Recently, Lufthansa’s Social Media Team in Frankfurt introduced Blue Legends. This App was built upon Foursquare technology which allows those of us flying on Lufthansa to “Check In” along our travels and earn Badges, Trophies, Mayorships and other accolades.
Blue Legends has been in place since June 28 and has been a great success thus far. I have heard back from many readers who are enjoying the new App and are looking forward to more from Blue Legends.
To this end, the Lufthansa Social Media team will be meeting in the near future to review all of the feedback that has been provided to them, as well as to discuss future expansion of Blue Legends. They have asked me to reach out to my readers who are familiar with Blue Legends to seek their feedback and ideas.
If you have used Blue Legends and have constructive feedback and ideas on what you would like to see from Blue Legends going forward, please send me an email to Lufthansa Flyer or leave your comments as a reply to this post.
For your efforts, I will be giving away a “Lufthansa Fan Pack” to one lucky winner chosen at random. Thanks!
Its own app as others suggest; and more reliability of its features. For example: my wife and I checked in for the same flight and didn’t get the flying with friends credit. Further bonus integration for frequent flyers as well.
A scavenger hunt would be cool!
It really needs its own app.
It seems a bit repetitive to integrate the app via foursquare. It’d also be neat if they gave foursquare badges instead, since most of my friends don’t use Blue Legends.
I suggest ample “warnings” that the Blue Legends “check in” does not replace the actual flight check in – and even then, there will be those who miss that point. Too bad the Blue Legends (Foursquare) action has to be labeled as a “check in”.
A standalone mobile app would be a much more elegant solution than a website. However, the absolutely key change that needs to be implemented ASAP is some sort of anti-cheating system. It’s incredible how many users are abusing the app by checking in via Foursquare mobile website (which doesn’t track the location). I suggest, for instance, that the Blue Legends system search for the given name and surname (all 4sq users have to provide them) against the flight one is supposedly taking, and to only accept and publish the check-in if a match is found. Since they can’t control 4sq, they can (and have to) control their own app. This way, the point will quickly be lost.
They are working on purging the accounts of the Abusers, and should have a fix for it going forward. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
