Even if you aren't lucky enough to score a seat on one of these airlines, there are still ways to use their tricks aboard any ol' flight. Borrow their hacks -- like choosing a seat with minimal distractions and dining before the flight takes off so as not to interrupt sleep time -- to ensure you'll get some z's before you touch down. A guide from Work the World breaks it down below. Happy travels!
Best known for high-end shopping, Miami International has plenty to keep travelers occupied. Stores like Coach, Brookstone and Emporio Armani line the terminals and have led the airport to a top ten spot on CheapFlight’s best airports for shopping list. The Miami mall-like airport was the only American one to make it on the list.Photo Credit: Shopmiamiairport.comClick Here to See More of Airports with Awesome Amenities

Airport amenities aren’t only about catering to humans; luxuries have extended to their furry four-legged companions as well. All airports are required to have a place for dogs to relieve themselves before a flight but Atlanta has taken it to the next level, providing three areas—one of which is a park. The 1,000-square-foot, fully fenced in dog park is lovely, complete with two giant dog-themed pieces of art and benches. Added bonus: they provide biodegradable waste bags.

Three spas, a hair salon and a 1.4-mile indoor walking path should certainly be enough to keep you occupied at this airport, but if you’re looking for a little bit of downtime there’s a kiosk you’ll want to visit. Minneapolis was the first airport to install a Digiboo, a service where travelers can choose from more than 800 movies to buy ($14.99) or rent ($3.99) and then download onto their electronic device.Photo Credit: Digiboo.comClick Here to See More of Airports with Awesome Amenities

At first glance it may not seem like Burlington International has a whole lot going on but they were first in the country to include one particular important amenity. About a year ago, they installed a privacy pod for pumping or nursing moms. The pod is a clean, safe spot with plenty of room for luggage and strollers and it’s a huge win for traveling moms who prefer privacy. The airport also has local food staples Skinny Pancake and The Chubby Muffin, which provide quality meals at reasonable prices.Photo Credit: Mamava.com

50 shops, 3 massage centers and restaurants for any craving you might have (including bison burgers) are certainly enough to keep most travelers occupied, but Denver International has a few understated features worth mentioning. The underground shuttle doubles as an art exhibit, as the tunnel walls are lined with light and motion art pieces and the 365-foot-long glass walkway between Jepsen Terminal and Concourse A features a see-through floor overlooking the active airfield.Click Here to See More of Airports with Awesome AmenitiesPhoto Credit: Flydenver.com
