As a Virgin Frequent Flyer I can tell you I’ve never had too much trouble with their iPhone app, using it mainly to check my points and upcoming flights – but it’s been in need of a revamp and in response to customer feedback – paired with the expectation of a modern airline app there’s a new one ready to download that’s ready to set the tone going forward.
Launched on Android today, with iOS updates coming tonight, there’s probably less functionality overall in the app, though Virgin Australia tell EFTM there’s likely to be a rapid roll out of new functionality after this soft launch.
In time, the current in-flight entertainment app, and flight specials app will all be integrated into this single app for Virgin Australia.
Initial functionality includes
While that rapid roll out will see all new features such as:
One key new functionality is the use of smart logic to display information relevant to the flight for each passenger – similar to the Google Now cards on Android.
There are also new simple changes to the digital boarding pass to show updated gate information within the app without needing to re-issue the boarding pass.
Available now on Android and coming any moment on iOS.
