Seat-Swapping Travel Apps

The 'Seateroo' App Helps Air Travelers Buy Better Seats

— January 23, 2016 — Tech
Knowing that many airplane passengers often get stuck with undesirable seating arrangements, 'Seateroo' was launched as a seat-swapping tool.

The app works in a way that lets passengers bid for a different seat with others who will be on the same flight. In addition to being able to upgrade to a better seat, travelers may also choose to use Seateroo for the purposes of saving money by choosing a more economical seat option.

Since airlines are often unable to accommodate requests to change seats, this app puts power back into the hands of travelers. The Seateroo app is like a marketplace for airline seats, which goes to show the role the sharing economy is playing in empowering people to work with others to achieve greater mutual benefits for all parties involved.
Trend Themes
1. Seat-swapping - Seat-swapping apps are becoming increasingly popular in the travel industry, creating new opportunities for airlines to differentiate their services.
2. Sharing Economy - The success of Seateroo showcases the power of the sharing economy and how it can be leveraged to empower consumers while creating new business models and revenue streams.
3. Mobile Travel Apps - Mobile travel apps like Seateroo represent a growing trend in the industry, offering travelers more convenience and control over their travel experience.
Industry Implications
1. Airline - Airlines can use seat-swapping apps as a tool to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty, as well as generate additional revenue by allowing passengers to bid for better seats.
2. Travel Technology - As the travel industry continues to shift towards digital solutions, innovative travel apps like Seateroo will play an increasingly important role in increasing efficiency and enhancing the overall travel experience.
3. Sharing Economy - The success of Seateroo highlights the potential for new startups to create sharing economy platforms in other industries, driving greater consumer empowerment and new opportunities for growth.
