Business travelers are all familiar with the disappointment and frustration that comes with a flight delay or cancellation. Avid travelers know, cancellations and delays are bound to happen eventually.

The first question in the event of a flight delay: What you are going to do for dinner? Afterwards, you need to find somewhere to stay.

If you’re out of town, your options get a little trickier. You could try to research the immediate area to get a deal, but most major airports have luxurious lodging in the immediate vicinity, if not directly attached to the airport.

These accommodations are great because they offer relief to travelers in a tight spot. Many airport hotels are fully equipped with fitness centers and restaurants, meaning you can get a great meal and workout while waiting for your flight, whether it’s the next morning or next week.

Being nearby has the added advantage of being able to get back to the airport for any flights or seats that open up. When away on business, timeliness is one of your top priorities and getting to your next city is a pretty big deal.

On top of being timely and convenient, these hotels are usually luxurious and comfortable. On short notice, you will be hard-pressed to find rooms as comfortable and convenient as airport-connected hotels.
