Lufthansa to launch Amadeus Affinity Shopper in UK next week, US before Christmas
December 4, 2009 By 7 Comments
Lufthansa plans to launch Amadeus Affinity Shopper on the airline’s Germany and U.K. websites next week, and its introduction on Lufthansa’s U.S. website could take place as soon as in two weeks, an official says.
Marcus Casey, who heads up Lufthansa’s global websites, says the new Amadeus shopping engine, which queries users about their interests and price and doesn’t begin with dates and destinations, will have a direct link on the airline’s home pages.
Affinity Shopper, which will have new Lufthansa branding — to be announced next week — on the airline’s websites, will be an add-on to the existing Amadeus-provided shopping and pricing engine, and thus won’t replace it.

Lufthansa has an equity stake in JetBlue and the two airlines recently kicked off a codeshare agreement from 12 of JetBlue’s U.S. origin cities.
But, their ties also have evolved into a vendor-client relationship as the two signed a five-year contract in which JetBlue employees will use Lufthansa Systems’ myIDTravel corporate travel-management solution, which supports self-service e-ticketing for interline flights.
Interline flights often still require much paper ticketing, according to Lufthansa Systems. The airline’s IT arm says myIDTravel will enable JetBlue employee-travelers to use electronic ID tickets when traveling on interline flights.
A toy for those who get Twitter withdrawal on flights

Or, keeping in line with much of Twitter’s usage, this service from Lufthansa could also be targeting those who want to show off where they are (and think their followers care).
Jokes aside, Lufthansa has tapped into the social media zeitgeist by creating a tool which allows Twitter of Facebook members to send a status message to their profiles mid-flight.
