When Viktor Navorski got stranded at an airport in Steven Spielberg’s movie The Terminal that released in 2004, I sympathized with him. Those unending hours spent living out of a suitcase didn’t seem so appealing. However, if the movie was remade today, I’m sure it would have another perspective. Perhaps, Viktor would be seen enjoying therapeutic spa treatments at an airport spa after an indulgent meal at Wagamama. He could then check-in into a chic airport hotel — living his best life and not being too upset about a missed flight.
That’s because the airport experience has evolved a great deal over the last decade. Layovers aren’t those pointless hours spent mastering the art of doing nothing or as the Italian say — la dolce far niente — anymore. Rather, it’s become more about living the “the good life” — or as the Italian say — la dolce vita.
Airport layovers are soon transitioning into mini vacations if time is a luxury on hand. A meal in the choicest of the restaurants or sanative spa therapy is now passé. Select airports are going the extra mile to ensure your time is made the most of. From being entertainment hubs to encompassing futuristic technology whilst showcasing the best in art, airports are evolving and here is how.
