Getting ready for the summer rush, Lufthansa Group Airlines has added extra tools to its mobile app so travelers can handle more of their journey on their own, straight from their phones. Passengers using the app now have access to faster flight search tools, new document-handling features, and simplified rebooking processes. These updates are intended to address common issues such as flight changes or delays and are available across the Lufthansa Group network.

The app now pulls the Travel ID feature in closer, letting travelers keep their details in one spot so they don’t have to dig for info every time something changes. This feature supports travelers when adjustments are required, such as itinerary changes or document checks. Lufthansa also introduced automation for taxi voucher distribution in cases where overnight accommodation is needed following flight disruption.

We are there for our customers and provide them with an all-round service throughout their flight – supported by digital functions. For example, our guests can now plan their trip even more easily and flexibly and count on comprehensive support in the event of last-minute changes.
Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer of the Lufthansa Group

Onboard, app users can now access updated menus, digital reading materials, and lounge location tools before departure. These additions are currently available for travelers in premium cabins and apply at several airports including Frankfurt and New York. The airline has also revised the visual layout of booking confirmations and passport scanning functions.

Passengers experiencing baggage delays now have the option to transmit AirTag location data directly to Lufthansa’s baggage tracing system via the app. It’s now possible to sort out oversized luggage or reserve a spot for your pet in the cabin without calling anyone. Just a few taps in the app are enough. Additionally, individuals traveling under a group booking can now cancel and request a refund for their segment through digital channels.

Many airlines are moving away from crowded help desks and shifting more responsibility into passengers’ hands through mobile tools. Travelers heading out this summer might find themselves spending less time in queues and dealing with fewer headaches when flights shift or get delayed, thanks to the latest app tools. From document checks to last-minute schedule fixes, travelers now have more control without relying as much on staff at the airport.
