News hot off the press is that after months of careful development, Travelstart, South Africa’s first and largest online travel agency has launched a first of it’s kind – a public booking engine for low cost carriers designed for mobile phones. As of yet, no other travel agency or airline in South Africa offers such a service, allowing you to browse available flights on multiple airlines, book and pay all from your phone, without needing to even turn on your PC!
Accessing the mobile site could not be simpler, just go to m.travelstart.co.za from your mobile internet browser to access the page shown to the left and begin browsing. To start off Travelstart have featured the low cost domestic carriers like 1Time, Kulula and Mango and will gradually roll out full-service domestic airlines (British Airways and SAA) and finally full-service international ones too. You’ll have the entire world of air-travel in your pocket, making booking a ticket on the go, easier than ever.
What’s more, book a ticket on m.travelstart.co.za to stand a chance to win a BlackBerry! Winners will be drawn at the end of January 2011.
This is more than just a first for Travelstart, this is a first for you South Africa!
