Next time you’re bored and waiting for a flight, why don’t you turn your boarding pass into a bit of boarding… passion? It might sound like the plot of a rom-com, but finding love at the airport is an increasing phenomenon on TikTok. Let’s face it, you’ve always got an hour or two to kill, and — particularly if you’re travelling solo — people-watching is part of the fun of travel. So it makes sense that if someone attractive catches your eye, you might want to try and strike up an acquaintance.
After all, they’ll be doing the same as you: sipping on an overpriced coffee, scrolling through their phone… so why not strike up a conversation? Rather than Newark or LAX, your next destination could be romance! But which US airports are the best for making a connection, and which could leave your love life, well, grounded?
DatingAdvice decided to carry out a survey of 3,000 single travelers to rank the best and worst airports for sparking a potential love story, finding America’s most romantic runways as well as its least flirt-friendly terminals.
The survey revealed that Charlotte Douglas as one of the most likely places to meet a potential partner:
#21 Charlotte Douglas International, Charlotte
Charlotte Douglas International blends Southern charm with urban energy. Imagine meeting someone while discussing NASCAR or sharing travel tips for exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains. Romance here is as polished and friendly as Charlotte’s Queen City nickname.
