Storm Delays at Gatwick- Provide Convertible Bunk Beds, Reclining Seats, Suitcase Seats, Backpack Beds

Airports know at least once a year delays will happen.
1 RECLINING SEATS They should design airport seats like aircraft seats which recline.
2 BEDS
Build airport lounges where walls have bunk beds. (Charge a low fee. And/or make beds only available in emergencies to ticket holders of grounded planes. Passengers could be given a free bed ticket and token to unlock the bed).
3 BED/CHAIR SUITCASES
Suitcase manufacturers should be designing suitcases which turn into seats (I think one company has tried this already - but they are expensive). And sets of stacking family luggage should be designed to lock together like lego to make a series of slim beds. You could also run ticker tape news on weather, lost and found passengers, opening and shutting of cafeterias, departure of shuttle buses, departing planes, trains and buses or taxis and cab-share services with empty seats and other useful news.
4 ATTACHED HOTELS
Build more motels, budget motels, attached to airport terminals or car parks with covered walkways and ramps for wheeled luggage and wheelchairs.
