I just finished downloading Destination Radio, the newly launched radio app by Emirates Airlines and let me tell you how awesome it is. The app is free and available for the iPhone and iPod Touch and is aimed at those who want to explore the local flavor before traveling or simply want to discover new places.
The app streams live radio from local stations in 97 cities that Emirates flies to. The New York station, for example, is WCBS 101.1, while in Mumbai, one can tune into Radio City. There’s one station per city, and if the connection fails, you can listen to the default station, BBC World Service. The app works over wi-fi or a 3G connection and the streaming quality is extremely good. The app also allows Emirates’ passengers to check-in for a flight, manage their bookings and even track flight status. Brilliant!
The airline has announced that they would include new destinations as and when the airline expands in the future. Until then, keep discovering!
