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.

At the Jetsetter Spa, located on the second level of South Terminal H, you can strip down to your bikini for a quick spray tan and also get a manicure, pedicure, and massage. You’ll be beach-ready before you even step out of the airport.
