What to Book After a Long Flight
We sit close enough to IGI Airport that a good share of our guests arrive straight off a flight or with a few hours to fill before one. The right choice depends almost entirely on the clock.

If you have under 90 minutes in total
Reflexology, at 45 minutes and ₹2,000. It is done fully clothed, concentrates on the feet and lower legs, and is the fastest complete treatment on the menu — not a shortened version of something else.
Long periods seated are hard on the feet and lower legs specifically, which is why this is the one we point most short-window travellers towards.
If you have two to three hours
A 60-minute Swedish massage at ₹2,800. Moderate pressure, warm oil, nothing strenuous — the safe pick if you are getting back on a plane, because you will not feel worked over afterwards.
Thai massage is the alternative if you feel stiff rather than sore. Assisted stretching opens up hips and back after hours folded into a fixed position, and it is done clothed without oil.
If you have half a day or a hotel night ahead
The Russian Banya. Ninety minutes for the Classic, and the treatment people plan a Delhi stopover around. The heat-and-cool cycle is a genuine reset rather than a nap in a warm room.
Deep tissue also makes sense here — firm, sustained work for long-haul stiffness — but book it when you have a night ahead rather than another flight immediately after.
Two practical notes
We do not publish drive times from the terminals. Traffic on the airport approach varies far too much by hour, and a figure that is wrong by fifteen minutes is worse than no figure when you are watching a boarding time. Call with your actual timing and we will give you an honest read.
Bring your luggage if you need to — mention it when you call and we will have somewhere to put it. And remember you will clear security again on the way back, which is the step travellers most often forget to budget for.
