Lufthansa Facebook app offers insider travel tips

TRAVELLERS can now explore Europe off the beaten track with the new SceneSpotter app from Lufthansa (http://apps.facebook.com/scenespotter).

Locals and insiders offer personal travel tips on Lufthansa’s 20 European destinations via the app on Facebook, giving travellers information about interesting sights, culinary highlights and nightlife hotspots not found in travel guides.

Users can plan their trip and share their itineraries with friends on Facebook. They can also add their own personal tips or recommend existing tips to other users. SceneSpotter can also be used to book Lufthansa flights and selected private accommodation through the online platform Airbnb.

SceneSpotter has launched with 20 of Lufthansa’s European destinations: Barcelona, Bergen, Berlin, Birmingham, Bologna, Budapest, Geneva, Helsinki, Istanbul, London, Milan, Manchester, Moscow, Paris, Reykjavik, Rome, Stockholm, Tel Aviv, Vienna and Westerland (on the island of Sylt).
