A newspaper. Gum. A bottle of water.

These aren’t the only things travelers are picking up at the airport nowadays.

“Share a drink with an attractive stranger in the totally safe environment of a public airport,” reads the home page of the new website Meetattheairport.com. While it resembles mainstream dating sites like Match.com and OkCupid — members create profiles with their photos, age, body type — Meet at the Airport also asks users to include the name of their local airport, the time they’ll be there or the location and time that they’ll be at any other terminal in the world.

It’s among a rash of new apps and sites designed to connect travelers with one another (or with locals) for friendship, love or something in between. Whether you’re looking for a tour guide, a travel buddy or a frequent-flying soul mate, here’s how to find a site that’s right for you.
