#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.

Kind of makes you think twice about dreading the travel part of your trip, doesn’t it? Ahead, 11 of the most exciting airport spa treatments you’ll find in the U.S. and around the globe.

11. Sensitive Skin Facial

Where: Absolute Spa at Vancouver International Airport

Why: When you have sensitive skin or rosacea and are prone to inflammation and redness, the stress of flying can really take its toll on your skin. Few traditional spas make taming red skin their number one priority, but the Soother Facial at Absolute Spa is a 60-minute treatment that incorporates aloe vera leaf extract, allantoin, rose geranium, and peptides to reduce redness and thoroughly hydrate irritated, dry skin. This spa also deserves a shout out for providing a massage and sandalwood facial designed specifically for pregnant passengers.
