How accurate are the movie's stats?

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Netflix’s Love at First Sight shares a large amount of data through its narrator, who doubles as fairy godmother played by Jameela Jamil, making the rom-com stand out among the many others purportedly telling a tale of love at first sight. Hadley and Oliver meet on an overnight plane to London because Hadley’s tardiness — which supposedly happens 21 percent of the time — gets her kicked out of her original flight.

With statistics being the way Oliver processes the events in his life and his academic focus, the narrator often chimes in with the probability Hadley and Oliver have of falling in love in an airport, meeting again, or walking away from the love of their life. While it would be highly unlikely for the probabilities to be exact or realistic, especially considering the many variables at play, Love at First Sight makes the sharing of the data a habitual peculiarity.

A 2017 Dutch study from Groningen University by Florian Zsok et al. interviewed 396 individuals while trying to define the phenomenon of love at first sight.

Did Hadley & Oliver Really Only Have A 0.2% Chance Of Meeting Again? Netflix’s Love at First Sight mentions multiple statistics about Hadley and Oliver, chiefly that they have a 2% chance of finding love in an airport, a 0.2% chance of their families having mutual friends, and less than a 6% chance of seeing each other again. By the time the narrator mentions the stat, Hadley and Oliver have already met once, so they would only need to meet one other time.
