I have returned from a great trip to San Francisco with my GT colleague, Chris Salem.   On my way to San Francisco, my 5:20 p.m. flight was delayed by 45 minutes from JFK.  Since I had arrived to the airport early, I had even more time to kill.  Luckily, JFK is an airport where I don’t mind spending an extra hour or two. This just goes to show the importance of retail, entertainment and restaurants in airports! Usually when I have a delayed flight, I will read or eat.  Eating my time away, however, often leaves me cranky with my decision, especially since airports don’t offer the healthiest options.  This time, I decided to try something that I will now do more often when I am faced with a flight delay — XpresSpa! OK, so my ideal spa situation doesn’t include the hustle and bustle of an international airport, but depending on how much you want to pay and how much time you have, XpresSpa offers a range of options from mani/pedis to facials and bikini waxes.  Manicures, pedicures and back massages are done in the front of the spa, where the sound of the airport is a bit annoying.  But facials, bikini waxes and full massages are available in the back of the spa in a more intimate and relaxing setting. For the price of a meal, I was able to receive a manicure and pedicure in an hour while enjoying the relaxation of a massage chair.  I was pleased with the service and would definitely do this again.  As a business traveler,  you often have to land and hit the ground running for a day full of meetings.  This is why I love the idea of spas and hair salons in airports.  If more women take over the business scene, airports will be like just another day out with the girls! In San Francisco, Chris and I had a pleasant stay at the Hyatt Fisherman’s Wharf, where we were able to meet the GM, Dania Duke.   Keep an eye out for our complete reviews of our stay in eFlyer! –Courtney Centeno, account executive
