somethings an airports needs

I am sitting in Houston airport waiting the endless wait for the next flight. I spend quite a lot of time hanging round airports waiting for the next flight. Suppose it’s a metaphor for life or something. Periods of movement separated by waiting for the next stage of the journey.

Anyway there are lots of useful things at airports designed to amuse the traveler and provide traveling comforts, things like charging stations for laptops and mobiles, areas of WIFI (not free of course) restaurants of varying quality, massage chairs for back and neck, duty free (good for at least an hour of aimless window shopping), bars for the occasional beer and so on and so forth.

There are a few things that are missing though

A bathroom with a bath or even just a shower that you can go and get clean. A seaweed bath would be ab fab.

Sleeping benches that could be rented for a few hours. You get a locker to put your stuff in to keep it safe and off you go. Kind of like the mini hotel rooms they have in japan.

Reiki or acupuncture

Televisions to watch shows, you buy credit and then get to choose what you want to watch.

I can’t think of anymore right now, anyone else?

I could really do with that bath right now… imagine having a seaweed bath during your four hour stopover after eight hours already travelling? How amazing would that be?
