There are a few reasons for this. First, high ceilings allow for better ventilation, which is important in preventing the spread of airborne diseases. Second, high ceilings make it easier to store luggage and other items out of the way, and to move around the airport more easily. Finally, high ceilings help to reduce noise levels, which can be important for both passengers and airport staff.

Can you elaborate on the second point about luggage? I'm not sure I understand how tall ceiling space gives more room for 3 foot tall suitcases wheeled around on the floor.

Wow! That is so great to learn that height reduces noise? Must be one of the reasons it is so appealing in a sensory way, had not realised this! Makes so much sense.

Usually you hear - repeatedly, domestically that height is very expensive due to material costs, where it seems everything is almost only just above door height in many developer builds.
