App Makes Flying Even Worse

Quickset is a travel app with a bunch of pointless features for people who like staring at their phones during dinner with family. Its new version allows you to check out the Facebook page of the person sitting next to you on the plane before you check in, so you have lots of time to wiki where they’re from and stalk them properly. For the feature to work, both people have to approve access. While ostensibly another horrendous app, it will actually work wonders for weary travelers. If you’ve ever been stuck next to an insurance convention attendee and first time flyer named Dale who doesn’t understand social cues you’re in luck. Just log onto this app as a precaution before each flight. If you see that anyone in your general vicinity is also logged in, visit the help desk and have them reassign your seat immediately. If we all band together we can succeed in isolating anyone willing to chat to the isle near the coach bathrooms. I’ll take a middle seat over someone who’s friendly. Friendly people are nature’s way of warning us against hidden evil.
