The airline has also introduced mobile check-in for domestic flights, where smartphone users will be able to check-in via the Virgin mobile website and send their boarding pass as an SMS, which is then scanned at the departure gate.

“Our new app for iPhone links seamlessly to new features on the Virgin Australia mobile website, taking guests through every stage of the travel journey. For guests with carry-on luggage only, this means the ability to skip the check-in counter and board the flight simply by scanning their smartphone at the gate.”

The release of the new app and addition of mobile check-in comes after Qantas announced recently that it had added the ability to book flights to its mobile website.
