British Airways has launched a new iPad version of its mobile travel
app, with extra features including a 3D globe for flight searches.
Users can create a viewing plan for the in-flight entertainment on
their flight, by dragging and dropping for the menu of available TV
shows, movies and music.
The interactive 3D globe allows travellers to search and book
flights, and boarding passes can be downloaded “with a bar code produced
in each of the iPad’s four corners, for ease of use at the gate”.
Commenting on the launch of the new iPad app, Sara Dunham, BA’s head of marketing retail and direct channels said:
“Our customers are always on the move and are often pressed for time, so designing an app for iPad users made perfect sense.
“Now they can use the same functions that appear on our smartphone
app, with some new extra features, on a wider and even more
user-friendly screen. The new app is the latest move to make the
travelling experience easier and smoother for British Airways
customers.”
BA recently updated its travel app to include a Reward Flight Finder feature and also introduced new mobile boarding scanners at Heathrow T3 and T5, for use with its Apple Watch app on seatplans.com).
The new iPad app is available to download from the Apple App store here.
