Vietnam’s first ever sleep pods unveiled at Hanoi airport A Vietnam Aviation Tourism Corp official introduces the newly-inaugurated sleep pods at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi on July 22, 2014. Tuoi Tre Hanoi-based Noi Bai International Airport has become the very first terminal in Vietnam to provide sleep pods to serve passengers of delayed or canceled flights. Fourteen sleep pods, consisting of three single rooms and 11 double rooms, were unveiled on Tuesday at the departure terminal of the airport by the Vietnam Aviation Tourism Corp (VATC). The four-square-meter pods are 3m high and equipped with amenities including a bed, wardrobe, telephone and even WiFi connection, functioning as quick places of refuge for passengers awaiting their flights. Customers of the sleep pods will be treated to free water and snacks by the VATC. The pods cost VND210,000 (US$9.88) for single rooms, and VND252,000 ($11.86) for doubles, to use for the first three hours. The next three hours cost VND180,000 ($8.47) and VND215,000 ($10) for single and double rooms, respectively. The full-day rate is VND1.53 million ($72) for single rooms, and VND1.83 million ($86) for doubles. The VATC is offering a 20 percent discount to mark the inauguration of the service. While sleep pods are common at many international airports, this is the first time the modern facilities have been put to use at a Vietnamese terminal. Tuoi tre news
