Travelling is usually an exciting experience, but there always comes a point when you want to sit down, recharge your devices, take a short nap, and feel rested. Long layovers, delayed flights, overnight connections, and early morning departures clearly show that passenger comfort is no longer a choice but a necessity.

At Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, passengers now have access to thoughtfully designed rest facilities that go beyond traditional lounges. Located within the International Terminal, Sleepin by Aviserv and JPOD Powered by URBANPOD (Arrivals) offer two distinct solutions that significantly enhance the overall passenger experience.

How Can You Rest While Travelling at the Airport ?

Traditional options were limited: crowded seating areas, busy lounges, or expensive airport hotels that required leaving the terminal. None of these were designed for short, flexible rest.

JPOD Powered by URBANPOD

Then came India’s first airport exclusive pod hotel designed specifically for modern travellers who seek privacy, comfort, and affordability. JPOD delivers a clean, minimalistic, technology-enabled stay experience with a next-generation, futuristic design philosophy.

The pods are located in Arrivals (Level C), near the car park. The facility houses 51 pods, offering multiple options to suit different needs: Classic Pods, Private Pods, Exclusive Ladies only Pods, and a Double Bed Pod designed to accommodate travellers with disabilities.

Each pod is a personal space equipped with comfortable bedding, one-time-use bed and pillow covers, secure lockers with keycard access, free Wi-Fi, reading lights, power sockets, adjustable air conditioning, and soothing mood lighting. Sliding doors with a lock ensure privacy, while safety features such as smoke detectors and fire-safety systems provide a secure environment. Non-attached bathroom suites help maintain high hygiene standards.

JPOD offers a cost-effective alternative to airport hotels and lounges. It is a strong example of how Hyderabad Airport is redefining traveller comfort through smart design and efficient use of space.

Sleepin by Aviserv

Travellers looking for shorter breaks during their journey can opt for Sleepin by Aviserv. These pods are located at the International Terminal, opposite Gate No 25 B (Security Hold Area). The facility is open 24/7 and designed for transit and overnight passengers.

Sleepin by Aviserv features private sleeping pods with sound-dampened interiors, adjustable lighting, privacy curtains or doors, reading lights, and USB/AC charging points. Plush recliners are also available for a quick snooze, and hot shower facilities with fresh towels and basic toiletries allow travellers to refresh between flights.

Additional amenities include packaged snacks, non-alcoholic beverages such as coffee, tea, and juices, complimentary high speed Wi-Fi, flight information display screens, secure luggage storage, charging stations, wheelchair-accessible routes, regular housekeeping, and 24/7 staff presence helping ensure a safe and comfortable passenger experience.

Who Are These Pods Made For?

These pods are designed for real travel situations and work especially well for:

• Transit passengers with long layovers.
• Overnight travellers facing delays or late night arrivals.
• Business travellers needing rest between flights or meetings.
• Families looking for a calm, private space away from terminal crowds.

These sleeping pods at Hyderabad Airport reflect a growing global trend of compact, flexible rest spaces that support comfort without complexity.

How to Book a Pod

JPOD can be booked directly at the facility. It follows a time-based pricing model, allowing passengers to pay only for the time they use. Travelers can choose the pod type based on availability and duration of stay.

Sleepin by Aviserv is a walk in facility, open 24/7, and accessible on a first-come, first-served basis. This flexibility makes it convenient for transit passengers and travelers facing delays, overnight connections, or early departures.

Prices range from INR 700 to INR 7000 and vary by pod category, combinations, a la carte services, and duration.

A Practical Addition to Hyderabad Airport Facilities

Pods are a great option, sitting conveniently between lounges and hotels. This innovation fits naturally into the ecosystem of Hyderabad Airport facilities, using terminal space efficiently while responding to the real needs of modern travel.
