Served Hot: Lufthansa Expands Its “Onboard Delights” Catering Offer

• Starting 1 September: Five hot meals in Economy Class on short- and medium-haul flights

• The Pre-Select offer in Business Class on long-haul flights will also be expanded

• Orders can be placed from four weeks to 24 hours before departure

Lufthansa is expanding its onboard culinary offerings and, starting in September, will provide passengers with additional options to personalize their travel experience.

Onboard Delights: More Choices on Short- and Medium-Haul Flights

With Onboard Delights, Lufthansa offers a selection of fresh meals, snacks, and beverages for purchase in Economy Class on short- and medium-haul flights. Passengers can pre-order some of these food items before departure. The program was introduced in February 2023 and has been continuously expanded since then.

Starting 1 September, 2026, five hot meals will be added to the menu. They are available exclusively via pre-order and can be placed from four weeks to 24 hours before departure.

Five hot meals to choose from

The following hot meals are available on continental routes with a flight time of two hours or more:

· Beef roulade with potato dumplings

· Chicken teriyaki

· Tortellini in tomato sauce with zucchini

· “Die Echte” currywurst from Dönninghaus

· Cheeseburger from “HANS IM GLÜCK”

The beef roulade, chicken teriyaki, and tortellini are served with a dessert, while the currywurst is served the classic way with a roll.

Olaf Mauthe, Head of Hospitality Catering Management at Lufthansa, says:

“With these hot meals, we’re expanding Onboard Delights to offer our passengers on longer continental flights an additional selection. Pre-ordering guarantees our guests that their desired meal will be waiting for them on board - for a relaxed and predictable journey.”

New Offering in Business Class as well

Lufthansa is also offering a new service to Business Class passengers on long-haul flights. Since August 2023, they have been able to pre-select their main course on flights departing from Frankfurt and Munich. Starting 1 September, 2026, this service will be expanded to most long-haul flights returning to Germany. Passengers will benefit from a wider selection: Starting four weeks up to 24 hours before departure, they can now choose from six main courses instead of the previous three.
