India’s Jet Airways is launching a new service for its customers, allowing them to get the lowest current fares on their mobile phone. The service works via SMS, and in order to use it, users should send a short message containing “Origin Destination Date” (i.e. BOM DEL 25/11) to 56388.
In addition to the new service, Jet Airways already allows customers to check their flight status, get updates on their Jet Privilege account, and check-in — all via SMS.
Commenting on the new service launch, the company’s Sudheer Raghavan said: “This initiative, the first of its kind in the domestic civil aviation industry, is designed to seamlessly offer guests information on the lowest possible fares at that moment. We are confident that it will be popular with our travellers, and encourage more people to book their fares online at jetairways.com.”
