A canny air traveller decided to bed down in comfort by bringing his own inflatable mattress to the airport.
For most of us, the experience of waiting in the early hours of the morning or late at night for a plane to whisk you away is not a great one.
Once you've had a pre-take off pint, played on your phone and eaten two meal deal sandwiches, there's nothing else to be done but try and grab a snooze on the hard metal departure lounge chairs.
Rather than trying fitfully to sleep on such un-comfy stools, one man opted to bring a whole blow up bed to the airport.
Waiting for the 7:20pm departure from Orlando to Atlanta international, the passenger was pictured sleeping on the airbed next to the gate.
The photo was posted on the I Heart Cabin Crew forum with the caption “This person is living the dream”.
The post attracted a fair deal of admiration from people who'd clearly had terrible naps in airport terminals.
“Actually genius, after my last five hour layover and my almost 19 hour day of travel I would have loved this even just to relax and put my feet up," one person wrote.
Others were slightly less impressed, noting how much room the air-filled mattress took up.
“Great idea except he is blocking four seats," a critical commenter added.
Another queried: “I wonder if he slept right through the entire loading process."
While the passenger's motivations remain a mystery, it seems possible that he is a member of the sleepinginairports.net community.
The website serves as a database of the best and worst travel hubs across the world to sleep in.
It aims to share the best places to get some shuteye between flights and is compiled by travellers, many of whom want to avoid forking out for a hotel between flights.
The qualities it looks at include comfort of seating, services, food options and cleanliness.
The best airport in the world to sleep in is Changi Singapore, according to the website, which last released its rankings in 2019.
"Whether you’re looking for a quick cat nap or a private room, Changi Airport has something for every budget," the website reads.
"Free reclining loungers can be found at airside 'snooze lounges'
"Inside each terminal. Sleep chairs are limited, so your alternative will be to nap on other padded benches, armrest-free seating, or massage chairs located throughout the airport."
Sadly for weary British travellers, no UK airports made it into the global or even European top 15.
The best airport to sleep in on the Continent is Helsinki, according to the website.
"Helsinki Airport reflects the best of Scandinavia—great design, clear signage, stylish shops," it argues.
"No stranger to our Best Airports in the World list, Helsinki Airport has a lot for travellers to love: plenty of seating, out-of-the-way sleep spots, modern eateries, free sleep pods, and an overall tranquil vibe."
