OMG. Rome terminal 5 (I think) is the worst. Good luck even finding a seat, because each gate only has a handful of them even for large international flights, forcing almost everyone to stand or sit on the floor. The idea seems to be to force you to walk around through the maze of Gucci, Bulgari, etc. stores cluttering the terminal until you pass out on the floor clutching a oversized Toblerone.

That's on of the biggest upsides of Airport lounges. They are usually not noisy and actually have seats that people can sit on for a prolonged period of time.

For Americans, just having a credit card with a "priority pass select" membership (Citi Prestige, Amex Platinum) will make stays at larger airports a LOT more pleasant.

These can also be found in BOS and CLT, probably others.
