Engage in Chat Conversations During Long-Haul Flights with Lufthansa - Instant chat available during Lufthansa's long-distance flights
We've got some fantastic news for all Lufthansa flyers! Your in-flight chatting game just leveled up. As of now, you can chat your heart out for free on the web during Lufthansa's long-haul flights. Previously, the airline charged for this service on long-distance journeys, while it was free on short and medium-haul flights since early 2024. The bigger data packages for movie streaming, however, still come at a cost. 🎥💰
Setting the Boundaries 🚫
With this new update, you're now free to use messaging services like WhatsApp, Signal, or WeChat without limitations. Catch up with your family, friends, or colleagues during the flight. And yes, sending and exchanging photos is on the menu too! But remember, phone calls and video chats are verboten to keep disruptions to a minimum. 📞📵
