How airlines use SMS

A boarding pass email sitting unread does nothing for a passenger about to miss a check-in cutoff, and a schedule change buried in a newsletter reaches almost no one before departure. Smaller and regional airlines and charter operators use SMS to get check-in reminders, gate changes and delay alerts in front of passengers fast, and to chase a fare deposit or confirm a booking before a hold expires.

Mobile Message sends at 1.6¢ per message on your first purchase with no monthly fees or contracts, so an airline or charter operator can reach every passenger on a flight for a fraction of the cost of a phone round. Send under your airline's name, personalise every message with a passenger's first name, and read every reply, whether it's a booking question or a request to change a fare, in one shared inbox your team can manage together.

SMS for Booking confirmations
Booking confirmations

Confirm a fare, a seat or a group booking by text the moment it's paid, so passengers have it on their phone without digging through email.

SMS for Check-in reminders
Check-in reminders

Remind passengers to check in online before the cutoff, cutting down on queues and last minute counter check-ins.

SMS for Flight delay and gate change alerts
Flight delay and gate change alerts

Push a delay, cancellation or gate change out to every affected passenger at once instead of relying on an airport screen.

SMS for Fare sale campaigns
Fare sale campaigns

Text a limited time fare sale to your customer database, personalised with a first name so it reads like a direct offer, not a mass email.

SMS for Booking deposit reminders
Booking deposit reminders

Send a reminder when a fare hold or deposit is about to expire, recovering bookings that would otherwise lapse.
