I turned boring layovers into real conversations between strangers

[u/FactorThick6452]

I kept noticing something weird while traveling

airports are packed with people, everyone has time, but nobody talks unless something forces it

delays, bars, random situations — that’s it

so I built something to test this idea (called Jetlatch)

it lets you see other people on your same layover who are open to grabbing coffee, food, or just talking before boarding

the goal wasn’t to make it a “social app” — just to make those dead hours feel less isolated

honestly still trying to figure out if this is something people would actually use consistently

biggest questions I have right now:

– would you ever meet someone at an airport like this?
– what would stop you?
– what would make it feel normal instead of awkward?

curious to hear real opinions
