Talk to people on planes

My mom likes to talk to people, all kinds of people. She meets really interesting people everywhere she goes. I've been trying to follow my mom's example and its really been helping my networking.

Airplanes are a good place to start because you're stuck next to strangers for an extended period of time--the last two flights I've taken, I've met really interesting people. People who I hope I'm able to stay in contact with.

You just never know who you'll be sitting next to on your next flight. If the person gives you an opening, try some in-flight networking.
