Traveling can be a very stressful ordeal from booking the flight to packing and rushing to the airport with enough time to spare to grab a bite to eat; the Helsinki Airport TravelLab Project hopes to make it a much more pleasant experience. At least, as soon as a person steps beyond security. It offers yoga and pilates classes to relax travelers pre-flight.
Initiated by Finnish airport management company Finavia, the Helsinki Airport TravelLab Project also offers a "Finnish-themed backdrop where travelers can take their selfies, pop-up restaurants that give diners a “Taste of Finland,” a crash-course on Finnish coffee culture and more," according to Psfk. Together, these features will provide both an air of relaxation and excitement.
