East coast Virgin Trains customers in the UK now have access to Seatfrog technology, enabling them to “bid for seat upgrades from as little as £5” so more have the opportunity “to travel first class”.
You always pray for an upgrade – after all, there are usually empty seats up front. Well, an innovative Australian start-up hopes to cure the empty seat syndrome via a smartphone app that allows you to bid on the seat up to 48 hours beforehand.
Embryonic new Australian travel technology startup, Seatfrog, has launched a $1.2 million funding round to accelerate its growth and expansion into global markets this year.
