CDG Chairs



Why don’t airports want you to sleep? Charles du Gaulle has really outdone itself with designing the least comfortable chains in the world for sleeping in. I don’t understand the angle or the shape but it is not based on the human body. They are also super rigid with stiff armrests. Maybe they look “modern” but after a long flight and before another one, I can barely see let alone appreciate style.

I wonder if they think comfortable chairs to sleep in will cause people to miss their flights? If so, do they care if people miss their flights? They could make money overbooking, right?

Maybe they think if people are too comfortable they will start booking longer layovers to bask in the delight of sleeping in airport chairs? Not totally sure why this would be bad for them again…

The why is suspect but the effect is certain- the person who purchased these chairs did not want sleepers.
