About this app

HangAround | The App Connecting Travellers In Airports Around The World.

Bored at the airport? Meet other like-minded travellers who could be new friends, travel companions, tour guides, business contacts - or even lovers!

The HangAround App allows you to meet someone while waiting for your flight and make friends from all over the world.

Connect with other travellers or flight attendants and pilots, grab a drink, discuss travel plans, hobbies and interests, split an Uber, share business contacts, organise future travel itineraries - the possibilities are endless. You could even be invited into an airline lounge to pass the time in even more comfort.

It’s really simple:

Step 1: Log in using Facebook

Step 2: Enter your flight details or choose your destination and how long you will be at the airport

Step 3: Choose your chat mate from a list of other people Hanging Around in the same airport. Filter by mutual friends, destination, age, gender and more.

Step 4: Find out about other travellers’ story by checking out their profile

Step 5: Start chatting and start your next adventure!

Enough of the endless scrolling through Facebook and Instagram while waiting around in an airport terminal. The truly wholesome, emotional experiences come face-to-face. Connect with others and start creating your own experiences. Share your travel tales and tips while learning from the billions of wanderlust travellers who’ve travelled to places before you in ways you never imagined you could.

Don’t wait until you arrive at your destination to start your holiday, it can begin from the moment you arrive at your destination. Sit down and grab a coffee or a drink with someone new in the friendly, safe and public environment of the airport.

OUR MISSION at HangAround is to remove the light, white glow of a phone from the face of a bored traveller and replace it with the colourful curiosity that comes with sharing extraordinary and unpredictable experiences with intimate interaction.

OUR VISION is a world where the millions of people who travel through airports across the globe each day can share the incredibly intimate, personal exciting adventures in a way that only they can.

It’s a world where real people aren’t afraid of exploring and navigating all ends of the earth through the experiences of others.

It’s a world where travellers can find people who, together, want to freely contribute to the irresistible wisdom that is aligned with wanderlust.
