Found on the Internet - Lufthansa is offering the world's first fully-integrated ticketless travel system, made possible with a credit card-sized device called the ChipCard. The airline will begin issuing ChipCards to passengers on March 1. Travelers will find that the ChipCard makes flying easier by reducing the time it takes to check-in and board a flight. However, unlike the electronic ticketing services now offered by other carriers, Lufthansa's ChipCard does more than just eliminate the need for an airline ticket and boarding pass. The card also enables passengers to select seating preference, automatically credit frequent flyer accounts and even engage in credit card transactions.
