Everyone is looking for different amenities from an airport lounge, depending on how long their connection is, what kind of trip they’re taking, etc. While I have a list of what I consider to be the best business lounges and best first lounges, my favorite may vary day to day, depending on my travel.

Shh, don’t tell everyone 😉 Maybe I’ve just lucked out but every time I’ve asked, both rooms have been available.

Oof, the likelihood of actually getting access to one of those beds at the Turkish 'business' class lounge is slim to none; you would need to bribe the attendants; otherwise, nearly always 'full.'

I seem to recall that we used to get beds in the Air China lounge in Beijing. This was pre-covid and we haven’t flown Air China since since their routes to North America were cut substantially. Does anyone know if they still offer beds there?

The Al Safwa link goes to your review of Swiss’ lounge. My world is falling apart, Ben, so please fix.

I don’t see the point in long layovers and seeking out free hotel rooms within airport lounges. It took me 41 hrs instead of 26 hrs to get from SIN to ORD .

Velasquez lounge in MAD. I can't remember if it was timed or not, I got a good nap and shower before a flight to BOG.

What I was going to say. Perhaps because it's a 'cabana' rather than a 'bedroom' and unadvertised benefit.

This is disgusting. I’ve heard this from a few sources as well. Those bedrooms are usually given for a bribe. It’s not a question of money, it’s just the principle of it.

That’s why Turkish airline should not be on the list

JAL Sakura lounge at Narita has 2 nap rooms. You need to ask an attendant to use the room and basically can use the room up to 2 hours.

I scored the Swiss bedroom at ZRH connecting from GRU to CDG. It was out of this world... I couldn't stop smiling and the bed was soooo comfortable. I was basically too excited to sleep. I need to find a way to do that again...

And most lounges on the list doesn't even open overnight.

Then again, these lounges are basically *A. So transit arrival even in F doesn't get you lounge access until the day of departure.

Also a shout out to CX lounge, the daybeds must be very comfortable, many people are snoring every time I visit.

According to my in depth evaluation during my 1 mio mileage run with TK:
Flights must be with TK, either a business class ticket or Miles&Smiles Elite Plus status.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.

And as the terminal closed overnight, slightly moot point. But they are there.

The point in long layovers is that some connections ARE just that way. For example, flying Swiss from Singapore to Malta, you have a choice of a 55 minute layover, or ten hours. Betting on a 55 minute layover is a fool's errand.

This is nice, but could you do a business class/day bed version? Like Singapore Airline’s business lounge at T3 SIN, Maple Leaf lounge in FRA, etc?

Can either of you two say more about this? I've never seen signs for this and don't see anything online.

On the upper floor, what used to be the Gold lounge, once you're at the top of the stairs, on the right hand corner next to the reading material section and behind the couches you'll see two doors.

OMG jesus ..
The value you (as a blogger) bring is listing rest or sleeping rooms or areas in BUSINESS CLASS lounges. Like KAL Lounge (East) & (West - currently undergoing renovation) in Incheon, Korea.
It is pointless to list FCL lounges because 99.99% would have sleeping rooms!

Saudia's new Catrion Lounge in Riyadh has "sleep rooms", only available if your layover is more than 4 hours.
Anybody seen inside these, I'm not sure if they're proper bedrooms or not?

He won't do a business class bed review, because they really don't exist..... usually this perk is only for a few select first class lounges, not to say that somewhere in the world their isn't access from business class

You forgot to add muscat airport. The primeclass lounge is amazing and has real bedrooms with private bathrooms.

Btw the Swiss room in Zurich has an absolutely amazing bedding, especially the blanket. I even bought one for my home bed 🙂

While I'm not normally one for scented linens, the linens in the LX FC lounge smell like they were pulled fresh out of the dryer and placed on the bed. The LX FC bedrooms win all the prizes.

For TK, at IST, M&S Lounge also has eight bed rooms. So they are also open to non-business class passengers.
