Lufthansa German Airlines operates daily from Dubai to Frankfurt and six times a week from Dubai to Munich offering convenient onward flights to destinations in Europe and the US.

Peter Pollak, General Manager Passenger Sales UAE , Director Gulf & Pakistan,
Lufthansa German Airlines commenting on the introduction of the Home Printed Boarding pass:

"Lufthansa prides itself in setting trends in the industry to the benefits of our customers.
We are proud to announce a new service for our Dubai passengers, providing greater flexibility and time to spare before departing for their flights."

"The Home Printed Boarding Pass is one of many online and web-based tools, Lufthansa passengers can use to book, check-in and now as well board their flights."

From the choice of booking the flight and checking in online, passengers travelling with carry-on luggage can make their way directly to security control with the 'Home Printed Boarding Pass'.

The printed boarding card contains all the flight-relevant information: the name of the traveller, flight number as well as a 2D barcode for the purpose of authentification and right of access to the gate area.

After checking in online at Lufthansa's website, passengers can print out of the online boarding card for, up to 180 minutes prior to departure from Dubai. Passengers with luggage can drop their bags at specially marked counters until 60 minutes before the flight leaves.

The Lufthansa brand is synonymous with aviation expertise and acknowledged service standards. Most recently, Lufthansa announced the introduction of a range of innovations such as the launch of a 'Mobile Boarding Pass', whereby the customer receives the boarding pass by simply sending an email or SMS.

This service has been available since April 2008 for flights between Hamburg and Munich or Frankfurt. Boarding via mobile phone will be available on most intra-German flights from the Summer 2008.
