The Leading Airport Magazine

Fraport and Lufthansa have partnered to create new digital shopping possibilities for travellers at Frankfurt Airport. The ‘Lounge Shopping’ initiative is the first joint service platform available in selected Lufthansa lounges at Frankfurt Airport.

Fraport and Lufthansa have launched ‘Lounge Shopping’ at Frankfurt Airport, which enables passengers to use iPads for purchasing exclusive products from airport stores and have them delivered within half an hour.

The platform enables passengers to use iPads for purchasing exclusive products from airport stores and have them delivered within half an hour. The online product range extends from fine delicacies and spirits or fashionable accessories to practical travel goods and leather goods.

The product range will be further expanded in the coming months. Meanwhile, in addition to ‘Lounge Shopping’ for departing travellers, a new ‘Inflight Shopping’ service for arriving passengers will also be introduced during the first quarter of this year. On long-haul flights to Frankfurt, Lufthansa passengers may purchase exclusive products from airport stores during their flight and collect them at the arrival gate immediately after landing.

Another digital service offered by Lufthansa and Fraport in the near future will be the new ‘Taste & Travel’ Gourmet Service. The airline’s passengers will be able to use iPads available in the check-in area and near security checkpoints to choose menus for delivery to their departure gate. These will be delivered in high quality, heat-insulating packaging thereby enabling travellers to enjoy their chosen meal while on the aircraft.
