Travel Terminals: Enhancing Passenger Experience with Scent Marketing

Our sense of smell is our most powerful and influential sense that can be used to generate excitement, create lasting memories and even reduce anxiety or stress experienced by passengers. Scents can be diffused through terminals, waiting lounges, aircraft cabins and cruise ships to help passengers unwind. Smell is the single sense that is fully developed at birth and is connected to the right side of the brain that processes emotions and memories. Scent Marketing is a creative way to improve the evaluation of an airport, terminal lounge or cruise ship.

“THE PRESENCE OF SCENT CAN REDUCE PASSENGER ANXIETY”

Yansei University, Seoul 

Scenting for Sydney Airport, Train Stations, and Cruise Ships

In the bustling travel hubs like Sydney Airport, encompassing both domestic and international terminals, as well as train stations and cruise ships, creating a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere is crucial. The use of scent marketing in these travel terminals can significantly enhance the passenger experience. By diffusing pleasant scents through airport terminals, train service lounges, and cruise ship cabins, passengers can unwind and feel more at ease, transforming their travel experience. 

Reducing Passenger Anxiety in Airports and Terminals

According to research from Yansei University in Seoul, the presence of a carefully chosen scent can reduce passenger anxiety, a common issue in high-stress environments like airports. At Sydney Airport, for instance, passengers moving through the domestic terminal, international terminal, or waiting at the airport station for their train can benefit from a calming olfactory environment. This approach can make the process of check-in, security screening, and waiting for flights more pleasant. 

Improving the Travel Experience

The strategic use of scent in travel terminals, including the departures area, arrivals level, and check-in counters, can create lasting memories and positively influence passengers’ perceptions of their journey. For those traveling internationally, the experience of passing through international arrivals or waiting in the departures level can be significantly improved with a soothing scent, making the start or end of their journey more enjoyable.
