#TheList: 11 Decadent Airport Spa Treatments

Airline travel has become so stressful that, once you arrive at your final destination, it can take two days just to unwind from long security lines and packed flights. In response to our collective travel anxiety and growing interest in beauty tourism, several airlines and airports around the world (and in the U.S.) are expanding their spa facilities to include unique and utterly enticing treatments.

In the past, flight delays meant slouching in uncomfortable chairs with headphones plastered to your ears hoping to catch a few zzz’s under the glare of florescent lights. Now, depending on where you roam, you can get a fish spa pedicure, virtual reality massage, spray tan, oxygen therapy, or a cooling treatment designed to revive tired, jet-lagged legs.
