KLM's new "meet and seat" feature will soon be allowing travelers to pick seating arrangements though social networking profiles.
The service works by linking Facebook and LinkedIn profiles to ticket check-in information. This would allow passengers to pick their seating arrangements by common interests or business connections. The service will be free.
Fear not social media nay-sayers; if you do not wish to participate, you don't have to. This service would only work for those who would like to open their social information to other passengers on the same flight.
