Introducing the Airport Spa


Delayed flights and missed connections can leave you stressed and bored, with hours to kill. To make the wait less painful, many airports are bringing in full-service spas.

Here are a few airport spas we like:

Long-layover reviver. At the Oasis Day Spa in New York’s JFK Inter-national Airport, you’ll find a full menu of manicure, pedicure, and facial treatments, including The Classic Facial ($80 for 45 minutes) that uses papaya and pineapple enzymes and a cream mask to hydrate tired skin.

The screaming-kids de-stresser. Doze in a plush massage lounger at XpresSpa in the Pittsburgh International Airport while up to three attendants work on your face, feet, and hands to restore full-body circulation ($35 for 30 minutes).

The missed-flight calmer. A 15-minute oxygen mask at OraOxygen Spa in the Detroit International Airport helps reduce fatigue and intensify mental alertness ($18).
