Singapore Airlines has given people a better and convenient way to make sure that they don’t go through the hassles of booking their flights. Singapore Airlines has introduced a new service which will allow customers to check in for their flights with their mobile phones.

Passengers can check in using their handsets in the two days before their scheduled flight, and up to two hours before their departure time. The service is compatible with a wide variety of devices, including iPhones and BlackBerrys, and has been tipped to make travelling more convenient and hassle-free.

Singapore Airlines has confirmed that it is planning to expand its mobile services further down the line, possibly allowing people to book tickets with their handsets. The application can used by most web-enabled mobile phones and can be accessed anywhere in the world.

This comes shortly after SAS Scandinavian Airlines started a trial which involves passengers using their handsets to check in via text message and obtain a mobile boarding pass.

Besides Continental, which is already doing it, American Airlines will now use too the mobile approach in the whole boarding pass barcodes business. If you are an American Airlines customer you can download the barcodes and have them displayed on your BlackBerry, iPhone, G1 and others in airports for domestic flights. For now the option is available for non-stop flights departing from O’Hare, LAX and Orange County and it will be available starting with November 17th. Other airports will probably follow too.
