An airline offers a flirting and communicating touch screen for passengers.

Members of the mile high club may now include complete strangers. Virgin America is offering a new service to travelers looking to interact with other attractive fliers.

Essentially an in-flight, technology-laden entertainment system, people can send a drink, snack and even a text message to a person in another seat. The concept allows users to find their romantic target by utilizing a digital seat map.

He or she can then sift through the menu on the touch screen and choose what to send to their love interest. Then they can top off the gesture with a typed message.

Founder of Virgin Group, Sir Richard Branson states “I'm not a betting man, but I'd say your chance of deplaning with a plus-one are at least 50%.”

Last year, Virgin airlines announced another innovative program. It offered frequent flyer customers a chance to fly to space.

The offer applies to Virgin America, Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Australia flyers. If travelers have the most frequent flyer points by August 7, 2013, they will get a free ticket for the Virgin's Galactic SpaceshuttleTwo flight, valued at $200,000.
