Developed by the Lufthansa Innovation Hub, AirlineCheckins is compatible with iOS and Android devices, and is currently used by more than 200 airlines around the world.

According to the Lufthansa Group, the AirlineCheckins app now lets users monitor the check-in status of their flights, as well as any updates or changes in flight schedules or gate departures by using an alert feature.

Additionally, personal information like seating preferences, frequent flyer programs or travel partners can all be updated in the app.

A response to customer demand

Developing the AirlineCheckins app came about after 2,500 existing AirlinesCheckin users were surveyed by the Lufthansa Innovation Hub.

"Our users are fans of automatic check-ins and with the app, we are now responding to the need for greater transparency and faster access to the service," said Kristian Weymar, AirlineCheckins project lead at the Lufthansa Innovation Hub. "Moreover, the survey has given us valuable insights into how we can further develop the service for our frequent flyers. On this basis, we are now continually expanding our app with additional travel services."

The Lufthansa Innovation Hub continues to develop the AirlinesCheckin app, with talks of a subscription-based model in the near future.
