Latvian carrier Air Baltic has become the launch airline of Satisfly’s new intelligent assigned seating product SeatBuddy.
Through the product passengers are able to select a preferred flight mood and desired seat neighbour profile. The system automatically identifies and allocates the ideal “seat buddy” based on travellers preferences. The service is initially available on flights to three European countries including Finland and Estonia.
Under the scheme passengers register to SeatBuddy through the Air Baltic website and define their flight preference. Travellers seeking a quiet flight with a silent environment can benefit from intelligent seating assignments, by selecting a relax or work flight mood. Passengers in a social mood will have the opportunity to opt for “business networking” or “easy chat” to be seated with a like-minded buddy with a similar mood.
