Airports across the globe are stepping up their game with ways to welcome passengers and reduce travel stress, from airport karaoke to walking and biking trails in the terminal. Passengers have always enjoyed passing the time before, between or even after flights by enjoying a meal or indulging in a spa treatment at the airport. Which ones have the best offerings? Below are some favorites of Travel + Leisure magazine.
Bonfire
When it comes to fine dining, Todd English's Bonfire at Boston's Logan International Airport offers up Argentinean steakhouse fare from the heart of Terminal B. Travelers can enjoy the 14-ounce prime sirloin or the baja fish tacos at the full-service dining area, or opt for a cocktail and lobster nachos at the Todd English lounge.
No time for an airport meal? No problem. Boston events can take advantage of the restaurant's downtown location, which offers private dining for up to 22 people.
Vino Volo
Vino Volo will have air travelers in and out of New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport nearly hoping for a delay. Located in Terminal 8, the first-class New York restaurant and wine bar invites passengers to grab a seat among sleek oak furniture to enjoy a glass from its extensive list.
Air travelers to and from New York City events will be able to enjoy a glass of Vino Volo's finest at one of the city's other primary airports, Newark Liberty International, in January 2009.
Elemis
International guests a bit harried from the travel to your London events? Heathrow International Airport welcomes them with indulgences such as Elemis Travel Spa in Terminals 4 and 5. In just 15 minutes, travelers are rejuvenated thanks to treatments such as the "Spot-On Power Back Massage" and four choices of skin therapies.
