7 Best Airports to Get Stuck In

If you do much flying at all, you know that eventually you're going to get stuck somewhere. There are some airports where you'll find so much to do, you might not be ready to leave when your flight finally is! If you're headed to any of these airports anytime soon, be sure to use the Gusto Grabber to bookmark them!


Hong Kong International Airport
This ultramodern airport is located on a man-made island, and its floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning views of Hong Kong Bay. You can get a whole new look at the beauty salon or do some serious shopping (the tax-free shopping options here are great!). The napping rooms provide a quiet haven for the weary, and if you're really stuck here for a while, just check into the Regal Airport Hotel, considered the best airport hotel in the region.


Singapore Changi International Airport
You might actually want to get stuck here. This pristine airport has a swanky rooftop pool, Jacuzzis, a spa and beauty salon, excellent duty-free shopping, a grocery store, a movie theater that shows movies 24 hours a day - for free! - live bands, and, if you want to release your inner rock star, a karaoke lounge. If you wear yourself out taking advantage of all these options, just go curl up in the official napping corner; the cozy, slumber-friendly chairs have alarm clocks built into them.


Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
This airport, considered on of Europe's best, has excellent duty-free shopping options, and you can take all the money you saved in the shops to the airport's casino to try you luck. You'll also find a children's play area, widespread Internet access and showers. The airport's hotel rents rooms by the hour, so you can sleep in peace without having to pay for an entire night.


San Francisco International Airport
The San Francisco Airport Museums comprises some 20 galleries throughout the airport, and the exhibitions change regularly, so even frequent fliers will enjoy the change of scenery. There are some great shopping options - you can snap up some accessories at Gucci or pick up any cosmetics you might've left behind at Sephora - and several of the restaurants are so good they're truly fitting for a city known as a foodie's haven.


Auckland International Airport
Anyone who's traveled with little ones will appreciate the nursery rooms, which have changing tables and cots for catching a little shuteye, and the child care center. Kiddies can also play mini-golf, visit the petting zoo at the outdoor playground, or get creative in the Lego activity center. They should be ready for a good, long nap once you're on the plane. Mom and Dad, meanwhile, will enjoy the cozy couches, mini-theater, and shopping and dining options.


Denver International Airport
Thousands of passengers who were stuck there last month might disagree with us, but this visually appealing airport wins high marks for its Public Art Program, which ensures that you'll always have something interesting to gaze upon. There is a good selection of shops here, and you'll find several dining options that are plenty palatable.


Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
It can sometimes be tough to catch your connecting flight in this massive airport (hint: if you're truly desperate, you can probably get an employee to give you a lift on one of the carts they zip around in). But the sheer size of the place means that if you time to kill, you won't be bored. The shopping and dining options are extensive, and most stay open late.
