On December 10, Dragonair announced the launch of a new mobile service that offers passengers more convenience and better mobility by connecting them to useful travel information through their mobile devices.

The new mobile site - m.dragonair.com - has been specially formatted to make it user-friendly for Internet-enabled mobile phones or handheld devices including 2G or 3G cell phones, Pocket PCs, Blackberry and Smartphone devices and PDAs.

Users can now visit m.dragonair.com with their web-enabled mobile device and get real-time travel information at any time and from anywhere in either English or Chinese. Using the new service they can:

• Check the latest Dragonair flight arrival and departure times
• Check flight schedules days or weeks ahead
• Subscribe to the airline's notiFLY flight paging service that sends instant messages to users to advise on the most up-to-date flight arrival and departure times
• Track mileage point balances and retrieve booking details (for members of The Marco Polo Club or AsiaMiles)
• Subscribe and read about the airline's latest news and offers
• View Travel Advisories or latest updates during flight disruptions
• Get access to airport information, and Dragonair's contact information

There are five localised sites for Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, Vietnam and India in three languages - English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese - allowing passengers to download information according to their location and language preference.
