I've long wondered why airports don't have movie theaters, arcades, and private sleeping spaces for exactly those times when travelers have hours long layovers.
Back in the Before Times, there was a lot more freedom in airports, you could wander in and out of the terminals and there was more to do. I remember distinctly the Little Rock airport had a lot of arcade games and Nintendo 64 kiosks through the whole Southwest terminal. This was before 9/11, when our whole country decided all at once that we need to self-immolate ourselves and stop enjoying anything ever again.
I used to go to the airport and hang out. We'd go to terminals and watch planes. It was awesome.
The terrorists have won, unfortunately...
Most high end lounges have somewhere you can nap, at least. I have this one airport I usually have a few hours before my final 50min flight to get home, and I always spend those hours in a lounge so I can get a nice shower and somewhere quiet.
Might be that the net revenue per hour of a restaurant will always win, unless you charge $50 per ticker for a movie.
Seriously. I could have watched Lord of the Rings.
