99 Lives Presents: Airplane Mode Lisbon
βπ΅πΉ Welcome to Airplane Mode Lisbon π«
βA new, but vintage dinner series full of connections without distractions.
βIn a moment where connections feel fleeting and transactional, 99 Lives wants to reduce your screen time & fill your soul, with good food, great people, and even better conversations.
βJoin us for the 1st edition of Airplane Mode Lisbon, trading in your phone for a glass, a plate, and the most foreign thing of all in 2025, eye contact!
β-----
βπ FORMAT
βTo keep things fresh and exciting, each dinner format will be a bit different, no two dinners will ever be the same, but one thing you can count on is this:
βNo Phones Allowed. Presence is the price of admission.
βWhen you arrive at the dinner, you will be asked to put your phone on Airplane Mode & place it in the box provided. By signing up for the dinner, you are committing to true presence, leaving your phone behind for a few hours and focusing on the people, food and drinks in front of you.
βIn between the food, drinks, and discussion topic for the night, there will be 2 different mixer moments to get everybody mixing and meeting each other in a unique, low-pressure way.
βEveryone will be free to grab the phone for the last 15-20 minutes to take photos, videos and exchange contacts with any amazing new connections youβve made.
β---
βDinner, snacks and some drinks will be provided, but you are more than welcome to bring any extra drinks for yourself or to share with others.
βThe address to this home-cooked experience will be provided via email 48 hours before hand.
βWe look forward to rich, connected and screen-free Friday night with you!
βStay Curious π

βπ¨ Important Notes
βπ The experience is everything to us: The experience is everything for us and our guests, so while we understand that some people have partners, kids, or jobs to attend to, we kindly ask you donβt attend if you cannot stay away from your phone for the 3 hours we are together. (If you really want to come, but believe you have a special case for phone use, please contact me ahead of time to discuss)
βπ± Food allergies or preferences? Please let me know in advance. Iβll do my best to accommodate, though this is a small, home-cooked operation β so flexibility is appreciated.
β1οΈβ£ Want to bring a +1?: To get things right, the first few dinners will be curated and invite-only, however if you are invited and want to bring a +1, please reach out. It shouldnβt be an issue! :)
βπ« Cancellations: We know life happens. If you canβt make it, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance so we can open the spot to someone else.
βThank you for your understanding π
