BA Makes Travel Easier with an interactive guide

British Airways has launched a new series of online services and Agency.com has created an interactive guide to explain customers what has changed or improved. E-Consultancy explains the demonstration named “Make Travel Easier” shows customers how to use ba.com website and the self-service kiosks at the airport. The interactive guide is a good idea to educate clients about new services, and it’s also pretty well done. The problem is that it’s hidden inside BA’s site. There is a small, sad, banner on the homepage, but unless you know about it, you won’t understand smart guide it is supposed to promote.

Kick and win with British Airways

The British Airways advergame, supporting the Rugby World Cup, I�ve talked about a couple of weeks ago is now online, and you can win plane tickets, as well as dvd players and photo cameras. Just go to http://www.britishairwaysbigkick.co.uk/ , choose your favourite rugby character and try to kick the ball between the two jets as many times as possible. It�s not very easy, I�ve tried a couple of times and, as the speaker said, I�ve been embarrassing myself and the public� Anyway I appreciate the viral idea behind the game, send the game to your friends and increase your score in the game� smart!

“We’re hoping that players will be so enamoured by it that they will send it on to friends, family and colleagues and spread the word”.

This sounds so na�ve… Well, Mrs O’Brien, the game will go online on October 6th, let’s wait and see if it’s worth spreading the word
