Flirt & Fly! Best Airports to Find Dates People are finding a way to entertain themselves when the plane is late (wink! wink!). And they aren't reading a book. They're flirting.
The best airports for making a "connection" with a hot new date are Philadelphia International, Newark International and John F. Kennedy International. The worst airports to flirt and fly are Oakland International, San Jose International and McCarran International (Las Vegas). That's the word from a survey from AXE and Sperling's Best Places that was conducted by StrategyOne. Why is Philly No. 1? Talk about turning a negative into a positive! Philadelphia International Airport has some of the nation's longest and most frequent flight delays--32 percent of all flights, averaging 60 minutes. Getting stuck in "The Airport of Brotherly Love" gives you a chance to hang your hat in one of 16 bars and seven lounges or grab a cheese steak at one of 57 restaurants. If you've got an extra-long layover, impress the object of your desire with smooth moves at the airport's magic shop. Top 10 best airports for "making a connection": - Philadelphia International

The airports deemed the worst to score a date basically have too few amenities, such as bars and restaurants, or too many children in tow. Who is getting together in an airport? Nearly one in 10 adults has either gone out with someone he or she met at the airport or during a flight or knows someone who has. The survey also showed people are taking advantage of their flight time: one-third of adults would rather sit next to someone they find attractive or interesting than have an entire row to themselves. --From the Editors at Netscape
