Ah, but wanted to know how say reflection rooms are different than say common relaxation rooms. Is there a difference, if there is, then what, thank you.

What such a room is called has little significance to me.

All major Australian airports have at least one prayer room, although in Perth it is called a Quiet Room "for prayer or quiet contemplation". Sydney has one in the International terminal , mostly for travellers, plus another near the taxi bay for drivers.

This link is as of 2017, it may be different from today due to the Pandemic. https://portfolio.panynj.gov/2017/03/30 ... ry-at-jfk/ When JFK was built in the 1950's, there were 3 chapel buildings outside of the terminals, they were torn down in the 1980's (from my recall) to provide more parking and other needs.
EWR has a small interfaith chapel inside security of Terminal C - https://www.newarkairport.com/at-airpor ... d-services
LGA currently had no faith or 'quiet' room, in large part it is due to massive renovations underway and issues with the private partners as to providing space.

I didn't know about the one for taxi drivers. That's a nice touch. Must admit I've not taken a taxi in an extremely long time.

Probably - because the airport is government owned - someone kicked up a fuss about it being called a prayer room, endorsing religion blah blah. So, a "safe" name.
I am not the least bit religious but have no issue with prayer rooms being CALLED prayer rooms. More important things, well, prey on my thoughts right now.

Not too many places in the States have them (I believe DFW has a chapel of some sort as well) so I definitely appreciate ORD having one. And of course it's not just for Catholics, I'm just speaking from personal experience. My only gripe is that it's outside security, but that's certainly not the end of the world.

We couldn't even get a few posts in about an airport prayer room without someone getting offended and wanting to call it a "room of silence". Nobody is stopping you from using the prayer room for meditation or anything else if you are not praying
