Up in the Air: Airport

Lufthansa’s passengers can now download digital newspapers and magazines and reserve items to purchase on board before they even start their journey.

Passengers flying from Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal will be able to download a selection of movies to their smartphones and tablets ahead of departure.

The so-called “Digiboo Zones” allow passengers to browse and download movies and TV shows to their personal electronic devices ahead of departure.

The digital smart screens in the baggage reclaim hall include a “journey comparison generator”, which displays the various onward travel options.
