Where we started

Page 4: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

Where we started.

To understand the implications of creating solutions for resolving the variety of air travel issues, we reached out to travelers, flight attendants, and a dispatcher. Through this process we uncovered some expected and unexpected results.

This process allowed us to begin shaping our empathy for the end users which we channel in our strategic and design efforts throughout the initiative.

What we heard

Page 18: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

“The hardest part of my job is getting people [and their baggage] on and off planes.”

— Natalie, Flight Attendant

Page 19: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

“I pay for priority seating so I know I can fit my stuff in the overhead bin. I pay for peace of mind.”

— Haris, Leisure Traveler

Page 20: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

"Food accessibility is limited. Sometimes you don’t have time to get food between connections.

Companies are losing money because they are not providing this service.”

— Sam, Flight Attendant

Page 21: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

“It would be great if they could fix the boarding process. I can never understand what they’re saying through the speaker.”

— John, Father Traveling with Family

Page 22: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

Friction + Fragmentation = Poor Experiences

Page 23: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

“The less friction that exists within the interactions a customer has with your brand, the more business you’ll capture. Just ask taxi drivers.”

Why We’ll Wait for Frictionless Customer Experiences by Jeremy Epstein

Page 24: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

Objective: Improve baggage experience, wayfinding, and time savings/expectations. Implement hands-free interactions and interfaces that reduce friction. Be predictive, making contextual connections between customers and services.

A Travel Story

Page 26: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

Susan is excited to take her husband Larry on their second honeymoon. With the kids out of the house, she feels it is time for them to have some fun and reconnect.

Page 27: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

Susan and Larry map the route directly to the long term parking spot, which they have reserved for their trip.

“Looks like security isn’t too bad right now,” Larry says as he checks the latest wait times for TSA.

After stopping, Susan sees that a reminder of the car’s location has been saved for their return day.

They head into the airport, knowing there’s plenty of time.

Page 28: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

Larry places the baggage in one of the many self-serve baggage portals. He checks the screen to see that it matches their final destination, and heads over to Susan.

“Glad to be rid of those!” he states with glee.

Page 29: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

“We’d better get to security,” Susan says. “You never know how long that will take!”

Susan holds her smartwatch close to a sensor post and their IDs and tickets and pre-cleared status show up for the TSA agent.

The agent asks a few questions and then waves them through, wishing them good luck on their trip.

Page 30: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

Susan realizes they have some time before their flight. She checks to see what is available.

“Hey Larry, there is a new coffee place that delivers to the gate. Do you want to try it?”

“Need caffeine,” he playfully replies, zombie-like.

Page 31: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

“Coffees will meet us at the gate in 20 minutes,” Susan exclaims.”We have more time than I thought!”

Larry goes to look for nearby things to do, when Susan receives a notification of a discount in a nearby bookstore.

“Oh, Larry, let’s grab some books for the plane!”

Page 32: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

While browsing, Susan receives a notification boarding is in 30 minutes. She is immediately put at ease, knowing she still has enough time to get to the gate.

The turn-by-turn directions with estimated walking time from the bookstore are available with a quick swipe from the notification.

Page 33: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

Susan can’t believe how smooth her experience from the car to the gate has been. Suddenly, she receives a notification their flight has been delayed.

Frustration eases when she receives a notification for a discount on their next gate food order and an explanation for the delay.

A few minutes later, a young man arrives with hot coffees. They relax and wait for the boarding notification.

Page 34: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

Hassle-free baggage

Boarding begins. When Larry looks at his screen, he is pleasantly surprised to see an assortment of gift certificates to “ease the middle seat blues.”

Larry browses the selection of promotions on his seat back screen and finds his favorite mens grooming line.

“Larry, are you really going to buy more aftershave?”

He only grins as he throws in a couple waxes and blades. Susan shakes her head and smiles.

Page 35: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

Susan and Larry land in New York and receive a notification that their baggage made it.

She briefly ponders how much time she has before her luggage gets to the carousel and thinks, “Where is the carousel?” when her phone sends her a notification that her baggage will be on carousel 15-20 minutes.

“Larry, we have 20 minutes to run to the restroom and grab a few things for the trip,” Susan reports.

Page 36: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

With an extra 15 minutes before her bag appears on the carousel, Susan ducks into a shop to purchase a few extras for the trip so they can relax the rest of the way.

Page 37: Universal Mind LAB - Frictionless Travel

After their luggage appears on time, Susan and Larry find their way to their rental, bypassing the heavy taxi terminal, based on a tip from the AIR Concierge.

“Too bad they can’t give us some tips to avoid the New York traffic!” Larry jokes.

Loaded up and happy, they whisk away into their NYC vacation wonderland.
