Now Boarding:  Spa Guests

© Spa Index 08-21-2002

Whether you're an occasional tourist or a seasoned traveler, the next time you visit a busy airport, stop and take a close look around -- you'll soon discover airports are providing its masses of air and road weary guests with amenities designed to offer more than the traditional hot dog, cinnamon roll and coffee break.

With Spa Kiosks and Spa Lounges now operating in major airports, you now have the option to pass up a vinyl booth at the food court and instead sink into a plush lounge chair at the airport's massage and pedicure station.

Massage? At an airport?  You could probably think of better or more interesting locations for relaxation treatments.  Then again, it's actually a natural fit to offer stress-reduction services and amenities in an environment which typically causes all of us, at one time or another, significant stress.

Airport Stress Levels can vary wildly from High (you have no time to spare as you race down the concourse to catch a flight) to Low (you have three hours to while away as a result of a delayed arrival), making it more important than ever to make the most of the time immediately before and after air travel. 

For the latest in Airport Spa Lounges, visit Sea-Tac in Seattle, Washington, Vancouver International in Vancouver, B.C., Newark International in New Jersey, or O'Hare International, in Chicago, Illinois -- each of those airports offers full-service spa facilities. 

In addition, at Calgary International Airport, in Calgary, Canada, a former flight attendant opened O2raOxygen, the world’s first oxygen spa, where travelers can purchase a dose of fresh,  clean air. After disembarking from a crowded aircraft where you have breathed recirculated air for several hours, Suzanne Letourneau says, “They just breathe the oxygen for 15 minutes. Close their eyes and relax.”

Brussels International Airport (BRU)

"For years, no one really appreciated the difficulties that the traveler goes through. The stress of catching flights coupled with circumstances beyond your control (like the brat next to you who spread peanut butter on your leg while you were sleeping) can create havoc with your mind and body. At long last, someone is listening. The renovations have paved the way for a whole new traveling experience: A peaceful one. So take a deep breath of that fresh oxygen, enjoy your massage and see if you can fit in a haircut before your connection. It's okay. You deserve it." --  Calgary Airport Survival Guide
