It’s no secret that many travellers appreciate airport lounge showers, and it’s easy to see why. Long flights, layovers, and stopovers can mean that people are hanging around the airport for long periods of time. This can increase the stress of travel and cause travellers to become overwhelmed and exhausted. The presence of airport shower facilities can help to alleviate stress and help passengers to feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
The benefits of high-quality showers are felt throughout your airport, and not just by your individual passengers. One of the main advantages is the improved hygiene that shower facilities bring. Airports are frequently crowded and busy paces, full of passengers and luggage, which makes it difficult to keep on top of hygiene which increases the risk of infections and pathogens spreading between passengers. Giving passengers access to high-quality shower facilities will help prevent poor hygiene in the airport, and improve the environment for passengers, staff, and visitors alike. So, whether your passengers are looking to shake off jetlag before a connection flight in five hours’ time, or want to get changed before heading straight into a big meeting, airport shower facilities will feel like a godsend for frequent flyers and weary travellers.
However, from an airport management perspective, providing adequate shower facilities can be less than straightforward. Tile and trade cubicles are expensive to install and can be cumbersome to maintain. A poorly maintained shower is more of a hygiene hazard than an asset, especially in heavy use airports.
The solution is to invest in shower pods for your airport wash facilities. These compact wash and refreshment stations are popping up in air terminals worldwide, providing an oasis of calm for your travellers. Shower pods are modular, leak proof units that can be installed in a matter of hours, and require only a fraction of the upkeep of traditional shower cubicles. Without the need for tiles, separate trays, silicone sealant, and grouting, all your units need to maintain their pristine appearance is a regular clean down. In high traffic airports, this saves your maintenance teams time, provides a superior experience for your travellers and staff, and saves money from your estate management budget, too.
