NOVEL IDEA: The Lufthansa Flight Mode app keeps track of time spent offline by users, and each minute of downtime will result in additional funding for the Help Alliance charity.

At a time when most airlines are striving to bring passengers the in-flight WiFi they so eagerly demand, Lufthansa has introduced an app that encourages "digital detox" before, during and after a flight. 

In the midst of the busy holiday season, the German airline is encouraging customers to switch off their devices' Internet connectivity not only during flights but also before and after, allowing them to take a true break.
