Automated check-in

Save valuable time and enjoy more relaxed travel! With our automated check-in, you will receive your boarding pass easily by text or email directly to your mobile phone 23 hours before your flight departs.

Automated check-in for Lufthansa flights in Germany and Europe

Travel ID profile users & Miles & More members

  • As a Travel ID profile user and Miles & More customer, you can now enjoy an even more relaxed start to your journey. Automated check-in is already enabled for you on flights in the Schengen Area,* and for flights which have been booked up to 24 hours before departure, you will automatically receive your boarding pass 23 hours before departure sent to the email address or mobile phone number entered in your profile.
  • Choose in your Travel ID and Miles & More profile whether you wish to receive your mobile boarding pass as a text or without encryption in an email. To receive your mobile boarding pass by text, you must have saved both your mobile phone number and your email address (so we can send you your passenger receipt) in your profile.**
  • All self-service options continue to be available: seat change, home-printed bag tag, eJournals and check-in cancellation.
  • You can disable the automated check-in option in your customer profile at any time.
  • Automated check-in cannot be used for flights which do not take place completely in the Schengen Area. In these instances, you will receive a separate check-in invitation as usual.

Register via the link in your booking confirmation – every time you book a flight

  • If you are not a Travel ID profile user or Miles & More member, you can also register for automated check-in via the link in your booking confirmation.
  • In this case, the service will only apply to the booked flight and only to a confirmed booking.
  • You will receive your boarding pass – depending on your choice – by email (unencrypted) or text** to the email address or mobile phone number you have provided.

If, after automated check-in, you wish to change your seat or cancel your check-in, you can do so via the link in your mobile boarding pass. You can rebook in the Lufthansa app or at lufthansa.com under “My Bookings”, provided that your ticket’s fare conditions permit rebooking.

Please be aware of the check-in deadlines – the times by when you must be in possession of your boarding pass and have checked in your baggage. These deadlines vary from airport to airport.
