Have you ever sat next to the seatmate-from-hell? Non stop talker, bad breath, takes up too much room, etc? Now a few airlines are experimenting with a way to let you choose your seatmate. Rather than supply them with lots of personal information, I think I’ll just “wing it.”

American would fly from the USA to Budapest and Malev would take it from there. Now that Malev is history, American has decided to drop it’s Budapest service. Gee, what a surprise. On the upside, they’re replacing it with an additional flight from Dallas to London.
