Airport Bliss: When the Terminal is Your Oasis
If you're the type who thrives on peace and quiet (or maybe you’re just too tired to leave), the airport might surprise you with its hidden gems. Some airports have spas, believe it or not! Imagine getting a massage while waiting for your flight. If pampering isn't your thing, there's always the allure of airport shopping. You can justify that impulse buy with the excuse, “I’ll need it for my next trip!” And let's not forget the food. Airport food has come a long way from mystery meat sandwiches. You might even find some decent local cuisine.
