It might sound like something to do with enemas but this cocoon is the latest in airport luxury and should be cropping up in European passenger lounges later this year.
The Nemorelaxer is a sound-proofed pod that allows weary passengers to rest, sleep, watch a bit of telly, do some work and generally get away from the rest of those smelly peasants in the departure lounge.
The idea is to create an ‘oasis of calm’ in busy airport surroundings and the pods will be arranged in groups in a special area, fronted by a reception desk and helpful staff. They’ll loan you a notebook if you don’t have one and even look after your luggage while you snooze, slave or surf the Net.
More importantly, they’re there to take your money and ensure you don’t wake up to find yourself surrounded by 30 Japanese tourists uploading your drooling onto YouTube.
Time slots will be sold by the half hour and the fact that they haven’t told us what it will cost gives you some indication of the type of customer they are targeting. So, what are the chances of claiming this on expenses?-Martin Lynch

Could work. But ideally we want these things in the planes for long haul - not in the lounge :-)
I could imagine that there will be many eggs in the future airports. Can the users close the cover? Does it come with massaging feature? It would be good for those who wait for transit and most importantly the charges should be reasonable.
