VATC's head of business department Pham Anh Tu told Viet Nam News that the pods with the area of 4sq.m and the height of 3m each will serve the passengers with private and fully-equipped facilities space that shield them from surrounding noise, light and crowds in the airport.
Passengers will enjoy free drinks and light food in the pods that are designed like mini hotels with beds, storage space for luggage and other valuables, as well as a power source for laptops, mobiles and other electronic devices. They can also access to a free wireless internet in the pods.
