The charm of speaking to strangers at airports mostly lies in the comfort of knowing we will probably never see them again, which is why we become either brutally honest (“Let me tell you all about my stunted emotional state/unattractive medical condition”) or brutally imaginative (“Yes, I am married/play concertina in a pirate metal band”).
Do not squander this opportunity for free advice (be honest) or free validation (be imaginative)! The trick is to be as honest/imaginative as you want without ever exchanging names!
