Lufthansa and SMS have teamed up to provide Miles & More members with electronic notification of flight cancellations and gate changes.

Members need only log into the “my profile” section of the Lufthansa Web site, http://www.lufthansa.com, click on “Flight Cancellation” or “Gate Change” and enter their mobile telephone number. All changes affecting the booked flights are then sent automatically by SMS to the mobile phone.

Information about departure changes and waiting list confirmations are also expected to become available soon. In addition, mobile check-in via SMS will be possible before the end of this year.
