Catching a flight soon then check out this new app which connects passengers on the same flight ahead of their journey.

The MileHi App club is set to revolutionise the way we travel by allowing people to message fellow passengers, make new friends and travel companions, before reaching the boarding gate.

A user can either start conversation on the forum if they want to get to know who will be holidaying with them or send a private message to a travel companion to make sure they are seated together.

Users can arrange a taxi share from the arrival airport, exchange tips and ideas on what to do and where to go once abroad, or the app can be extremely helpful for a destination wedding where travellers can communicate with a large number of people going to the same place.

MileHi founder Richard Lloyd said: “This application has been designed from the ground up to allow an easy and convenient way for passengers to connect prior to travel.

"Whether travelling with family, friends or alone the MileHi app is an essential part of the journey.”

A person must register to use the service and enter their flight details before being able to send messages to other MileHi users.

The app is avilable on both iPhone and Android phones.
