In future, guests will be able to send and receive unlimited text and picture messages free of charge via their mobile devices during their flight with Discover Airlines – regardless of their travel class. This is already possible today, but is still subject to a charge. Long-haul travelers can currently purchase various FlyNet Internet packages in advance or on board. The packages can be used with both Discover Airlines and Lufthansa.
“The introduction of this new complimentary service is a great upgrade for our guests. It also pays into our commitment to provide a seamless travel experience for guests combining Discover Airlines and Lufthansa flights,” says Marco Götz, Chief Commercial Officer of Discover Airlines.
