Low cost airline launches check-in reminders

Link: Monarch launches mobile check-in
You’ve heard of airlines offering check-in by mobile, but a service that reminds you it’s time to go to the gate? That’s exactly what el cheapo carrier Monarch have just unveiled.

The service, aptly called Monarch Mobile, will give passengers information about delays, where to check in and even their booking reference, four hours before departure time. Then, a couple of hours before takeoff,the airline will very kindly spam you with their latest exclusive offers.

Once you’ve checked in, and made yourself comfortable with a tanker of lager in the airport bar, preferably somewhere that you conveniently forget you have a flight to catch, Monarch will send you a text when it’s time to head to your departure gate.

Whether Monarch will also send you a reminder not to get rude and abusive on their plane remains to be seen.
