Travel is well-known to be stressful. But now, travelers have a new way to deal: the airport spa. As airport spas proliferate, and travelers can grab some much-needed indulgence, flying is becoming a tinier bit more relaxing, reported CNN.

“An airport spa gives me the ability to multitask and do a little something for myself,” Karen Zuckerman, whose work requires her to travel approximately 30 times per year, maintained.
Whenever she finds herself waiting in an airport terminal, she heads to an in-airport spa for a quick facial, massage or manicure.

If you are caught stuck at an airport, while away the time and relieve stress, jet lag and boredom at one of these 10 fantastic airport spas.
