KLM To Try Match-Making Mile High Club

Flying alone is like playing seatmate lottery, with the certainty that you’re going to be sandwiched between two complete strangers.

But one airline is trying to change that, by putting travellers in control of finding seatmates who share common interests.

Dutch airline, KLM plans to pilot a "meet and seat" service next year that allows fliers to choose their seats based on the Facebook and Linkedin profiles of fellow travellers. It aims to work by linking people’s profiles to their check-in information when they check-in online.

There will be an opt-out option for flyers who do not wish to share their profile information.

KLM says it is still working on the final details and has not revealed if it might charge for the service, which has been hailed by some as mile-high "match-making".
