Camera Phones Plaza

I was writing yesterday about the new benefits of cell phones which seem to become a must have not only when it comes to receiving and making calls, but also as far as the payments are concerned. Therefore, the contactless card format will help you make payments of no more than $14, when you don’t have money on you or you just forgot your wallet at home.

But the things a phone is good at seem to be an endless territory, so more and more benefits join every day the family of features that are aimed at making it our lives easier.

Air France and KLM made an announcement a couple of days ago concerning their future plans. They want to extend their electronic boarding pass service and in order to do so, they introduced the service “on most of the European and French domestic destinations”.

The procedure is quite simple: you want to go to Paris, for example, you buy the ticket and the boarding pass will be sent to you on a PDA or on your cell phone (as simple as it may be), via SMS, MMS or e-mail. This is much more comfortable, there’s no doubt about it!



The implementation of this new service comes after a period of six months when it was tested on the Paris-Amsterdam-Paris route, being now ready to extend. The service can be used by people travelling from Paris and Amsterdam to lots of European destinations, except for the United Kingdom.

The electronic boarding passes will include the information displayed by conventional ones, and the unique bar code is also included, which will be scanned at the gate.



“This new service perfectly meets the needs of our customers for speed and autonomy, and demonstrates Air France and KLM’s determination to offer innovative new services”, says Patrick Roux, the Senior Vice President Marketing Air France KLM. In addition, the Vice President E-commerce Air France KLM,m Martijn van der Zee, said that “it is our aim to offer as many passengers as possible a comfortable and hassle free travel experience without any unnecessary ‘paperwork’ “.
