Lufthansa Group expressed its interest and plans about integrating Web3 technologies into its airline business earlier in 2023.
According to the announcement, airline passengers can scan their boarding passes using the app and exchange them with NFT trading cards. Within the app, users must connect their crypto wallets to mint and transfer their Uptrip NFTs. Once passengers complete specific NFT collections, they will be eligible for rewards such as flight upgrades, airport lounge access, frequent flyer status or award miles.
Kristian Weymar, an executive at Lufthansa Innovation Hub, said in the announcement that Web3 is in its early stages as users are curious but still hesitate to dive in. Weymar highlighted that the project attempts to make Web3 accessible to their customers. According to Christopher Siegloch, the head of program development at Miles & More, there has been a lot of interest in Uptrip. The announcement noted that there are over 20,000 sign-ups and 200,000 NFT trading cards minted.
