gategourmet, working alongside Lufthansa’s culinary teams and renowned chef Johann Lafer, has crafted a menu that blends regional flavors with a fresh, modern European touch. Drawing on decades of expertise and a passion for quality, gategourmet has designed a dining experience that not only meets Lufthansa’s high standards but also brings restaurant-worthy meals to the skies.
One of the standout features of this new offering is the expanded variety of meal options. On flights lasting approximately two hours, Business Class travelers can now choose between vegetarian and non-vegetarian cold meals, moving away from the previous single-option approach. For flights of three hours or more, the number of hot meal choices has increased from two to three, providing passengers with even more delectable options.
A key innovation in this offering is the ‘Pre-Select’ service, available on flights exceeding two hours. This feature allows passengers to pre-order their preferred hot meals online before departure, choosing from up to nine different dishes. With advanced meal planning and logistics expertise, gategourmet ensures that every order is fulfilled seamlessly, optimizing efficiency, reducing food waste, and elevating the in-flight dining experience.
Caroline Drischel, Senior Vice President Customer Journey at Lufthansa Group, highlighted the airline’s commitment to a premium passenger experience. This collaboration supports Lufthansa’s vision, delivering a menu that offers variety while meeting exacting quality standards.
gategourmet takes pride in its ability to innovate and adapt to evolving passenger preferences and this partnership reflects a broader industry shift towards personalization and sustainability. Through refined meal planning, waste reduction, and diverse menu offerings, new benchmarks are being set for in-flight dining.
