10 Airplane Conversation Starters

Airports can be exciting places to start a conversation. People from all over the world gather at the airport. You never know who you might meet. There are numerous ways to physically leave if talk becomes sour in an airport. Airplanes however, are not that convenient. This article explains the differences in starting a conversation on the ground verses being in the air as well as ten ways to make great conversation that will have you fly'n through the sky.

Airport conversation is do-able. It seems more difficult than on the airplane because it is harder to get someone to actually talk. But if you do get someone to yak-it up then you have a greater chance for a mutually rewarding conversations. That is in part do-to-the fact that it's easier to end the bad conversation compared to when you are stuck in your seat. Do not feel guilty for telling a stranger to have a nice flight, see ya in Denver, and hitting up the next magazine shop for a different conversation.

For instance, if you see a person and think, 'they might be down for nice conversation a a good beer.' Only it ends-up that they are a recovering alcoholic. Suddenly, your four hour layover has you knowing more about this person than either of you expected. Well you always have the option to fake your next flight, stumble away, and hide out until the coast is clear.

Unfortunately, there is not that much freedom on an airplane. The odds of have great conversation on the airplane are against you. There are too many variables involved. You do not choice who you sit next. The chances of having pleasant conversation on a flight depends on your odds of picking a good seat. If you really like to chat sit in the middle. You have two people to talk with, thus if one ends up being a dud than you have a whole new person on your other side.

You are on your flight, board as hell and want a little bit of conversation. Warning!!! You will have to sit next to this person the whole flight. If the conversation is good or bad that is your seat and you need to sit in it.
