Airport Travel News
by Chris TuckerIn Newark's Terminal C, if you didn't have time for that
much-needed haircut before heading out for your flight, you can get
a last-minute do at the airport's on-site D-parture Spa
(
www.departurespa.com).
They'll also paint your nails, do your makeup, and massage
tired muscles. And at the airport in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,
busy travelers can put a stop to their sniffles or whatever
else ails them at the 24-hour Aeromed Medical Centre
(
www.klia.com.my). And,
hey, during the holiday season, you can even get your gifts
wrapped for free at both Chicago O'Hare and Midway (
www.flychicago.com).
With such services available, and the addition of amenities like
meditation rooms (at
Amsterdam's Schiphol) and movie theaters
(Singapore's Changi), airports aren't just mere pit stops before
and after your flight. They're fast becoming mini-cities - designed
to keep travelers efficient, entertained, enlightened, and on their
way. - J.B.
