DFW AIRPORT, Texas
Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport has launched its official mobile app for smartphones, giving customers the latest information and updates about flights, parking, shops, restaurants and airport services at their fingertips. The app was developed with feedback from DFW customers and is now available as a free download at the iTunes App Store, Google's Android Play Store and BlackBerry App World.
The mobile app's push notification feature is a first for airport-developed apps, notifying passengers who request information about changes to flight details.
The new app contains a wide variety of customer-requested features including:
• Flight information and tracking
• Flight and gate updates with alert "push" notifications
• Parking availability, locations and rates
• Restaurant and shopping locations
• "Within five minutes of my gate" feature highlighting restaurants and shopping options located nearest your gate
More than 100 local and connecting DFW passengers served as volunteer beta testers for the mobile app over a period of two months last fall, and their feedback is incorporated into the release.
The application's launch page features quick links to Flights, Parking Availability, Parking Options, Shops, Restaurants, Services, Airport Guide, Airline Guide and a Feedback button.
The DFW Airport mobile app is currently available for the Apple iOS platform, the Google Android platform and the BlackBerry platform.
