This new app is basically Tinder for airports

Waiting in the airport for your flight to board might be one of the most boring experiences of all time. God forbid your flight gets delayed. Now, there's no need to dread spending those long hours all alone.

Btrfly is an app designed for meeting people in an airport with similar flight details.

Hailed as the ‘Tinder for airports,’ Btrfly allows users to plug in their flight details or airport, then they're provided with a list of other users in the same airport/with similar flight details. Users are able to contact each other through an in-app messaging service.

You are encouraged to try to coordinate seats, cabs, or even just a pre-flight drink.

The app's description says: 'Whether you are a business traveller en route to a conference or a music fan headed to a festival looking to make new friends before the event and maybe even share a cab from the airport, Btrfly brings travellers together.'

Speaking to The Independent, Cenk Gurz, CEO of Btrfly, said: “As a frequent traveller, I have met all kinds of people at airports, and even come across a few great opportunities with interesting strangers.”

“Btrfly aims to provide travellers with a tool that takes the awkwardness out of meeting strangers while travelling.”

Btrfly is focused more on making friendly connections than dating. They promote it as a way to connect with business associates taking the same flight, or even just other bored travellers rather than those with romantic notions.

Given this is a location-based app we expect that more lascivious meetings/new mile-high club inductees are surely inevitable.
