### According to the airport guide, Sleeping in Airports, Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport is the sixth best airport in Europe, based on the overall experience determined by travellers who had taken the site’s 2019 airport survey.

In the annual survey, the guide asked travellers to rate airports worldwide based on their overall airport experience. People ranked their experiences on comfort; services, facilities and things to do; food options; immigration and security; customer service; cleanliness; navigation and ease of transit; and sleepability.

“Top airports have a lot in common: plenty of seating, rest areas, a good amount of food options, helpful staff and efficient check-in, and security procedures. Some airports go above-and-beyond with perks like in-terminal movie theatres and gardens,” the guide said.

“The best thing about each of these airports is their willingness to improve on already top-notch facilities. Many airports are renovating their terminals, and some are getting more innovative⁠, with the aim of making the airport a destination in itself.”
