    Yes you can, the airport also has a lot of temporary beds below you can lie down and take a nap for free which is very handy.

    to be honest, those emergency beds look a little like emergency beds. And the red tape around the outside also Looks like something which is there as a temporary fixture.

    As in, something thats only there when theres cancelled flights and 100s of Indians who cannot leave the Airport for a day or 2 as they have no visa for Europe.

    I saw those beds a couple of months ago in Frankfurt when there was a Lufthansa strike, I presumed they were a temporary measure.

    The photo was just to show what the beds looked like, when I was last there it didn't look quite so "emergency"....no red and white tape, no blankets, less beds and they were in a single row rather than packed tightly together as in the photo.

    They may well have been temporary, I don't know for sure, there was no other strikes on or adverse weather at the time that I was aware of.

    what they do have also are some Relaxation zones.

    also worth noting, theres a strike announced for the Trains from tomorrow for possibly up to 10 days.
    Services will run, but with less frequent Services to town the attractiveness of making the spin is greatly reduced.
