A similar service is available in Ghana. MTN Mobile Money subscribers who use a Starbow service can now purchase their air tickets through Mobile Money. (Read here). In Tanzania is also possible to purchase airline tickets on Precision Air (a local airline). This service is available to mPesa subscribers and tickets purchased in this way would receive a 20% discount. (Read here). Further research indicated that a similar service is available in Nigeria where tickets on local airline, Aero can be purchased from the U-Mo electronic wallet. (Read here).
It seems that the availability of a flexible, digital payment system can lead to applications that one would not have envisaged initially.

Now how about purchasing your next 1st class return ticket Cape Town to San Francisco via your mobile?
I remember the days when attempting the first mobile transactions, worth a few cents, was a bit scary, but look at where we are now.
The innovations and value-add applications on mobile payments are now steamrolling ahead and it is difficult to keep track of all the exiting successes out there,... and look where this is all happening again,... in the African regions.
I am excited paying my next flight using my mPowa (www.mpowa.com). I think the best mobile payment platform which should cover payments for huge expenses like airline tickets are the MPOS PLatforms like Square, my carrier, Intuit, etc.
the source and destination place or airport have to be given. in the process of booking air tickets online, is specifying the number of passengers.
