Dubai-based international airline Emirates has launched an online website for mobile devices.

Mobileemirates.com is a mobile version of the airline’s website, which travelers can long onto through a mobile browser. It is compatible with over 3000 devices.

“This facility provides our customers with the flexibility to manage aspects of their journey from the palm of their hand”, said Emirates divisional senior vice-president, Keith Longstaff.

The mobile site incorporates the most popular features on emirates.com, including online check-in, special seat and meal requests, the status of flights and more.

Emirates is one of the first international airlines to offer online check-in through a mobile device.
