Most people have heard of Internet dating services, but one company is taking the concept to new heights -- literally.

A 34-year-old man from San Jose who just moved back to the area is among the smiling faces and interesting personalities listed on the Web waiting to find a match. But this isn't your average hookup.

It's all about giving new meaning to the phrase "the friendly skies" by allowing air travelers to search online for fellow passengers who want to meet up in person on a particular flight.

It's done through a Web site called AirTroductions.com. The site was created by Peter Shankman after he found himself seated next to Miss Texas on a recent flight.

"She was phenomenal and she was the nicest person," Shankman said. "We had a great conversation and the four-hour flight took a very, very short amount of time."
New member Linda Dickerhoof, of Arlington, Va., said getting started was simple.
"You can post a picture if you like," she said. "You can post as much or as little personal info about yourself as you like. You know, male/female, your age range, where you're from, how often you travel."

It is free to set up a profile on AirTroductions.com, and also to do a search of who else is out there, but if you decide you want to match up with somebody before you catch your next flight, that will cost you $5.

"Considering that you're spending hundreds and hundreds on your flight, $5 to make it better is nothing," Shankman said.

Once the fee is paid, the site puts the two members in touch and they take it from there.

"If you meet someone on the site, OK. You don't have to give out any information," Shankman said. "You say, 'I'll meet you at the airport. Let's meet at the Starbucks near terminal C.' "

If there's a connection, it's up to the travelers to go to the airline to actually get their seats changed so they can travel side-by-side.

"We use the Internet all day at work. We use the Internet for grocery shopping, to buy plane tickets, to buy clothing," Dickerhoof said. "You know, using the Internet to choose who you're going to sit next to on the plane -- why not?"

For now, people may have a tough time finding a match on flights because the service is so new, but it only launched a few weeks ago and now there are more than 2,000 members.
