#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.

4. Cinnamon Oxygen Bar

Where: Oxygen Lounge JUKO at Narita International Airport in Toyko, Japan

Why: Because regular air is so boring (and also often polluted and scarce on flights), the self-service Oxygen Lounge in Tokyo’s airport brings you the opportunity to breathe in fresh O2 that has been infused with relaxing aromas. You can choose from scented oxygen like cinnamon, lime, and eucalyptus menthol. Some say inhaling oxygen can reduce stress and even enhance your skin’s radiance (though it’s important to be honest and realistic: there’s no science to back these claims). Also: make sure you do your research about health risks for certain conditions before you indulge in a little O2 therapy. Rates are about $7 for 10 minutes of oxygen therapy and $5 for every 10 minutes after.
