Given the dilemmas of waking up in the midnight and traveling to the airport to catch an early morning flight or to avoid the late evening city traffic snarls on the way to the airport, most flyers prefer to put up at a hotel in the neighborhood of the airport. Airport hotels are also the most sought after destination for resting the exhausted body after a long flight when most passengers are reluctant to travel several kilometers to a downtown hotel. The airport hotels in a city are often the first stop for travelers without a kith or kin to pick them up from the airport.
The number of hotels in the vicinity of an airport usually depends upon the amount of air traffic. Large metropolitan cities and places that attract large vacationing crowds throughout the year usually have several airport hotels so that travelers are spoilt for choice. However, choices are usually limited for a person traveling to a remote location that attracts few travelers.
