Lufthansa Group is changing access to digital check-in across most of its airlines. Aviation.Direct reported on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, that passengers will increasingly need a registered Travel ID account to use the Lufthansa Group websites and mobile applications for online check-in.

The change covers Lufthansa, Swiss, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Air Dolomiti, Edelweiss and Discover Airlines. The existing process based on a booking code or ticket number and passenger name will therefore be largely replaced for individual travelers. Eurowings and ITA Airways remain outside the rule for now.

Four-phase rollout across airports

The transition is scheduled in four phases during November. It began with the Schengen area and European regional airports. Munich and Zurich, together with departures from North America, are due to be included from mid-November. Frankfurt and the remaining international stations are scheduled to follow toward the end of the month.

Travelers without a digital account can still check in at airport counters and self-service kiosks. Exceptions apply to selected charter and tourist routes, group bookings and codeshare flights operated by partner airlines. For a joint booking, one passenger account is sufficient for the group.

For Lufthansa, the rollout strengthens the link between its digital sales and service channels and individual customer relationships. Aviation.Direct also reports that the group is presenting the change as a way to harmonize digital interfaces and improve contact during disruptions. For passengers, the immediate trade-off is an additional registration step in exchange for continued app- and website-based check-in.

Lufthansa stock trades above Monday close

Lufthansa stock traded at 8.84 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 12:05 CET on Tuesday, November 10, 1.73 percent above the Xetra close of Monday, November 9. The digital check-in change is operational rather than a direct earnings announcement, so its near-term relevance for investors lies mainly in customer access, service processes and the group’s broader digital integration.
