Launch a new last minute upgrading program
Hi all, we are launching a new last minute upgrading program before the end of this year.
Our website will be called Yoopgrade and we are launching our apps before the end of September.
Firstly we'll work only in Europe, but we plan to make our app working with all airline company all over the world.
Our apps will help airline company to monetize empty business seat with discounted price rather than giving them or leave the seat empty.
I would like to know if this service may interrest all non frequent flyer ?
thanks all.

Not to dampen your enthusiasm, but I think most airlines have this decades-old issue solved with internal mechanisms for upgrading their passengers or offering discounted fares...

There's also a major established competitor that solicits bids for upgrades on behalf of a number of airlines, including some European carriers.
Plus, airlines have amazing data on this which I doubt they would share with some outside firm that might also work with competing carriers.

Wow, that website is so bad, I would suggest to OP to remove it and put up a teaser website with little on it, rather than let people happen onto that buggy/poorly translated site and have it influence their perception of the company...
