byAir vs. Lufthansa

The Lufthansa app handles booking, check-in, boarding passes, seats, additional baggage, Travel ID, Miles & More, official trip updates, disruption choices, and eligible baggage tracking.

byAir adds a carrier-neutral timeline, independent provider context, cross-airline history and statistics, and early delay signals on eligible flights.

One official app. One independent trip view.

Lufthansa controls travel tied to its airline systems and group check-in. byAir adds one view across partners, separate bookings, and the rest of the trip.
