Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

We’ve all seen them at airports: the dispossessed passengers. Their flights have been delayed or cancelled, and now the terminal is their home.

The seats at Gate 16 are their beds, their carry-on luggage a pillow, the hood of their coat the only illusion of privacy. At most airports a delayed flight means chaos, discomfort and misery. In these ones, however, a lengthy wait could almost be a bonus. People have had less fun and variety whilst on holiday than you get in these airports.

So if you’ve got a flight change – fingers crossed it could be at one of these. With terminal treasures like this, you might even find yourself hoping for delays...

Scroll through the gallery to see where you can find a yoga room, golf courses, a giant slide, an IMAX, or even buy gold bars.
