Lufthansa to allow check-in with digital vaccine pass

Berlin: Lufthansa will allow passengers to use new digital COVID-19 vaccination certificates at check-in for their flights, the German airline said on Thursday.

Lufthansa said passengers would be able to show the digital proof of vaccination either on their phones or on a printout when checking in at the airport, and the boarding pass would then be issued. "This eliminates the need to juggle different papers and proofs. It also significantly reduces the risk of misuse of fake vaccination certificates," Lufthansa said.
