I’m packing up my bags to fly out to a conference tomorrow and I’ll be swinging by SFO and that’s why the latest check-in deal from Loopt caught my eye because the location-based company is teaming up with Virgin America to offer prizes for checking in at the airport.
This promotion is kind of limited because it’s restricted to Terminal 2 at SFO (shh, you can check in from the other terminals too) but there’s the potential for getting good deals if you happen to be in the area. On its blog, Loopt laid it out:
Starting today, September 26, a simple check-in at Terminal 2 in San Francisco International Airport (AKA, SFO-T2) gets you a random deal from Virgin America and other T2 partners including Cat Cora’s Kitchen, Kiehl’s, Mondrian and Clift Hotels, Napa Farms Market, Natalie’s Candy Jar and SFO. Yes, you read that right – a simple tap of your iPhone or Android could land you a serious deal!
Not a bad deal and I’ll be checking in tomorrow and hoping I win a free flight. If this promotion is successful, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Loopt and Virgin American expand this to other airports.
