How to book on Miwok
Booking a flight on Miwok Airways will be similar to reserving a taxicab but with a twist – the ability to tap into an Internet social network.
When the reservation system goes online in mid-October, registered passengers will first see a screen with a list of flights that others have already booked and that have seats available.
Getting on someone else’s booked flight can be much cheaper, $110 one way for each passenger when there are three compared with more than $300 with just one passenger flying from Los Angeles to San Diego. You can also check who’s on the flight.
If the booked time doesn’t work, you can reserve your own flight time with the hope that others will join you. You can either wait or message others in the Facebook social website, which is linked to the Miwok site, asking them to take the flight with you.
If you prefer privacy, you can block the flight from being booked by anyone else, but you’d have to pay the higher, single-passenger fare.
