    Are there any decent seats anywhere in the airport to get some sort of a nap? I'm flying with Aer Lingus so I think I'm in T2.

    Thanks.

    You should pick up an airport hotel/b&b in Swords for under €50. Are you really bent on staying in the airport?

    I arrive at airport at 3:00am for 7:20am flight. It is the only night bus that suites. I don't see the point of booking aroom for only a few hours - plus this is for tonight.

    Tad late but for future reference there's a McDonalds/coffee place (think it's Costa?) open 24 hours upstairs. :D
    Done it a few times. :cool:

    Cheers.

    I must be getting old.

    If I had to sleep in an Airport and couldn't afford a place to sleep I just wouldn't go.

    Slept in Stansted once, was crap.
    However comfortable your sleeping arrangement, there's still announcements and all that crap.

    I'd be afraid of my life that if I fell asleep in a train, airport, bus station etc. that all my worldly goods would be stolen from my sleeping bod! Not to mention my horrific open mouthed slobbery snoring that I would inflict on those around me.

    So I don't. And sleep better when I arrive....

    My flight was one of the first out in the morning and I was unable to leave Belfast early in evening therefore, I decided it was not worthwhile to purchase a room for the time I would be in it.

    I slept on a number or outdoor train platforms while Interrailing years ago. Not the most pleasant experiences.
