If you’ve ever had a long layover, an early morning flight or just needed a quick nap at the airport, you know how hard it is to find a quiet spot. The lounges are crowded, the chairs are uncomfortable, and there is no real privacy. But China’s Kunming Airport has found the perfect solution— tiny sleeping capsules where you can rest, recharge, and relax in peace. A video going viral on Reddit titled “Sleeping Capsules at China’s Kunming Airport” shows a foreign traveller unlocking one of these capsules with a remote. The door slides open to reveal a small but super cosy space with a soft bed, dim lights, water bottles and all the basics you would need after a long flight. Inside The Viral Kunming Airport Capsules Inside the capsule, there is a small fan, a control panel for lighting and ventilation. Located on the 4th floor of the departure hall, these capsules are made for solo travellers or those waiting for their next flight. Sleeping Capsules at China's Kunming Airport byu/whybutts inDamnthatsinteresting Each capsule is thoughtfully equipped to make even a short stay feel comfortable. Travellers get basic bedding, bottled water and essential toiletries like slippers. There’s also an eye mask and earplugs. Some upgraded pods even come with air purifiers or ventilation systems for better airflow. Everything inside is designed for convenience, and it is compact, clean and surprisingly cosy. You can close the door, stretch out and completely disconnect from the noisy airport outside. The Future Of Airport Rest Reddit users are loving the idea. A person commented, “I wish more airports had these. The hotel rooms some places have are prohibitively expensive and not practical for most layovers. I just want a horizontal padded place to lie down for 2 hours for a reasonable price, that’s all!” Someone in the comments section also asked for the price to stay in the capsule. Replying, a user said, “Found an article on them. They are 299 Yuan for 8 hours (approximately Rs 3700).” Someone else had a suggestion as they commented, “I dream of an airport that would have a freaking….. Cinema, and a good one. I’d kill to be able to sit, relax and watch a good movie in a cinema chair when you have a long layover, grab some popcorn and just relaaaax.” And honestly, who wouldn’t agree? With travel getting busier every year, these sleeping capsules at Kunming Airport prove that comfort doesn’t have to be fancy.
