99 Lives Presents: Airplane Mode Lisbon #002
🇵🇹 Welcome to Airplane Mode Lisbon #002 🛫
A new, but vintage dinner series full of connections without distractions.
In 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.
Join us for the 2nd edition of Airplane Mode Lisbon, trading in your phone for a glass, a plate, and the most foreign thing of all in 2026, eye contact!

📋 FORMAT
To 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:
No Phones Allowed. Presence is the price of admission.
When 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.
In 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.
Everyone 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 you’ve made.

🚨 Important Notes
🙏 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 don’t 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)
🍱 Food allergies or preferences? Please let me know in advance. I’ll do my best to accommodate, though this is a small, home-cooked operation — so flexibility is appreciated.
1️⃣ 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 shouldn’t be an issue! :)
🚫 Cancellations: We know life happens. If you can’t make it, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance so we can open the spot to someone else. Please understand because of the nature of this event & costs, this is a hard rule.
Thank you for your understanding 🙏
