Lufthansa enhances onboard dining with new options

Lufthansa is expanding its onboard dining options, giving Economy and Business Class passengers more choice through new hot meals and an enhanced pre-order service across its short- and long-haul network.

Summary:

Lufthansa is expanding its Onboard Delights programme with five new hot meals available to Economy Class passengers on short- and medium-haul flights from September 2026.
The new hot meals can be pre-ordered between four weeks and 24 hours before departure, giving passengers greater choice and a more predictable onboard dining experience.
Lufthansa is also expanding its Business Class pre-selection service to most long-haul flights returning to Germany, with six main courses now available to choose from.

Lufthansa is expanding its onboard culinary offerings and, starting in September, will provide passengers with additional options to personalise their travel experience. 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 programme was introduced in February 2023 and has been continuously expanded since then.

Starting on 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.

“With these hot meals, we’re expanding Onboard Delights to offer our passengers on longer continental flights an additional selection,” said Olaf Mauthe, Head of Hospitality Catering Management, Lufthansa. “Pre-ordering guarantees our guests that their desired meal will be waiting for them onboard – for a relaxed and predictable journey.”

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 on 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.
