Dragonair's flagship website goes out of service on June 22-23

To make way for upgrade.

According to a release, Dragonair will upgrade its flagship website – www.dragonair.com – over the weekend of 22 and 23 June, providing an enhancement to a more advanced and powerful online platform that will enable further upgrades to the airline’s online and mobile services in the near future. It will also give the website a fresh look and feel, with enhanced navigation and an improved site structure.

With the growing demand for online and mobile services, together with significant changes in customer preferences, a more sophisticated technology platform is required to allow the airline to redesign and roll out new services as quickly and efficiently as possible to meet customers’ need.

The upcoming upgrade will provide a significantly improved platform that will enable Dragonair to keep pace with changing travel trends and consumer preferences and provide it with the ability to further enhance its online and mobile offerings in the years to come.

Dragonair website and its corresponding mobile site will be unavailable as the upgrade takes place. The outage hours will be from 23:00 hours Hong Kong time (15:00 GMT) on Saturday, 22 June until 13:00 hours Hong Kong time (05:00 GMT) on Sunday, 23 June.

Online services offered through the website and mobile site, including online booking, Online Check-In, the Manage My Booking service and Mobile Boarding Pass retrieval, will be unavailable throughout the outage.

Dragonair will operate its normal flight schedule on the weekend of 22 and 23 June as the upgrade will not have any impact on aircraft systems. Airport services and facilities and Reservations and Service Centre hotlines will also be unaffected by the website outage. All personal and transactional data will be safeguarded during and after the upgrade.

Passengers travelling during the stoppage period are advised to bring a copy of their electronic ticket or boarding pass to the airport. Passengers can check in online and pre-print their boarding passes 48 hours before their flight departure and until 23:00 hours Hong Kong time (15:00 GMT) on Saturday, 22 June, but not during the actual stoppage period.
