Traveling can be incredibly rewarding and relaxing, but it can also be super stressful. Layovers, red-eyes and long lines can drive even the most spirited wayfarer a bit crazy. Luckily, most major airports have luxury spas and lounges with treatments that cater to frequent flyers who need a little relaxation before their next long flight. Here are some of our favorite airport spas from around the world
Absolute Spa
Vancouver International Airport
The rigors of travel are no joke, which is why Absolute Spa offers specific treatments for frequent flyers. Travelers can enjoy a Jet Lag Recovery Anti Swelling Leg Treatment, which uses pink grapefruit, juniper berry and rosemary to purify  legs and reduce fluid retention after a long flight. It’s the perfect way to reset after a flight across time zones.
The Jetsetter Spa
Miami-Dade International airport
Tired wayfarers that find themselves in the Miami-Dade International Airport can stop by the Jetsetter Spa. Available treatments include a “Breeze” facial, which manages to pack a full facial treatment into a swift 20 minutes — perfect for travelers that need a quick refresh before boarding a flight to their next adventure. For those with more time to spare, there are other, more extensive options available.
