INFLIGHT SHOPPING

Reach confirmed travellers before, and during, the journey

The inflight shopping mall puts your brand in front of high-intent shoppers — from the moment they book to the moment they’re at altitude with time to spend.

The opportunity

A captive, primed audience — already committed to travel

Every traveller in this channel has done the one thing that matters: they’ve booked. From that confirmation onward, Echolution can reach them across an eight-week pre-departure email sequence and again inside the inflight shopping mall — two high-attention moments, one connected journey.

Why it works

Confirmed intent, met twice

No prospecting, no guesswork — these are people who have already committed to a trip.

Confirmed bookers

Every recipient has a confirmed trip. You're reaching genuine intent, not a cold audience.

Two touchpoints, one journey

Pre-departure email plus the inflight mall — your brand travels with them from booking to boarding.

Booking-data targeting

Target on destination, origin, country and season, so the message fits the trip.

High-attention moments

The inbox before the trip and the cabin during it — both are uncluttered, dwell-rich environments.

How it works

From booking confirmation to your product page

The channel reaches travellers in two connected stages — first in the inbox, then in the cabin.

1 The pre-departure email sequence

From the moment a trip is booked, a curated weekly email rotates through inspiration, fashion, beauty and essentials — keeping your brand present across the eight weeks before departure, then repeating as the trip nears.

Week 1
Inspiration
Destination cues set the mood and prime the shop.
Week 2
Fashion
Edits and looks for the trip ahead.
Week 3
Beauty
Travel-ready beauty and grooming picks.
Week 4
Essentials
Pack-and-go must-haves before departure.
↻  The sequence repeats through to departure  ↻
2 The inflight shopping journey

Onboard, the shopping mall sits inside the airline's WiFi portal. Travellers move from login to a premium mall, into category, and straight through to your product — with your placements highlighted at every step.
