Lufthansa allows check-in with digital vaccine pass

Lufthansa said that passengers with the digital vaccination certificate can once again check in faster and receive their boarding pass, adding that pre-check of certificates by a Lufthansa Service Centre was possible 72 hours before departure.

Travellers present the digital vaccination certificate, which proves full vaccination protection, either via app or on a printout at check-in at the airport. There, it is read and the boarding pass is issued directly and without complications.

This eliminates the need to take various papers and proofs to the airport. It also makes it much more difficult to misuse forged vaccination certificates, as the system compares the data from the QR code with the booking and passenger data.

In the future, mobile check-in via smartphone will also be faster and easier: On selected routes, it will soon be possible to scan QR vaccination certificates with the Lufthansa app or to load them digitally into the app. The app recognizes the QR code and uses this information to create the boarding pass.

Anyone who is concerned that they do not have the right certificates for the trip can have them checked by a Lufthansa Service Centre on selected flights up to 72 hours before departure. These can be proof of tests, survived Covid-19 disease and now vaccinations.

Confirmations of digital entry applications can also be checked in this way. The airline recommends that its guests continue to carry the original printed certificates with them on the trip, in addition to the digital proof, until further notice. – TradeArabia News Service
