Lufthansa Increasing Pre-Order Meal Selection On Long-Haul Flights

Lufthansa’s in-flight service is being expanded, and it will provide more variety, entertainment, and sustainability in the future. Beginning in mid-August, Business Class travellers on long-haul flights from Germany will be able to select from a larger selection of main meals as early as one month and up to 24 hours before departure. A total of six different regional and seasonal menus will be available for pre-order. This allows for a more relaxing flight while also optimising food consumption and reducing waste.

Lufthansa will begin delivering an extended selection of hot beverages in its Onboard Delights Service on European flights on August 1. In place of the former disposable cup with a plastic cover, a new, sustainable reusable cup made of recyclable plastic will be utilised. In addition to high-quality instant coffee specialty like latte macchiato, three tea varieties and hot chocolate will be available in the new cup in the future. The Lufthansa Group’s passenger airlines have established a target of totally eliminating single-use plastic and single-use aluminium on board by 2025.

An enhanced entertainment selection for children and teenagers is another new feature on Lufthansa long-distance flights. Future versions of the airline’s “e-journals” media library will provide a wider range of age-appropriate reading options for children passengers in the Children’s Media Box. It offers a huge selection of freely downloadable periodicals and magazines in many different languages. The younger travellers can occupy the time while waiting at the gate and throughout their flight by colouring pages. This is also helped by the new kid-friendly podcasts that are now offered without charge on short- and medium-haul flights through the FlyNet platform.

For the summer, the kid-friendly in-flight entertainment programme has been enlarged. On long-haul flights, adolescent passengers have access to more than 50 films, TV shows and audio programmes. At the Lufthansa gates and playgrounds in Munich’s Terminal 2 and Frankfurt’s Terminal 1, kids can access free children’s TV shows and audiobooks by scanning QR codes. This is particularly relevant during the summer months.
