Seat 46F: Where Online Friends Become Real

Hi,
I’m flying to Miami for the holidays — off to see my dad, his side of the family, and a couple of close mates.
This morning, my mum dropped me off at Heathrow. My dad’s picking me up on the other side.
I’m excited to finally see Michael and Christian again. They live out in Naples, and we’ve known each other for a few years now thanks to Call to Arms: Gates of Hell – Ostfront. We’ve defeated the Reds many times while playing as the Ostheer, using tactical superiority against their mass-wave tactics and mechanised forces.
We’ve spent many nights in full-on battle mode, and I’m excited to see them face to face again. It’s crazy how close you can get through one game. Have a safe flight everyone

Seat 46F

Hi ,

Your story really made me smile — what a brilliant, modern way to make friends! It’s amazing how a game can bring people together, even from miles apart. That’s exactly how I felt when I found 'Your Sky Story' project — like even strangers can feel connected through shared experiences.

I’m sure meeting your team members will feel super natural — like picking up right where you left off. Games have a lovely way of doing that — crossing cities, countries, and time zones. Now, you get to take that connection off-screen and into real life. That’s something special.

Wishing you a great holiday and a brilliant time catching up with everyone.

— Anita

Sometimes the most powerful connections come from the most unexpected places — like an online game that becomes the start of real-life friendships.

Travel reminds us that stories don’t just happen at our destination — they begin the moment we say goodbye, board the plane, and step into something new.

What unlikely friendship has made your journey brighter?
