Wish, Click, Go! - at your nearest ATM!

As technological innovations continue to break new grounds, innovative services also keep showing up their pretty face. Back in 80s, nobody in India would have thought much about ATMs. Shift to current day scenario, banks not offering ATM facility are not preferred as much. Such has become the pervasiveness of the ATMs in our lives.

Similarly, there was a time when you would either visit a travel agent or an airline booking office to book your flight tickets. Internet changed it all with e-bookings. And then came the e-ticket, which did not even require you to hold a paper ticket. A print out would do. In many US airports, even this is not necessary. Just swipe your credit card, and the reader would find your name registered on a flight and with a little assistance, print out your boarding pass.


With NCR coming up with its newest innovation, you just need to visit your nearest ATM to buy your flight tickets. Check this link that showed up on rediff today.

Book air tickets from ATMs soon

Am sure, it would be a feature that many would love to access, what with so much of budget air travel happening in our country. I only hope that it does not become a poorly implemented feature giving more room for financial transaction hiccups! Until, this is implemented in a sure way, I would just wait and watch.
