Safety Center
Last updated: 12 June 2026
Airports are among the safest public places there are — staffed, monitored, and full of people. AirportDate is built to keep it that way. Every safety feature here is free, always.
If you're in immediate danger
Call 999 (UK) or your local emergency number, or find any member of airport staff — every airport has police on site. Do this first; report to us after.
How we keep the app real
- Everyone is phone-verified before they appear in Discover.
- Selfie verification before the first message— a live selfie must match the profile photos, so the person you're talking to looks like their pictures and has re-proven it within the last six months.
- Your location is approximate — terminal at most, never GPS. Your phone number is never shown to anyone.
- Behind the scenes, automated systems flag mass-liking, duplicate photos and other creep patterns for human review.
Blocking
Block anyone from their profile or chat. Blocking is instant and silent: they aren't notified, they can no longer see you or contact you, and they don't appear in your feed again. Unmatching removes the conversation without blocking.
Reporting
Report a profile, a conversation or a single message — the report flow is on every one of them. Reports are confidential; the person reported never learns who reported them. Include what happened and we'll review it against the commitments below. Repeated reports trigger automatic re-verification and cooldowns while we review.
Our response commitments
| Report category | First response | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Child sexual abuse material, or imminent risk of harm | 4 hours | 24 hours |
| Harassment, hate, illegal activity | 24 hours | 72 hours |
| Fake profiles, spam | 72 hours | 7 days |
Child sexual abuse material is reported to the relevant authorities, as the law requires.
Meeting someone: the playbook
- Meet at a public point inside the airport — a café, a lounge, a landmark. The “Meet Here” button in chat suggests safe public spots.
- Stay in public areas. Don't leave the airport together on a first meet.
- Tell someone where you are; share your trip in-app if you want — it has an always-visible stop button.
- Keep your boarding pass, passport and bags with you.
- Trust your instincts. If something feels off, walk away — and if someone made you uncomfortable, report them so they can't do it to the next person.
