Airports turn architecture and wayfinding into stress-relief infrastructure for passengers Airports are increasingly using design interventions—layout tweaks, process smoothing, and targeted wayfinding—to reduce the “terrible” and frustrating parts of air travel. The approach treats passenger stress as an engineering problem, not just a customer-service issue.
