INNOVATIVE technology is continuing to shape the way we travel.
Etihad Airways has just launched a mobile application for the iPhone that enables travellers to organise and manage their journey including booking tickets, checking in and viewing their flight status.
The Etihad Airways mobile app is simple to use and includes high resolution enhanced seat maps so passengers can see a detailed layout of the cabin.
It allows passengers to check in for their flight by using their mobile phone to scan their passport page. Travellers can pay for their tickets by scanning their credit card, eliminating the need to enter passenger details and payment information manually.
The simple booking process allows you to compare multiple fare choices and upgrade options. Boarding passes can be viewed from the app or downloaded directly to iOS Wallet.
The app offers a "countdown to take off" feature to ensure travellers arrive at the departure gate in plenty of time. Live flight status updates provide real-time flight information enabling passengers' family and friends to track their flight.
Etihad Airways passengers will enjoy 10 per cent off flights and members of its loyalty program, Etihad Guest, will receive 250 bonus miles for every booking made through the mobile app before May 30.
The Etihad Airways iPhone app is available to download via the App Store.
