Question:
How might we assist single travellers to meet similar MINDED individuals who also have had baggage* in their lives and want to be honest and upfront about it.
*the word ‘baggage’ in the above statement refers to emotional baggage
Current dating apps don’t seem to welcome honestly, miss leading age details and photos are common place.
Also as a concept within the travel industry, why couldn’t airlines sit singles together for short or long flights, an opportunity to get to know each other. With new disruptive technology like NDC (Near Distribution Capability) the communication between pax and airlines would be seamless.
There is also a great opportunity to develop a business networking app, why not be seated next to someone you want to do business with on a short or long flight.

The idea came to me when on a flight to Hamilton Island soon after my own relationship had ended. Why couldn't I be upfront and honest about my own baggage? (baggage upfront)
