Airport Game

Hey guys... longtimer lurker, first time poster here,
So, what do you all think about airport game? Anyone had any luck?
I spend several hours a week milling around airport terminals, often my home airport (LAX). Also, I'm a pilot so I'm usually in full uniform. Any suggestions on openers or lines to use?

Not easy but like anywhere else I think its possible. I'm a pilot too and I'm usually in uniform going to work and casual when I'm going home (I fly for a fractional). Been my experience that the best place to chat them up is around the food court areas either in line or sitting relatively close, not the full serve restaurants and if you're in uniform then the bars are usually out. Conversation is easy if you're sitting close by: "going anywhere fun?". Some airports are better than others.. I think LGA is a good one. I've noticed several cool looking sushi bars at ORD but I'm usually zipping through there to make a connection. Boarding area.. not as easy but possible. Seems like they're usually glued to their phone and earphones in at that point plus there is usually people all around so that makes it a little more tricky.
I think there is another thread on this. You fly for one of the majors?

Airport/airplane game is so much fun. There's something about going "somewhere else" that makes women more open to hooking up with a dashing stranger. The biggest issue here is logistics.
I'd say just approach girls, strike up conversations and find out where they're going. If you're en route to the same place, get her number and schedule a meet up later. And if you're a pilot you already have a huge leg up. I'd be careful though. If you meet the wrong girl who's in a foul mood and you're in full uniform, you might be talking to HR later.

I came up with an airport opener a long time ago. I am not sure this would work so well coming from a person in uniform, they might think you are being serious. So you'd have to have a huge smirk and make it clear you are joking around.
"Excuse me miss, but the alert level is up to orange, and you're standing there really suspiciously. I'm gonna have to ask you a few questions."
I was maybe 20 years old when I tried it on a girl who was about 18 (I hope) and she was absolutely eating it up. Then I noticed I was getting a death stare from a woman nearby, and realized that was her mom.

Airport is very good at the night for approaching because girls wait bored for their cheap flights.
Good places to approach are the cafes and the areas close to duty free where the girls check items.
