Lufthansa has enabled automatic check-in for all domestic
flights and many within Europe. Twenty-three hours prior to departure, the
airline now sends boarding passes to those passengers who provide personal
details in their profiles or Miles & More accounts. Passengers then can use
standard check-in services like seat changes and printing out luggage tags. They
also can opt out of the service in their profiles. Automatic check-in is
available only for flights within the Schengen Area, which includes most of the
European Union but not the U.K., Ireland or some Eastern European countries. Last
summer, Lufthansa launched automatic check-in for passengers that booked
with a unique email address generated by the carrier.
