Advice on meeting wealthy individuals at airports

For those whose criteria include income, meeting someone while traveling might be beneficial. Airline passengers generally have higher incomes, and those with lounge access may have even higher incomes due to discretionary spending by themselves or their employers or possession of premium credit cards.

Despite this, airline lounges are not as exclusive as some might think. United Clubs do not offer the same level of exclusivity found in Polaris lounges, American Airlines Flagship Dining, or Qantas First lounges at LAX.

Interestingly, there have been more proposals and weddings involving Southwest Airlines than other domestic U.S. carriers. This suggests that perhaps it’s about "LUV" and the chance encounters with fellow passengers or someone intentionally sitting next to you due to Southwest's open seating policy.
