China Eastern unveils app for ticketing and boarding

CHINA Eastern Airlines today became the first of domestic carriers to offer ticket booking and sale via mobile phone. Passengers can board the plane by showing their mobile phone.

A bilingual app can be downloaded to smart phones. After buying tickets using the app, travelers will receive a two-dimensional code on their phone, which serves as their boarding pass.
