Got a 2 hour flight delay? How about 15 minutes?
by Gailen David
Making marvelous use of your time at the airport may improve the quality of your trip ten-fold. That is of course if you know what to do with your time. Remember, people watching gets old especially when you realize they’re all going to be on your flight!
Why not make a decision to pamper yourself and opt for a quick relaxing massage, mani-pedi or even a facial before or even after your next flight or during a delay. Sound Good? There’s a place that’s been created just for you! XpresSpa was started by Marisol and Moreton Binna, travelers just like us who identified a need for full service spas available to travelers who are delayed or arrive at the airport earlier than in the past to allow for longer security lines and other terminal hassles. It turns out that many travelers have more time to kill in the terminal than ever before and like I said before, it’s how that time is spent that makes the difference.
XpresSpa has 24 locations in 14 airports with more on the way. We’ll be talking about how to feel fabulous and look gorgeous all while making a flight connection; on the Jetiquette Show. I used to think that it would just take too long to stop into one of these spas, but I’ve experience a 15 minute manicure at the airport; all in time that would have gone to waste.
Your Wine Flight is Now Boarding
If you ever need to get a hold of me and I am flying out of DFW, you will definitely find me sampling wine and snacking on delicious Boursin Cheese and olive tepanade. Although I’ve been stopping in to La Bodega every chance I get, I was surprised to discover they are the first winery in an airport. They feature many Texas wines along with a collection of boutique wines from around the world.
On my last visit, I enjoyed a La Bodega Cabernet Sauvignon (Texas) and a La Bodega Merlot (Texas) which helped my delay fly by!
