Passengers flying on Lufthansa’s Embraer and CRJ aircraft can now use their mobile electronic devices for the entire duration of their flight (Taxi/Takeoff/Flight/Landing). The Embraer and CRJs join LH’s other long and medium haul aircraft that have been previously certified for the use of mobile devices in-flight.
This policy came into force a few days ago as LH received authorization from the German Federal Aviation Authority. Additionally, LH had to update each aircraft’s operating manual to account for the change in policy.
The policy still precludes the use of mobile devices to make phone calls while the airplane is in flight or when the aircraft doors are closed. Addtionally, the use of apps such as FaceTime or Skype is not allowed to be used on aircraft equipped with Wifi capability.

In the coming days and weeks, Business Class passengers traveling on Lufthansa will be greeted by a new and improved Amenity Kit. Considering the Business Class kits used in the past, this looks like a fairly good upgrade.
The kit, from Samsonite, will feature a few minor updates to the contents as LH shifts to ‘Korres’ products. The kit will be available in Black and White versions and should be showing up on long haul flights very soon, if not already in circulation….

For those of you residing in the United Kingdom (or at least have a valid mailing address within it), Lufthansa is giving you the opportunity to win an iPad. The contest celebrates the recent launch of their JetFriends app which is specifically geared towards entertaining young children with travel and airplane related games, challenges, etc.
The contest is a relatively easy one to enter. All you need to do is to capture a funny quote from your child and submit it as the entry. The top 6 quotes as determined by Lufthansa will win a prize. The overall 1st place winner will receive an Apple iPad. The remaining finalists will receive a Beach Goodie Bag.
The contest runs through September 15 and you are allowed only one entry per person. You may want to start keeping track of all the precious things that little ‘Ruttiger’ has to say and then submit his funniest comment near the entry deadline. Use this link to visit the Contest’s Entry Page.
In addition to this contest, if you sign up for JetFriends, you’ll find another contest within the website that will give away a child’s snorkel set for the funniest travel or holiday related photo. You’ll find details for that contest here.
To find out more about the JetFriends app, please visit the JetFriends homepage where you can learn more and sign up so that your child can be entertained and educated for hours!
