Floak

Inspiration:

There are around 2 Billion flight trips taken in the US with an average flight duration of 4.5 hours and 6 hours if you count the boarding time. That time is too short for taking a nap nor too little time to do something you like, making flight travels boring.

What it does:

Floak is a match-making app that helps travelers to find and spend time with "like-minded people" during flight travel and beyond! All you have to do is enter your flight details, swipe over the people you like from the same flight, chat with them starting 3 hours before the flight departure time and we'll let you take it from there.

Dating, Networking, Friendships?

Just Floak it!
