the ticket counters for hours. While the arrivals lounge aims to make all those family members, who are waiting for your flight to finally arrive after a four hour delay, a little more comfortable until you and your bags finally show up.
Act Innocent: Even if you sleep in airports on regular basis -- Do Not Act Like A Professional!!! Act like you REALLY do not want to be there and that there is absolutely nowhere else to go. I find crying helps. Remember, in the airport officials' eyes "the airport is not a motel." Ha, little do they know....
