Survey shows best airports for making your (love) connection

If you think about it, all of the stars are aligned at an airport.

Get a group of people together with a) a common interest in travel, b) extra time on their hands, and c) good ol' human chemistry, and you've got a petri dish with love connections in the making.

But a new survey argues that not every airport is equal in opportunity. Oh no.

The top three airports are Newark, JFK, and Philadelphia. Foreign rendezvous aren't excluded, mind you. The first three international listings are Paris' Charles de Gaulle, London's Heathrow, and Rome's Fiumicino.

The 33 largest international airports were rated on on-time statistics, historical weather conditions, and amenities (bars, restaurants, activities) per person per airport.

For example, a connection is more likely to happen if you have a long layover at a place with great restaurant options.

Along with the report on AXE's Facebook page are suggestions for making the most of your wait time, such as: "Spark conversation by casually pulling out your small wad of left-over foreign currency."

The survey was created by Sperling's BestPlaces, and commissioned by Axe (makers of grooming products for men).
