OK, I choose Halle Berry.
Likely, though, Ms Berry would meantime wisely choose “any seat far, far away from Denis Horgan.” How will they square that?
Rachel Klein at Fodor’s tells us that choosing your seatmate could become the new thing in air travel.
“Travelers on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will soon be able to use their Facebook and LinkedIn profiles to find passengers with similar interests—as long as there’s mutual consent in viewing personal information. The service is expected to become available on KLM’s Facebook page in early 2012, but there’s been no word on whether there will be a fee.
“Earlier this year, Malaysia Airlines took the link between social media and seat selection one step further. In March, the carrier introduced MHbuddy, which allows passengers to book tickets through the airline’s Facebook page and find the ideal seatmate during check-in.”
Well, maybe. There is that little matter of the “mutual consent” to protect the innocents from having to endure such as me, inches from their elbow for long periods of time.
It seems like an interesting idea.
