Barely a month after MAS introduced flymas.mobi, a mobile optimized website for flight booking, check-in and inquiry purposes, an iPhone app with similar features is now available at Apple App Store beginning 11-Jan-09.
The app has exactly the same feel, and interface as the website version, except that you’ll be greeted with a beautiful lady dressed in MAS’s formal outfit.
By the time I have this app installed in my iPhone, it was sitting at the top 3 rank of iPhone ‘s top free application list. It may have dropped few ranks by now, common for newly released apps.
If you use iPhone and frequently visit flymas.mobi, the app should provide greater experience in terms of speedy download rate, as it will only download data, without graphic and user interface.
Flymas.mobi is a mobile optimized website created by MAS to facilitate accessing, booking and providing flight related inquiries to its customer via mobile phones. With the increasing number of users accessing websites through mobile phone, and the numerous smart phones available on the market, this is one step forward by Mas to tap the market from these users.
Just type Flymas.mobi to access the website from your mobile phone or computer’s web browser. The homepage is clean with each menu arranged neatly downward. I have tested running Flymas.mobi in iPhone and Blackberry web browser which produces consistent looks. There is a tiny link at the bottom left of the screen that allows you to choose for language.
You can do almost everything that you can from MAS main web page with Flymas.mobi such as booking flights, check in, check flight status and etc. Booking the ticket of your choice for instance, only needs 5 steps to be completed. But please be aware that rebook or change flight dates service is not available via Flymas.mobi.
Only credit card is accepted as the payment method, which is pretty much a standard thing nowadays. Booking confirmation, ticket, receipt (itinerary) will be sent via sms and email. Before you try on the service, I strongly advice you to read the FAQ and Privacy page.
