At Airtroductions, the idea is to meet someone to sit next to on your next flight. It could be that you want to meet a new lover, friend or business contact.
You post your profile, create an itinerary and search for someone compatible. If you find someone you would like to meet, you send five bucks to Airtroductions and they hook you up by email.
