Mobile connectivity for Cathay Pacific
The new mobile site — mobile.cathaypacific.com — has been formatted to make it user-friendly for Internet-enabled mobile phones or hand-held devices including 2G or 3G cellphones, Pocket PCs, Blackberry and Smartphone devices, and PDAs.
Users can visit the site with their mobile device and get real-time travel information at any time and from anywhere in either English or Chinese.
Using the new service, passengers can check the latest Cathay Pacific flight arrival and departure times, check flight schedules days or weeks ahead, subscribe to the airline’s notiFLY flight paging service that sends instant messages to users to advise on the most up-to-date flight arrival and departure times, track mileage point balances if the users are members of The Marco Polo Club, read about the airline’s latest news and offers, get access to airport information and Cathay Pacific’s contact information.
Says Ed Higgs, Cathay Pacific’s Southern Africa and Indian Ocean country manager: “Hong Kong’s mobile market is developing quickly and Cathay Pacific is committed to keeping pace with new technologies to explore how to provide value-added services for our customers."
