First, you choose to link your social profile, which can be Facebook or LinkedIn. You can imagine that you share your LinkedIn profile during business trips, and your Facebook profile during a trip to a sunny destination. You can then indicate which data you want to share within Meet & Seat. Only your profile picture, also your last name, or also your education? Finally, you can choose to select the languages you speak. That may make the disappointment a little less great if it turns out that your Chinese fellow passenger does not speak Dutch after all. So you have full control over the information you share.
After you have linked your profile, you can – as you normally can – view the plane map.brother cell phone list Where people have already linked their profile and chosen a seat, you will see a photo appear. You click on their photo and can see who they are and what they are going to do. Are they on a business or leisure trip, and are they going to that same conference or are they just going shopping?
You choose your seat and confirm. Then it is up to you to decide whether you want to make further contact via LinkedIn or Facebook, or whether you leave it at the meeting at the airport or on the plane.
Objections & privacy
The biggest concerns that many people have already expressed, are about privacy. KLM indicated in its press conference that it deals with this very clearly in the following way:
You decide which data you share and which not. Furthermore, it is not mandatory to participate, by default you do not participate in Meet & Seat.
Data is only available to other Meet & Seat participants, and only to participants on the same flight.
Your data will be deleted after your flight has taken place and will not be used again.
The data is stored in a secure environment. Thank goodness.
