Perhaps you might be interested in the free service offered by planely.com which allows members to connect with others that will be on the same flight. The service could be worthwhile if you are interested in sharing a ride from the airport, trying to generate some business/ take advantage of a networking opportunity, or just want to find someone to have interesting conversation with (after a pre-screening).
According to Planely's website, there are three steps to the process (after registering of course).
1. Tell them when and where you are flying
2. They'll tell you who you'll be traveling with (those that are signed up for the service as well) so that you can do a little investigating on LinkedIn and facebook
3. Then it is up to you (or you could leave it to others) to reach out to other members
The service is definitely not for everyone- some prefer headphones and a book or awkwardly snoring 8 inches from your ear- but for those that are intrigued by meeting potentially interesting travelers and securing them as your seatmate, it might be something to look into.
