Smart: Planely App Introduces You To The Other People On Your Flight

Martin told me that SXSW attendees are applying this new application now. "We're supporting SXSW right now and getting some great feedback from people meeting up at 30,000ft and on the ground!"

Nick Martin realized that airports and planes are incredibly busy scenes full of people you’ve never met. Perhaps, you’ve wondered who those people were. Maybe they have similar interests to you (e.g. music, film, sport, business, traveling, food etc)? Have you ever sat next to someone you’d have preferred not to? Ever spotted someone that you would’ve loved to be sitting next to, but couldn’t?


Martin created a solution called Planely.com, “Whenever you’re traveling by plane, tell us your flight, and we’ll connect you with other Planely Fliers who are on the same flight, or at the same departure or arrival airports as you.”

I asked Martin for some success or examples of the Planely in full throttle.
