Virgin Blue has introduced Check-Mate, an online technology solution allowing corporate travellers to check in and board domestic business travel flights by simply flashing a boarding pass barcode on their BlackBerry or 3G mobile phone.
Corporate travellers can also book and make changes to their business travel trips using Check-Mate. Simply download the Check-Mate application at blackberry.com/appworld or access it on your 3G mobile at mobile.virginblue.com.au.
BCD Travel National Sales Manager, Stacey Wilson, said mobile technologies were having a big impact on business travel.
“There are so many new products coming on the market that can give corporate travellers the information they need, when they need it. You can find out via text message if your plane is delayed and search for a good restaurant near your hotel. The new apps for corporate travel are amazing – they’re like your own mobile concierge.”
