Airspa

In the Montréal Airport’s US-​bound Terminal, near gate 81, there is a little slice of tranquility in the middle of the walkway. Behind some screens you will find two massage chairs surrounded by some extra seating, and staffed two very helpful and professional individuals.
I realized that I’ve walked by this little outpost of tranquility many times without even realizing that it was there (usually because I was running late for a flight). After weeks of traveling, my back was in pain, and curiosity got the better of me. John greeted me warmly, asked me what was going on and how he could help, and most importantly what time my flight was. We agreed on a 40-​minute chair massage finding and working out numerous knots and may have been the only thing which allowed me to survive another flight in Delta’s little CRJ torture machine.
While the place may not look like much, looks in this case are very deceiving. Go in and have something good go on behind your back for once. Hey — you should get to the airport early, right? Reward yourself for it.
FYI — if you’re not flying from the US Terminal, Airspa has outposts in the Domestic Terminal at Gate 5, and International Terminal at Gate 53. Enjoy!
