Felica phones can now be used to pay for air travel.

The Japanese air carrier ‘ANA’ now allows you to pay for and collect your flight vouchers using your Felica equipped cell phone. You can book your flight through the i-mode enabled ticket service and then on the day of travel, pick up your ticket from the airport by swiping your handset over a Felica reader.

Docomo has just announced a new handset which is set to compete with the easy to use ‘Kantan keitai’ from tu-ka.
This is a no-frills, simple to use handset which features a clock. Yep, that’s all folks. Its dead easy to use and will appeal to the growing number of ‘old people’ in Japan.
