Tokyo, Japan – Passengers flying on ZIPAIR Tokyo will be able to place an order for meals and products using their smartphone and tablet devices with the LCC’s first Inflight Self-Ordering and Payment System. Passengers will be able to perform the contactless purchase of meals and items from the menu right in the comfort of their seats. The Inflight Self-Ordering and Payment System is a collaboration with Collins Aerospace that empowers passengers with an on-demand self-service experience and supports social distancing guidelines to keep passengers and crew healthy and safe. Passengers can browse the shopping catalog, view inventory availability, place orders on-demand, and make credit card payments using their smart devices without any assistance from the cabin crew. More information on Inflight Self-Ordering and Payment System Passengers can utilize the Inflight Self-Ordering and Payment System on all ZIPAIR flights via the free inflight Wi-Fi system available on the Boeing 787 aircraft. Using their own smart devices, passengers can have an enhanced inflight shopping experience up in the air similar to online shopping on the ground. Orders are placed on an inflight web portal by the passenger using his or her smart device. The order is processed through the system and the purchased item is delivered to the passenger’s seat by the cabin crew.
