Lufthansa releases Windows Phone 8 app

Lufthansa has expanded its mobile services with a smartphone app for users of Windows Phone 8. A special feature is the live-tile function with which the most important information on flight status – continually updated – is pinned on the start screen without the need to open the app. As with the other mobile operating systems, the Lufthansa app provides easy access to the entire Lufthansa timetable. Once a suitable connection is found, it can be booked on the move immediately. Passengers can also check in whenever they want and file their electronic boarding pass in their smartphone. When travelling abroad this saves them the roaming fees they would otherwise incur by downloading the boarding pass anew. The free app is available for download at www.lufthansa.com/WindowsPhone8 .
With the new app, Lufthansa has now adapted to all of the most widely-used mobile smartphone operating systems. Whether with Android, Apple iOS, BlackBerry and also Windows Phone 8, more than 98% of all smartphone users, worldwide, can utilise the Lufthansa app and benefit from its extensive functions.
The new app was developed in cooperation between Lufthansa, Microsoft and Nokia, and implemented by SapientNitro.
