Lufthansa has announced that it will significantly upgrade the culinary offering in Business Class on short- and medium-haul flights from February 26, 2025. In collaboration with celebrity chef Johann Lafer and catering partner Gate Gourmet, a new concept has been developed to offer passengers a larger selection of high-quality dishes.
The new catering concept includes a variety of cold and warm dishes, with a focus on fresh, regional ingredients from Europe. Passengers can look forward to new starters, main courses and desserts that combine elements of local cuisine with European influences.
Particular attention is paid to the option of selecting an individual menu before the flight. With the "Pre-Select" service, Business Class passengers on flights of two hours or more can select up to nine hot meals online in advance. This option not only offers a larger selection, but also helps to optimize food planning and thus reduce food waste.
Lufthansa officials emphasize that the introduction of "Pre-Select" on short and medium-haul routes underlines the company's efforts to offer guests a consistently high-quality travel experience. Pre-ordering meals is already available on Swiss flights and is also planned for Austrian Airlines.
