Lufthansa Turns Your Mobile Into Your Boarding Pass

Passengers flying Lufthansa are getting a new reason to love their mobile phone.

Various news organizations are reporting that passengers flying the airline from Hamburg to Munich or Frankfurt will now be able to use a new mobile boarding pass service.

Passengers with web-enabled p hones will be able to be sent an electronic boarding pass by email or SMS link. An onscreen 2D barcode can be read by a scanner at the gate.

Word has it hackers have been able to do this with just about any boarding pass using iPhones, but that's another story.
