If your flight is delayed, that could mean napping with the masses in the vast seating areas of Heathrow.
But here is a tip, tucked away in Terminal 4 is a futuristic little place called the YOTEL, where for as little as $50 for a single, you can grab a few hours of blissful shuteye and a hot shower in something that looks like a deluxe cabin on a federation starship.
The YOTEL is in the airport not near the airport like the other hotel options.
Each cabin style room comes equipped with a large flat-screen tv, automated bed which sits up like a recliner and deploys flat for sleeping.  Curtains that allow a complete, welcome blackout.  A pullout desk and folding chair for using the free, fast Wi-Fi or having a bite from the food to go menu and modern glassed in bathroom with a rain shower.
The YOTEL is said to be amazingly quiet, considering where it is.  All in all, it sounds well worth it and it's something that I will be trying out when in Heathrow if my flight is ever delayed.
