Inflight maps and destination content provider, FlightPath3D, has introduced Destination Stories, a new inflight map feature designed to help passengers explore and plan activities at their destination.

The system is guided by Luci, FlightPath3D’s AI-powered travel companion, which offers recommendations on attractions, cultural landmarks, and other must-see sights. Passengers can watch animated previews, complete with local insights, airline-branded content, and partner promotions, directly from the seatback map.

Duncan Jackson, president of FlightPath3D, said: “Destination Stories is a seatback experience built for today’s traveller. Highly curated and engaging to spark ideas for now and what’s next. For airlines, it’s a new way to showcase destinations, vacations, and partners right where passengers are planning their journey.”

Each city is presented through a Destination Board, a visually led homepage highlighting key attractions and experiences. Users can create playlists based on interests – such as cultural icons or ‘instagrammable’ hotspots – or select a continuous tour of must-see sights. A QR code integration allows passengers to continue exploring on their mobile devices, with future upgrades expected to include tour and ticket booking.

For airlines, the Destination Board provides a marketing platform as well as a guide, with opportunities to embed loyalty perks, seasonal campaigns, and sponsored content alongside the travel storytelling.

“Destination Stories is more than a new feature, it’s a new chapter for the inflight map,” added Boris Veksler, co-founder and chief executive of FlightPath3D. “Our mission has always been to guide every flying passenger. This is the next step in that journey, inspiring travellers in the air and connecting them to the places, experiences, and opportunities that await when they land.”

The feature is available as an upgrade for airlines already using FlightPath3D’s Destination Guide.
