Lufthansa and Swiss now with joint check-in facilities
Lufthansa and Swiss customers will enjoy further tangible benefits from the ever-closer collaboration between the two airline partners with the start of the new winter timetable period on Sunday, October 30. In addition to providing more destinations, denser frequencies and better connections, the partners will be bringing all their operations “under one roof” at their Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich hubs, offering customers the use of both partners’ lounges and allowing frequent flyer miles to be earned and redeemed throughout both partners’ networks.
As a further innovation, customers will now be able to use electronic tickets (etix) for travel on combined Swiss and Lufthansa flights, enabling them to enjoy all the benefits that etix offers on services to Swiss and Lufthansa e-ticket destinations. For further customer convenience, Swiss flights can now be booked online via Lufthansa’s www.lufthansa.com website, while Lufthansa flights can be similarly booked online at www.swiss.com .
Coordinated services between Switzerland and Germany in the new winter schedules
With the start of the new 2005/06 winter timetable period, all Lufthansa and Swiss services between Switzerland and Germany will be operated as codeshares, and will also be further harmonised. For passengers this means more frequencies, more destinations and – through schedule coordination – better connections at the partners’ three hubs of Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich. Swiss offers services to 69 destinations in 41 countries in its new winter schedules, while Lufthansa serves 181 points in 76 countries. Swiss and Lufthansa customers travelling between Switzerland and Germany can now choose from no fewer than 563 weekly connections.
