In order to avoid quarantine on arrival for its travellers, the airline Lufthansa will impose rapid and mandatory tests for Covid-19 before take-off on some long-haul routes.

[Updated September 25, 2020 3:40 PM] As part of a pilot project that could allow passengers to avoid quarantine upon arrival at their destination, Lufthansa will impose rapid and mandatory Covid-19 tests before take-off on some long-haul routes. The German airline will initially launch its pilot project on flights to the United States. If the test is negative, she would like the passenger in question to no longer be bound by a travel ban and not go through quarantine upon arrival.

You can book your Lufthansa flight tickets online, on the airline’s website but also via the mobile app. Once the tickets have been purchased, your reservation can be modified on the Lufthansa website: choice of seat, cancellation, order of special menus, subscription to travel insurance, reservation of a hotel or a car… For this, enter your booking code or your Lufthansa ID on the View page

You must check in before boarding your flight. The airline Lufthansa advises its customers to opt for online check-in (on a computer or via the mobile application), accessible from 23 hours before departure.

All you have to do is enter your booking code or your ticket number as well as your first and last name to access online check-in. You can also check in at an automatic terminal at the airport. For this, it is mandatory to be in possession of an electronic ticket.
