Airport hotels for early morning departures

With airport delays so frequent, savvy travelers are booking early morning flights to decrease their chances of getting stuck overnight. As such, sleeping at an airport hotel before a daybreak flight makes the most sense. Avid Hotels is a growing chain that does the basics right for a fair price, with numerous locations near major airports. Expect rooms that are intentionally designed for a good night’s sleep, plus a complimentary grab-and-go breakfast and an efficient shuttle to whisk you to the terminal. Hyatt also has airport hotels scattered around the country. Grand Hyatt DFW is popular with folks catching early flights out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. Located in Terminal D, the rooms here have stellar runway views — though, fortunately, they're completely soundproofed.
