'Lufthansa expands mobile boarding pass service to Spain'

Sep 08, 2009 (DMEUROPE via COMTEX) -- German global airline Lufthansa has expanded its mobile boarding card services to Spain. Passengers flying Lufthansa from Barcelona can now use this latest electronic boarding pass option, in addition to the online check-in procedure available at the Lufthansa webpage, reports Nexotur, citing Frank Muehlenkamp, head of Lufthansa's traffic and operations for Spain and Portugal. With this service, passengers who have an internet-enabled phone can be sent an electronic boarding pass by e-mail or SMS link. The mobile boarding pass contains the relevant flight data, such as the name of the traveller, flight number and departure time, plus a 2-D barcode. Passengers travelling with hand luggage only can then proceed straight to the security checkpoint and to the gate, where the barcode on their mobile boarding pass will be read by a scanner. Alternatively, they can check in via an SMS link. In this case, an SMS with a link to an internet page containing all the flight information and a 2-D barcode is sent to the number of the internet-enabled mobile phone number entered by the passenger on the screen. All that passengers have to do before boarding is call up and display the internet page. Over the next few weeks, the mobile boarding pass service will also be available to passengers flying from Madrid and Bilbao.
