Prerequisites
Social Seating is available exclusively through the TravelBank mobile app on iOS or Android. To use Social Seating, download the app on your mobile device.
Overview
Flights can be lengthy, and this can be a great time to collaborate with a coworker, or maybe even catch up on some much needed rest. Learn about Social Seating and take advantage of another TravelBank feature.
The next time you are booking a flight via the TravelBank mobile app you can see whether one of your colleagues is traveling on the same flight.
Steps
To use Social Seating while booking a flight, start by selecting a flight (see Figure 1):

After selecting a flight, scroll through the map of seats on the flight. If a coworker has also booked that flight, their avatar appears on their seat selection. If they don't have an avatar their initials will appear instead (see Figure 2).

After you have made your seat selection, you can view the the details before you confirm your selection (see Figure 3). Note that you can view the flight amenities, baggage details, and list of coworkers who have booked the same flight.
