For those of us that travel every week for work, we know life on the road can get lonely. Our version of a trusting relationship is seeing the same gate agent at the airport every Monday morning and our version of a “spicing things up” is choosing an American flight over a Delta one (even though I believe you must have a missing chromosome if you make this swap, but I digress). We’ve thrown all ideas of self-satisfaction out the window because we’re deathly afraid of a TSA agent finding our vibrators, and while we really, REALLY wish they would, we realize that even our hundreds of thousands of SkyMiles just can’t keep us warm at night.
Queue the solution to our problem: AirDates. Positioning itself as the Tinder of flying, AirDates is the best thing to happen to consulting since the Financial Crisis – and it hasn’t even launched yet.
Here’s how it works, per D’Marge:
“[Users] post their travel itinerary before they board a plane, hence allowing passengers to hook up with others on the same trip – whether that be in the airport pre-flight or during mid-air flight is entirely up to the participants.
For the former escapade, passengers simply activate their geo-location at the airport, which allows them to find or chat to a potential flight buddy with benefits. If your game isn’t on point and you fail to seal the deal prior to boarding, you’re in luck.
AirDates uses a new platform called Multipeer WiFi which can connect smartphones without requiring the plane’s Wi-Fi or any other network. In other words your courtship to sexy times can be extended into your flight.”
And while the CDC has yet to be reached for comments, CEO Michael Richard believes this is “the safest place to have a date.” So whether you’re in for some good ol’ fashioned fun before taking off, hooking up mid-air, or a Mile High Club and chuck, this app is guaranteed to be the ultimate wingman (pun-intended). .

For a guy who flies all the time and never gets stuck next to the hot, single chick, the naughty side of me thinks this is promising.
Then the side of me that gets upgraded to 1st Class all the time doesn’t care, Bc I’m getting drunk for free regardless.
I’ve never seen a single attractive female on a flight
It’s all about the destination
Yeah this company totally sounds profitable…
United
You lost credibility when you claimed Delta was the better airline choice.
Flew Delta on Thursday, plane was incredible. Flew Delta on Sunday, plane was an embarrassment to aviation.
There is no middle ground.
Delta is either an adequate choice, or they lose your luggage. It’s a gamble every time you fly.
Only two kinds of bags: carry-on and lost.
Give me Southwest low fares or give me death
Upload your itinerary? Somebody is definitely gonna get robbed using this app, not saying it’s gonna be many people but some people will.
I don’t enjoy touching anything in the plane or at the airport anyway, like I want to be doing it with less clothes on. However, flirting and drinking with someone with a mutual layover would be nice.
every girl I’ve at the airport are complete wack jobs.. might because I’m sitting in the United club at EWR though EWR is full of nuts.
What we could really use is an app to find travel buddies. You input your job (verified by a work email address), and a bit about yourself. You match with people (friends or for hookups, whatever) and then you can post status updates about where you’ll be. The app notifies you if any of your matches will be in the same place as you at the same time. Then you message, make plans, etc.
Someone make this for me please.
