British Airways goes Blackberry

Blackberry users can now take a step into the future and board British Airways flights using the airline’s new Mobile Boarding Passes (MBP).  The MBP can be used when customers travel on any British Airways operated domestic flight and to many European destinations.

Users of Android-operated mobile smartphones will also benefit from the new functionality following its successful launch to iPhone users in July.  Over 30,000 customers have used the Mobile Boarding Pass on their iPhones to fly on BA flights since it was introduced.

British Airways was the first airline to develop an App for customers in the UK.  The App ensures customers have access to real time flight information about their upcoming trips, full integration with their Executive Club details and easily and smoothly guide customers through each stage of their flight process.  It also provides a dedicated travel news section, frequently asked questions and a link to BA's website.

Mobile Boarding Passes can only be used by customers who are members of the British Airways Executive Club but the basic membership is free. www.ba.com/apps
