I spend a lot of time in airports mostly for work and was wondering how you guys play airport game?

I've only just started to make an effort, and it hasn't worked so far but I have learnt the following things:

*Location of where you sit at the gate is key, I try to sit with free seats either side and facing the general direction of where you can see people approaching. Generally I get there early when it's pretty empty, but it can also be beneficial to come later and sit next to people you want to open.

*Dress - I always dress nicely when travelling for pleasure, but i've found this puts you out of reach for younger girls since they think you're older (im 25 but already look and act older unfortunately).

What do you guys do? I'm only learning, but will be good to share experiences.

I never bother, as im usually jacked up on Xanax of Valium to knock me out for the flight. Also most flights are two legs (that I take anyway) so the chances of you two both going to the same destination is unlikely

You have the basics down. I've tried to make airports work having previously been a frequent flyer, but the ROI is very weak. The issue is that airports have very few beautiful women, the vast majority on any given day are familes or business men.

The lounges are undoubtedly the best place for finding hot women. You've got free alcohol, common ground, just being there means you're privileged. I realize nor everyone has access to lines but at some airports you can buy access if you have the right credit card.

outside that, shops on the high - end and restaurants with bar seating are your best bet. I wouldn't bother with the gate though. There's just to low percentages in hoping there will be a hottie on your particular flight. Better to go for the long game, get someone's contact info and see if your schedules can match down the roa.

Granted I've made this work ONCE in all my years. Airports are simply a tough environment, people have to much going on. These days I just go about my business and if something falls in my lap I run with it. I wouldn't upset my pre-flight routine to chase tail in the airport any more though.

Ive tried it once, and as someone said above the chances of someone going to the same destination as you are slim but for the sake of gaming or approaching you can do it.

Yes seating is particularly important. My tactic is to wait until people take a seat by the gates and then I sit near them.

I opened a girl by asking if she could take care of my luggage while I went to the restroom although a little risky you can come back and start a conversation.

Another way I opened was by sitting near a girl (by the gate) and I opened her by casually saying "it's sad to leave isin't it?" I think it's pretty much a universal opener in an airport scenario.

That is all the experience I have with airport game and they usually lead to an email exchange becauee of course exchanging numbers would be a hassle considering the difference in international phone numbers.

Aside from approaching practice, what's the point of airport game if the likelihood of a bang is so small?

[Vicious]

Likelihood of getting the bang is ALWAYS small no matter if you're in a night club or an airport. Show me a guy who only approaches when his likelihood of getting the bang is high and I'll show you someone on the sidelines.

[blkgatsby]

Right, but I'm getting at the likelihood of ever seeing the person again. Say you hit it off, but she lives in a different country…Then what? I've been in a similar situation with a 9 and it SUCKS to not finish when you know a bang is imminent if you had the luxury of seeing her again.

[Vicious]

So in order to avoid a situation where you might not be able to follow up on a connection you'd rather... do nothing?

Sounds like a defense mechanism.

[blkgatsby]

…and this sounds like a pointless endeavor. If I'm not getting a bang or a connection I could follow up on, what's the point of approaching?

[Courage Reborn]

I like airport game.

Main reason; you have a captive audience. She isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Often times she's bored, and open to a friendly conversation...which you can slowly but surely turn more & more sexual.

Waiting area;

I scan the whole gate area for talent. There is ALWAYS a hot girl or 2 waiting for a flight with no one seated next to her.

I just go sit down next to her. Turn my head and say, "excuse me...do you know how the wifi works here?" Then just transition to "oh cool...so you flying any place good?" Rapport for 10, 20 minutes. Then start talking about men & women, relationships, and ultimately sex. Amp up the sex talk. Get her wet with regular words. Same as regular day game.

I have made out with a bunch of girls this way in the waiting area, and fooled around with a handful in the bathroom.


On the plane;

For US domestic, fly Southwest Air whenever possible. Reason being, NO assigned seating. You can scan the boarding line for talent. Open while on line with, "hey, do you know if this plane has TV's" or whatever, just to start the convo. If she's game, sit next to her, and eventually turn the convo sexual. I've gotten 2 handjobs under the cover this way.

Mile high club member too. The most fun part is sneaking past the flight attendants and scheming how not to get caught

[Balkanite]

I second the Southwest suggestion. Flights to Las Vegas are pure gold...locate target, sit next to target, secure target's #, meet target at x . Bingo bango

If you're a frequent flyer with lounge access, you can usually bring a guest in with you. A lot of chicks have never been in one of the lounges, so just find one in the waiting area for your flight, then tell her about free drinks in the lounge and how the airline gave you some special card because you fly too much, etc so let's go rip them off by drinking all their drinks.

[gringochileno]

Elderly and situational openers are king. People are usually bored as shit at the airport and most wouldn't mind having someone to talk to but there's also a big social barrier between you since you're literally a bunch of random strangers crossing paths in the night. I got a girl's phone number once after I accidentally spilled ketchup on my jeans and asked if she had a tide-to-go pen. The hardest part is striking up a conversation (and obviously if you're not going to the same place this is hard to follow through on) but people are more open to chat than you think.

You can head to the bar too, but that's usually a sad scene.

[vitesse]

I've done a bit of recon and had a bit of experience (just chatting to girls/guys in general) as I've hit the airport nearly 180 times over the last 3 years (yeh it sucks, but it pays the bills). Girls are keen to talk, but I am not too sure of how to invite them into the lounge in a non creepy way. I generally have a chat with them and then get pissed off at myself for not escalating. I'm new at this, but still trying to work out the scenario in my head.

CR: Thanks for the openers.

Paninaro: I'm a frequent flyer but I avoid lounges unless I want to shower or get drunk on champagne since most people in there are business travelers and the hot chicks not in the lounge (unless you want late 20s/30s business chicks).

I've got a few flights soon, hopefully I can road test this info and ill post back with how it went.

[caracal]

Airport game is good practice even if the likelihood of a bang is low: you've got a captive audience, your target is probably bored and you'll probably never see her again.

That said if you're on the last leg of a trip to a holiday destination (Cancun, Phuket etc) it's pretty easy to spot the chicas who are there for fun and leaving their inhibitions behind.

Was just thinking about starting a thread on this, so I'll revive this one. I've had some great successes with airport game, but it's always random. I agree that there's a big chance that she'll be headed to a different destination or living somewhere else than you, but when it works it's great. The big advantage is that you can meet girls you would never have a chance to meet anywhere else (girls who never go out, girls who have a boyfriend but are looking) and you have value, because you're there for a reason and not necessarily trying to pickup.

I think the best chance is if you spot hotties traveling solo on your flight, you can stand next to them at the baggage claim and meet them, this way the location problem is 50% resolved (she either lives there or is visiting). I've also met girls while waiting for the departure of the flight back home. Another way is if you go to the airport to pick up somebody. You arrive early and can scan the waiting room for interesting targets. I got a girlfriend once this way and we went out for a year.

If you're waiting for somebody to arrive in a Western city on a flight coming from a poosy paradise destination, you can meet girls from that destination who live in your city. I've done this recently waiting for flights from Prague and noticed that sometimes there would have been interesting girls to meet if I hadn't been waiting for a girl to arrive. The opportunity is so good here, that you can just do this even when you aren't really waiting for somebody to arrive (haven't tried that).

Otherwise, for the in-flight experience, you have to just be lucky and sit next to a good target. Recently a girl who i had chatted with on SA sent me a whatsapp the day I arrived home that i was sitting one person away from her on the plane and didn't recognize her. I did notice her and I thought it was some model but I could never see her face full on. We hadn't met in person, but when we had chatted before I didn't want to meet her because she wanted to get paid. After the in-flight experience she decided she would meet normally, I guess sitting not noticing her was enough of a neg to get her interested.

I recently sat next to some Spanish chick on a flight to the U.K.

She was reading through some boring as fuck looking tender document for a power station or something. I teased her about it being so boring and she was more than delighted about getting away from reviewing it and having someone to talk to.

Like other commenters have said above, it's a captive audience, they've got nowhere to go and if your chat is good it's a good opportunity.

[goncalo999]

i maded out with a palestinian girl in a flight from Warsaw to Kiev. Just asked her if she knew any techniques to avoid headphones' wires to twine. Again, she was delighted to have someone to talk to

[Spartacus]

Have a decent convo on plane
