How wellness is taking off at Sydney Airport

Getting a haircut, having your nails done, hammering out a cardio or weights session: these are three things you don’t usually expect to do at the airport.

But Sydney Airport is now turning pre-flight downtime into self-care time with the arrival of a barber, gym and nail salon at the T1 international terminal.

All three are located ‘landside’, making them easily accessible before going through security and immigration, or even after stepping off your international flight.

That could prove especially appealing for the Anytime Fitness gym, where members can either get the blood pumping after a long flight or just grab a quick shower to freshen up.

Gail Taylor, Sydney Airport’s General Manager Retail, says the trio “are part of our broader commitment to making every step through the airport easier.”

“We’re continuing to evolve our retail mix to better match how people travel today – adding thoughtful services, practical solutions and welcoming spaces that genuinely add value.”
