Deccan has launched a mobile booking initiative called m-Fly, which allows users to pay for tickets via their mobile phone, reports India Aviation. The account, however, will have to be a prepaid account, and involves internet and offline components – users will have to register online and top-up their prepaid booking account at one of 35,000 Oxigen Services’ outlets. Too complicated? I’ll be surprised if any retail consumers – as opposed to corporates or travel agents – are going to use this facility; who will want to block up Rs. 2000-4000 in a prepaid account for airline travel.
