For business or pleasure
KLM Dutch Royal Airlines is using social media to support its Meet & Seat boarding experience, which is designed to make it easy for passengers to connect with one another on flights, whether it's for business or social reasons.
KLM is using the Gigya Social Login system to support the Meet &Seat service, which allows users to see who else is on board their flight. When customers choose to opt in to Meet & Seat, KLM prompts them to log in socially and share their Facebook, Google+ or LinkedIn profile details with other participating passengers.
With Meet & Seat socially logged in flyers can see the profile details of other participating users, as well as their seat assignments. For a more social flight experience, Meet & Seat customers can choose seat assignments next to other passengers based on their social profile information.
By offering new ways for passengers to learn about one another through social media and incorporating social data capture to obtain valuable personal data on its customers, KLM says it is "building a valuable knowledge base of its customers".
Rob Zwerink, director of development at KLM, said: "Gigya's Social Login and consumer management technologies equipped our business with the tools to create a personal in-flight experience. In the future, we look forward to collaborating more with Gigya to understand our customers better and leverage this knowledge to create even deeper, more personal experiences."
KLM is a well established tracker of passengers that use social media to communicate. It has a dedicated social media team who are known to occasionally respond to Twitter messages or other social media posts in person at Schipol Airport in Amsterdam, or electronically.

In early 2020, I had the pleasure of staying at the newly opened Fullerton Hotel in Sydney. It was on this trip I first became aware of the Fullerton’s commitment to brand storytelling.
If you’ve been around advertising long enough, you’ve probably seen (or written) a slide which says: “They won’t remember what you say, they’ll remember how you made them feel.” But it’s wrong. Our understanding of how emotion is used in advertising has been ill informed and poorly applied.
The launch of a new brand, or indeed a rebrand, is a transformation to be greeted with fanfare. So why is it that once the brand has launched, the brand execution phase can also be the moment at which you kill its creativity?
Algorithms that can make sense of unstructured data is the future. It's great to see experts in the field getting together to discuss AI.
