KLM plan some kind of virtual seat dating nonsense

KLM plan some kind of virtual seat dating nonsense:

There’s nothing worse than being stuck next to a complete tosspot on a flight, but if KLM’s new big idea ‘gets off the ground’, you’ll be able to find out exactly what kind of tosspot you’ll be sitting next to.

The popular airline are launching a scheme called ‘meat and seat’ which will give fliers access to their fellow travellers Facebook and Linkedin profiles, as long as said travellers have consented to have their details published.

The full details are still under wraps and KLM won’t be launching it until 2012, but it’s probably well worth compiling yourself a fake profile that makes you look like one of the most heinous individuals alive – it’ll guarantee you plenty of elbow space when no one opts to sit next to you.
