Meeting you

I just met someone on the plane and after we finish speaking, I say:

It's been nice talking to you. Or

It was nice talking to you. Or

It is nice talking to you.

And

It's been nice meeting you. Or

It was nice meeting you. Or

It is nice meeting you.

Please help select the correct reply. Thank you!

You normally use the present form at the beginning of a conversation:
A: I'm pleased, I'm 'A.
B: Nice to meet you.

And normally adjectives are followed by 'to + infinitive'
So it would be: It's been nice to meet you. or It was nice to meet you.

louiST And normally adjectives are followed by 'to + infinitive'
Certainly not all adjectives.
Principally, only those that express feelings and reactions.
And even then, it is not "to + infinitive" but rather "be + to + infinitive."
Here is a link to a good explanation along with some with quizzes.
