Advance seat reservation: Switch to mono-coupon EMDs
(Update: May 2023)
Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa and SWISS are changing from multi-coupon EMDs to mono-coupon EMDs for advance seat reservations (ASR). This means:
- When booking chargeable seats on Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Lufthansa, and SWISS flights (including wetlease flights), a separate EMD (mono-coupon) will be issued for each segment
- The switch affects all distribution channels, i.e. GDS and NDC as well as the Lufthansa Group airlines' own distribution channels
- The transition in NDC (Lufthansa Group airlines Direct NDC API and SPRK) will be completed by the end of July 2023
- For the GDS Amadeus and own distribution channels, the switch started in April 2023. From the end of September 2023, only mono-coupon EMDs will be accepted by the Lufthansa Group airlines
- All multi-coupon EMDs already issued will remain valid
- If a GDS does not offer mono-coupon EMDs, advance seat reservations can no longer be booked via this GDS from the end of September 2023. As an alternative, your customers can book a chargeable advance seat reservation on the respective airline website

The Lufthansa Group airlines are constantly expanding their cooperation with local rail providers. For example, we’re offering a rail alternative on any domestic flight to and from Frankfurt, and are now bringing passengers from five European countries by train to our hubs.
Through smart planning and optimized processes, train or bus journeys are perfectly coordinated with flights so that passengers can enjoy a seamless travel experience regardless of the different modes of transport.
