Discover your seat neighbors before you fly.

Flybuddyz is an iOS app that helps airline passengers connect with their seat neighbors. Users upload their photos during signup, which become visible to all passengers on their flight. Browse the seat map to see photos of other passengers, view their profiles, and choose your seat based on shared interests.
