JFK’s Terminal 8 accommodates nearly 13 million passengers annually through its 29 gates, which accommodate flights to and from destinations around the world. This new location will showcase XpresSpa’s signature premier services, such as massages, reflexology, and facials.

“We are excited to open our first spa in Terminal 8 in partnership with its terminal operator, Westfield.  XpresSpa opened its first stores at JFK in 2005. Since then, we’ve expanded significantly throughout the airport and with this latest location, we now operate eight spas at JFK,” said Ed Jankowski, CEO of XpresSpa. “Terminal 8 provides us an opportunity to raise our awareness with new potential customers traveling to and from new destinations.  Westfield has been a great partner to XpresSpa over the years and we are looking forward to continuing our work together on this project and others in the near future.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with XpresSpa once again to raise the bar for American Airlines customers at Terminal 8,” said Iris Messina, Vice President of Leasing for Westfield Airports. “Together we’re taking some of the stress out of traveling and providing a more fun, relaxing journey.”
