Getting to the Future First

As times changes and technology changes, the demands of the passenger rises. They want more and more everyday and they will not be lenient about these demands.

“It’s my trip and I expect airlines to understand that I have taken time to plan every last detail.”

With the access of online bookings for flights and hotel dates, people are expecting airlines to be even more in touch with a travelers needs and growing demands. There aren’t any excuses anymore as technology is changing how travelers access and demand information and services.

Mika tells us that he has big dreams for the future and he knows that the world is his oyster. He pictures himself flying the world over and being able to reach every one of his dreams. He certainly looks like the type who’d jump from a moving plane, take up aviation classes, or guide a crashing plane to safety.

For this young man, the future is here and he wants everything around him to help him get to it first. He sees hologram meetings in the future and more socialised flying in the sky. He wants to meet people, talk to people and learn from people and he can’t imagine not being able to do all of this, even whilst on the plane.

“We spend our time Facebooking, twittering and skype-ing people living in other countries. I don’t see why the plane cannot be another avenue to the future. I mean if you are traveling 10 hours to Germany to go meet the Germans, why not start in the plane meeting other passengers. What if technology helped us better interact with our fellow travelers or with the cabin crew?“

Having an airline that offered savvy approaches to communication and a way to personally access and control one’s options would sit well with Mika. In a digital world, everything is interactive.

Give the future a lift off. Start in the sky.
