Starting this summer, Lufthansa offers unlimited, free messaging on its intercontinental flights. With this new feature, passengers can send and receive any number of messages during the flight, including photos, on their own smartphone or tablet via the familiar apps, regardless of travel class.
Previously, the service was only available on short- and medium-haul flights.
“The introduction of free messaging on long-haul flights is another important step in continuously improving our customers’ overall travel experience,” said Dieter Vranckx, CCO, Lufthansa Group.” We will continue to focus our efforts on services that are highly relevant to our customers.”
Lufthansa Group airlines SWISS and Austrian Airlines will also offer free messaging on select long-haul flights.
