Students Andrew Spitz, Markus Schmeiduch, and Katie Kindinger created this app concept for their Graphical User Interface class at Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design in Denmark. Inspired by the 1960s and the "golden-age" of Pan Air-esque air travel—a glamourous period of travel for elite and well-dressed jet setters, they hopeed to bring a little of this indulgent sophistication back to the travel experience through their iPhone app design JETSET.
The app allows users to track flight history in a nostalgic and attractive interface. Users input their flights and the app automatically pulls in flight and aircraft information, routes and other data. What's most exciting is the ease it brings to tracking and recording journeys. When you travel often, flights seems to blend together, and the experience today seems more like riding a bus than a multimillion-dollar jet-propelled piece of cloud-bursting technology. The journal aspect of JETSET helps refresh memory with notes and visual mapping of journeys.
