Relax

Visit an airport loungeUpgrade your airport experience with a trip to an airport lounge. Don’t spend your travel downtime sitting at the gate, relax in the comfort of a lounge and get away from the hustle of the terminal. Lounges will vary in what they offer guests and how long you can stay. RIOgaleão Airport has many lounge options, some of which are airline-specific and some of which are open to everyone.Sanctifly has five lounge partners at GIG across International and Domestic terminals. Premium members can use a Sanctifly pass to access any of these lounges. You can find and book lounge experiences over on the ‘Facilities’ tab.

Meditate

Interfaith ChapelA great way to get away from the busyness of the main terminal is to spend some time in the Interfaith Chapel. Most airports will have multi-faith prayer rooms available for traveling passengers. The Interfaith Chapel at GIG also offers Catholic and Evangelistic Services for travelers throughout the week. Still, the rest of the time, it is a calming, open and peaceful space to relax. Choose one of our guided meditation-videos, which you can find over on the ‘Videos’ tab and use your airport downtime to relax and center yourself.It is located in Terminal 1 on the 3rd floor. Open 06;00 – 22:00 every day.

Stretch At The Gate

If you don’t have much time at the airport before your flight but still want to do something good for your body and mind, take the time to stretch and do some yoga. You don’t even have to venture far from your gate, find a little space and stretch and move your muscles before getting on your flight. Movement and exercise can help with circulation and make it much easier to relax and even sleep on the plane. There are lots of video tutorials you can follow in the Sanctifly app and none of them require equipment or very much space. You can find them over on the ‘Videos’ tab. Take ten minutes to move your body before catching your flight. You won’t regret it!
