Ever since Facebook Messenger became its own platform, we’ve been expecting new and exciting uses for it. And today, Messenger is quite a bit more than chat app. A few months ago, Facebook announced that users can now hail an Uber through the platform – then came games like chess, or basketball… Now, KLM offers a range of different services for its passengers from within Messenger.
With Messenger, KLM has made it easy for its passengers to access boarding passes, customer service, flight status updates, as well as check-in reminders for their flights. The company explains,
