Delta Air Lines has released a new iPad app that allows passengers to track their flight while on board and to find out what they're passing overhead.
The Fly Delta iPad app gives passengers a way to see what is going on down below with its glass bottom feature. The app can be used with in-flight Wi-Fi from 10,000 feet and produces a computerized image of the flight for users to follow.
The app also features icons which mark certain areas below and allow users to look at Wikipedia pages about a place, photos and even social network updates discussing the landmarks and places they are flying over.
The app even helps customers plan their trips and it makes check in easier. iPad users can book and check-in for flights with the app and they can even download their boarding pass right onto the iPad.You can even get pumped up for your destination through the "inflight entertainment" feature which allows users to download music, movies and books that are related to the place where the passenger is going.
"Our goal is to simplify the digital experience across the touch points where our customers already spend their time by making their interactions with Delta easy and intuitive," Glen Hauenstein, Delta's executive vice president for network planning, revenue management and marketing, said according to the Daily Mail.
"The incredible functionality and innovation found in the new iPad app embodies all that we're doing to further improve the digital experience customers have with Delta," he continued.
The Fly Delta app with the updated features is available in the Apple App Store.
This is just one of many ways the Delta is making good use of technol and there are plans for further additions.
"Customers can rely on Delta to provide innovative tools throughout their travel experience that put them in control and give them the information they need, when they need it," Hauenstein said. "We'll continue to provide new and interesting ways to plan, share and connect, so that traveling with Delta keeps getting better."
This new addition is part of a $140 million investment in technology for the airline which has over 800 wi-fi capable jets.
