Hook-up apparatuses are a dime a dozen these days, but the Wingman app takes things one step further, connecting you with attractive people on your flight.
Instead of getting obnoxiously drunk and flipping through trashy tabloids, you now have the option of chatting with sexy strangers. And who knows? You might be christened as the newest member of the infamous mile-high club.The app operates much like fan-favorite 'Tinder,' except that it also accesses your airline and flight information.
Though creator Gabe Whaley is unconvinced that the app will cause people to actually have sex on their flights, there is a definite emphasis on the mysterious, clandestine nature of it all. If you're interested in spicing up your weekend conference, download this app and let the sparks fly.
