Frankfurt—AirPlus this month began a pilot project here in which travelers can pay for meals with AirPlus cards via mobile devices,

executives announced at a Global Business Travel Association conference. Through a partnership with Berlin-based restaurant mobile point-of-sale supplier Orderbird, the program allows users to check in at restaurants and, once their order has been taken, pay through their mobile device without waiting for the check to be delivered. AirPlus later plans to integrate payment tools for parking and taxis into its system as well, according to the company.
