Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Headspace's Airline Partnerships Help Travelers Keep Calm in the Sky

— February 1, 2018 — Lifestyle
For all the benefits of commercial flight, Headspace's airline partnerships show that the mode of travel will always be a potentially uncomfortable one. However, these partnerships also show that there are ways around the barrage of discomfort often associated with air travel, from anxiety to sleep-cycle misalignment. The popular meditation app has partnered with airlines around the world to bring its platform up into the skies.

It's blissful to have one's head in the clouds metaphorically, but having one's head in the clouds isn't always pleasant when it's taken literally. Many people have intense anxiety when it comes to flying, and virtually everyone suffers from sleep problems when they go across multiple time zones. Headspace's airline partnerships include Air Canada, British Airways, Delta, JetBlue, and Virgin Atlantic, so travelers can stay calm and diurnal no matter where they're flying.
Trend Themes
1. In-flight Meditation - Opportunity for developing meditation platforms and experiences tailored specifically for the in-flight environment.
2. Anxiety-free Air Travel - Opportunity to create products and services that alleviate anxiety and provide relaxation techniques for air travelers.
3. Sleep Enhancement Solutions - Opportunity to develop solutions that help passengers adjust to different time zones and improve sleep quality during air travel.
Industry Implications
1. Airlines - Disruptive innovation opportunities for airlines to partner with mindfulness and wellness brands to offer in-flight meditation and relaxation experiences.
2. Technology - Opportunities for technology companies to create specialized meditation and sleep-enhancement apps or devices specifically designed for air travel.
3. Travel & Hospitality - Opportunities for travel and hospitality companies to incorporate meditation and sleep-enhancement services as part of their offerings for a stress-free travel experience.
