USA Today: Airport-Spa Trend Growing
Posted on: 08/12/2005


 

USA Today features a growing trend in airport-based spas in today’s edition. The specialty spas cater to TLC-seeking travelers with time on their hands.

Today’s article highlights a chain of airport salons called XpresSpa, which on July 28 opened its latest location in Terminal 4 at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. XpresSpa now has five outlets, and owner Moreton Binn expects to open five more in the next few months, according to the article.

Of note, clientele at XpresSpa is 58 percent male; the spa has changed its decor to a more masculine feel.

The article also gives mention to other notable airport spas: Jet Setter Spa in the pre-screening area of Terminal C at Boston Logan International Airport; Oasis Day Spa in JetBlue Airways’ Terminal 6 at JFK; Passport Travel Spa in the pre-security area of Indianapolis International Airport; OraOxygen oxygen bar at Metro Airport in Detroit; and a Molton Brown spa in the British Airways Terraces Lounge at JFK.
