yeah so im one of these people who have tons of ideas and not even close to any idea or resources or capital to get them going
Okay so no point keeping ideas to myself - id rather see them out there and working so maybe some of you might see it as a good idea
Weve all travelled through airports .. connecting flights to hell and back .. youve got hours to burn and your starting to feel a bit .. tired .. dirty ... well why not have a shower and a shave at a shower and shave store
basically have booths like tanning salons except to shower and shave - freshen up .. use a nice clean toilet and get refreshed .. i know how i feel when im between flights and 12 hours into a 27 hour trip .. i would love to get refreshed
so thats the basic idea .. im thinking it could be a franchise .. all airports could have one .. and we know theres alot of airports out there .. you could have members cards for discounts and stuff for business travellers ..
anyways if anyone decides to go with this i want a lifetime free membership :) thanks

Nice idea ..
Personally though all i want to do is to get where i am going and having someone pamper me or give me a cut throat would send me to sleep and i'd miss my flights through being too relaxed ...
aromatherapy might be an option? To give out on the aeroplanes to lift spirits and revive or pick up on the way out of the plane? Talk to the body shop and others, they might be willing to push their stuff in this way via franchises especially for flyers ;)

I think some major carriers offer similair services. I am pretty sur British Airways does for First and Business class travelers.

yeah but why leave out the biggest market .. the budget people .. you know it could be a good market giving the mass amounts of people traffic moving around

IIRC there are some airports that offer these as well as small (rather, teeny tiny) rooms you can take a nap in.
Just basing on articles I've read somewhere, long ago, and it stuck in my feeble mind so I have no specifics :(

Virgin Blue started trialing these in Brisbane and Sydney early last year ... its a lounge just like the business/first class lounge, but its $5 per visit. It has computer access, showers, food, TV etc

I noticed a few of those in some of the airports last year, Peaches.
There are little kiosks springing up offering massages while you wait for your plane.
I can't remember where I saw the place for male/female manicures and pedicures.
As appealing as that is, the massage and possibly a shower, I wonder when we will see gyms open up in airports, complete with showers and treadmills. It would certainly help those of us who are going through nicotine withdrawal due to the lack of smoking in airports.

Not a bad idea...but you dont have any capital, own an airline, rent any space in airports, or have any airline connections. I'd suggest email spamming a nigerian princess scam.
