15 Secret Airport Perks That Even Frequent Flyers Don’t Know About

13. Layover Gym Passes That Let You Work Out for Free

Some airports have hidden partnerships with local gyms that allow transit passengers to use their facilities for free or at a steep discount. For example, at Dubai International and Dallas/Fort Worth, travelers can show their boarding pass to access nearby fitness centers equipped with weights, treadmills, showers, and even spa services. Other airports, like San Francisco International, have taken things a step further by offering in-airport walking trails designed for layover-friendly workouts. These designated pathways let passengers stretch their legs, get their steps in, and even enjoy airport art installations along the way.
