SIA swoops down on mobile phone users

Singapore Airlines has launched SIA Mobile, its latest service allowing customers to use their mobile phones to book flights and access selected KrisFlyer services.

KrisFlyer services include viewing of statements, and checking miles earned and redeemed.

SIA Mobile booking and KrisFlyer services are the latest additions to the current SIA Mobile check-in facility, where customers can check in for flights using selected mobile phones, BlackBerry and iPhone devices.

Customers may also select their seats immediately after making their SIA Mobile booking or during their SIA Mobile check-in, which is anytime between two and 48 hours prior to flight departure.

To perform a mobile booking, customers need to select a seat and check in. To access KrisFlyer services, they key in “m.singaporeair.com” into the web browser of their Internet-enabled mobile handset, which will allow them to either download the SIA Mobile application software or access the services directly through their mobile handset’s web browser. SIA Mobile supports phone models from most major handset manufacturers.

SIA Mobile services are available on all sectors of Singapore Airlines-operated flights.
