Travelers can wait in comfort at airport

BEIJING - Imagine you have already passed through airport security only to find your flight will be delayed for several hours. At most airports, there are few options: waiting in a chair near the gate, or wandering through nearby shops.

Su Yanping found himself in this situation recently when his flight from Beijing to Ulan Bator, capital of Mongolia, was eight hours late because of bad weather.

"Waiting in the noisy hall is not so comfortable. But to rest at a hotel outside the airport terminal, we have to go through the security procedures all over again, which would be exhausting," he said.
