01 \/ THE OPPORTUNITY<\/span><\/p>\n

BEFORE TAKEOFF IS THE RIGHT TIME.<\/h2>\n

A travel eSIM is most useful when the passenger can prepare it while still connected. Airlines have powerful pre-departure channels: confirmation emails, trip management, check-in and loyalty communications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
01<\/span>BOOKING FLOW \/ MANAGE MY TRIP<\/span><\/div>\n

At booking<\/h3>\n

Offer connectivity alongside destination services when route and travel dates are known.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n
02<\/span>CHECK-IN \/ PRE-FLIGHT EMAIL<\/span><\/div>\n

Before departure<\/h3>\n

Remind eligible passengers they can arrange mobile data before arriving.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n
03<\/span>MEMBER BENEFITS \/ PREMIUM FARES<\/span><\/div>\n

In the loyalty journey<\/h3>\n

Include sponsored starter data as a member benefit or a premium journey component.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
02 \/ THE COMMERCIAL MODEL<\/span><\/p>\n

SELL. INCLUDE. REWARD.<\/h2>\n

One customer journey can support different ways to deliver connectivity. The right setup depends on your audience, offer and chosen supplier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

SELL.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Provide an optional destination connectivity offer through the booking or trip-management journey.<\/p>\n

\u2197<\/span><\/div>\n

\n

INCLUDE.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Add data to selected fare bundles, stopover packages or premium travel services.<\/p>\n

\u2197<\/span><\/div>\n

\n

REWARD.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Make a starter eSIM an eligible loyalty or status benefit.<\/p>\n

\u2197<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
03 \/ FROM IDEA TO OFFER<\/span><\/p>\n

A passenger journey<\/h2>\n

Start with a focused distribution touchpoint. Build the operating model around what customers already do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
  1. STEP 01<\/span>\n

    The passenger books a route and receives the normal travel confirmation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. STEP 02<\/span>\n

    A tailored connectivity option is presented through an airline-owned channel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. STEP 03<\/span>\n

    The traveler receives setup guidance and connects upon reaching a supported terrestrial network.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/section>\n

    \n
    IMPORTANT \/ THE PRACTICAL DETAILS<\/span><\/p>\n

    An ancillary should not create operational friction<\/h2>\n

    Airline integrations can involve procurement, brand, legal, customer-care and technology requirements. A small pilot through pre-departure messaging may be more practical than a deep booking-engine integration. Connectivity on aircraft is a different product and is not implied by destination eSIM service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

    \n
    04 \/ FREQUENT QUESTIONS<\/span><\/p>\n

    THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTER.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \nWould an airline need to become an eSIM provider?+<\/span><\/summary>\n

    No. ADD eSIM can help evaluate distribution models backed by an established connectivity supplier.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

    \nCan an airline start without changing its booking engine?+<\/span><\/summary>\n

    Potentially. A tracked offer in an appropriate pre-departure channel can be a lower-complexity pilot.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

    \nIs this the same as in-flight Wi-Fi?+<\/span><\/summary>\n

    No. Destination eSIMs generally use supported terrestrial mobile networks after arrival. In-flight connectivity requires a separate service.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

    \nCan eSIMs be included in loyalty rewards?+<\/span><\/summary>\n

    Yes, as a proposed commercial model, subject to the agreed supplier terms, eligibility rules and loyalty programme integration.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
