With the increasing number of low-cost airlines, the threshold for traveling abroad has been lowered, to the extent that some people even take "two-day weekend trips" to Japan. Whether departing or returning, airports are an inevitable stop, and passengers often spend considerable time there due to check-in and layovers. The facilities and services at the airport largely determine whether this waiting time is enjoyable. DailyView Network Thermometer used the "KEYPO Big Data Key Engine" to survey the top ten features netizens most wish airports would offer.

Coming in first is the duty-free shops, which many love—shopping there always feels like time flies, and because items are tax-free, you can often find great deals. Second place goes to SPA/Massage; many travelers feel completely drained by the end of their trip, so having access to a massage while waiting at the airport would be incredibly relaxing. Third on the list is free Wi-Fi—modern people always feel uneasy without internet, don’t you agree?
