Best new airport amenities in 2012

2012 has come and gone. With it, we saw many changes in the Travel industry. Some changes were great. Some were irritating. One trend that we have been seeing is with the improvement in airport amenities. Airports throughout the country continue to make strides in adding new amenities to make the traveling experience more enjoyable.

Gone are the days where finding electrical charging stations or free Wi-Fi at airports is unheard of. An estimated 88% of airports now have electrical charging stations and 90% offer free Wi-Fi. These amenities were once unheard of, but now are staples at most airports.

In 2012, airports continued to add innovative and creative amenities to enhance the customer experience. For example, San Francisco International Airport has introduced a first-of-its-kind airport Yoga room. This space allows for travelers to have a room devoted to contemplation and self-reflection. This is just one example of how airports are trying to make your travel experience a little mellower, healthier, and more connected.

Here is a list of USA Today’s Best new airport amenities in 2012.

Let’s hope that 2013 continues to bring improvements to our airport experience.
