The ultimate network?

We're not sure what they're implying here by putting the Do Not Disturb sign next to the "Find valuable contacts" headline, but KLM may be onto something by joining the world of social networking with the world of business travel.

Road warriors, especially those in sales, already know some of the best leads come from the next seat over.

KLM is taking that a step further by integrating a social network similar to Linked In or Friendster with their own site.

Is this the future of business travel? Deals in the air instead of on the ground? We're not sure, but we'll be watching closely.
