Hey guys! Big thanks to Violeta for hunting us.
As a frequent flyer in both business and personal travel, I often wonder who my fellow passengers are, where they are off too, what they will do at their destinations. So we created MileHi, to allow socialising and networking during otherwise large periods of downtime while in the air, and in the run up to a flight.
Add your flights. See who’s on your plane and other similar flights to your destination. Browse their profiles and see who you’d like to socialise with.
Would love to get Product Hunts feedback :)
@oassoulin Thanks! We have had a few requests for this today on here and twitter. Its definitely on the list, however will have to increase its priority based on the requests. We have seen it on FireChat and Jott, and think it works really well, however as the lifespan of a flight chat for us is potentially months, the flight itself is a very small part of that. Watch this space :)
Hey Chris, you should check getwingman.co slightly more geared towards airplane dating but seems close to your project
Airdates.co as well...
Long list but I really like the idea.
@fiessedouard Hi Fiess, thanks very much :) We actually stumbled across the Wingman guys recently. I think they are both similar, but they have narrowed their sights on the whole Tinder / dating aspect. This is something people can do on MileHi if they wish, however we believe there are huge opportunities in the business networking space, and general holiday makers too.
Best of luck to both of them, and it validates our idea nicely, however we think there's a whole host of different use cases for MileHi. Being niche is good, but being multiple nested niches may restrict their potential too much.
Since there were 37.4 million flights scheduled in 2014. How many people do you think will need to sign up to get at least 2 random people on any given flight?
@walterareid I am glad you brought this up! This was a topic of hot discussion during our planning and research phases :) We recognised this early on, and at this stage have covered this off by letting you browse flights to the same destination +- 24 hours. So if you are off to Ibiza for example, and want to meet some party people, any other global flights TO Ibiza in that time frame will also let you swipe left and right and join in the chat there too.
We also have a large expansion for the chat rooms planned, focused around chatting topics (business, holiday, partying, etc), as well as airport centric chat rooms. This should increase the chance of encounters greatly.
