Pick Your Seat Mates With AirTroductions

by admin on October 11th, 2006

Bilingual colleague Marc Snyder sends along a recommendation for AirTroductions. It's kind of social networking meets air travel, as it's designed to help you pick the person sitting next to you on your next flight:

Make your next flight more interesting, and choose the person who sits next to you! Build a profile, enter your itinerary, match, and sit with them on your next flight! It's that simple! You’ve found AirTroductions. 

"Make your next flight more interesting?" I'm not sure about that pitch–it kind of evokes Cillian Murphy and a pit viper

It's a good idea. That said, there were several questions missing when I created a profile:

  • What's your dress size/waist size?
  • How often do you bathe?
  • Are you going to torture me with small talk?

If I were launching a site like this, it would be called MuteFlights.com, and it would be for seat mates who agree not to speak to each other for the duration of the flight.
