I've just read an interesting article in the Guardian in which the travel journalist Emily Baker puts some social networking sites for tourists through their paces: Going local. She gives a run-down of the social networking sites at the end of the article, here is some of it:

For meeting someone on a flight

• Flight-club.org
• triplife.com

I've just been reading some interesting facts about your entitlement if your flight is overbooked. You are entitled in European Law to:

• A full refund (with a free flight back to your point of departure where relivant)

Or:

• Alternative transport with free refreshments, meals, accomedation, travel to and from the accomedation and two free telephone calls.

Compensation
This is on top of compensation, payable in either case:

• 250 euro for flights of 1,500 km or less
• 400 euro for longer flights within the EU and other flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km
