Lufthansa has chosen the UK and Ireland as the key launch market for its pioneering mobile services product.
With this initiative, the airline is allowing users to use their mobile phones to access the new portal, mobile.lufthansa.com, and book flights, check in and select their seats on an interactive seat map.
Additional features include actual arrival and departure times, flight schedules or mileage summaries. Individual booking summaries are also available.
Marianne Sammann, Lufthansa General Manager UK & Ireland said, "I am sure this new service will prove to be invaluable, particularly to business travellers. Especially as, under the heading "Information", users can not only find actual flight information but other relevant travel information such as public transport arrivals and departures, airport buses and rail connections, or book hotels via Lufthansa's partner, HRS. Additional important information concerning baggage regulations as well as a worldwide lounge directory with locations and hours of operation can also be accessed."
The mobile services portal can be accessed via an Internet capable mobile. For flight bookings, passengers also require a Miles & More card number and PIN or a Lufthansa profile. A profile can be created at www.lufthansa.com.
