LH launches new ancillary payment option

THE Lufthansa Group is
introducing Amadeus Airport
Pay, which enables secure and
simple payments for ancillaries
at all check-in counters and
gates with card terminals, at
the end of this month.
This new service, developed
by Amadeus and Ingenico, will
be available at 170 airports
around the world, including OR
Tambo International Airport
and Cape Town International
Airport.
Customers will be able to pay
for ancillaries, such as excess
baggage, with chip cards
(debit or credit cards), girocard
payments and compatible
digital wallets. Airline staff
will also be able to initiate
compensation payments with
these terminals in case a
passenger voluntarily steps
back from an overbooked
flight, for example.
