Day stay

Hourly hotels have a cheeky reputation, but if you've ever been marooned at an airport for seven or eight hours, a day hotel sounds like heaven.

Well, cheers. There's a website for that. Dayuse.com lets you book legitimate high-end hotel rooms for the day. You don't even have to stay overnight.

And while there, waiting on the connecting flight from Hades itself, you may stretch out for a nap or enjoy the pool. Sadly, you'll have to go through security again when you return to the airport.
