From British Airways to Iberia, to the entire Lufthansa Group, which has been offering high-quality products, fresh meals, packaged snacks, and beverages to passengers on European flights at different times for two years now.
Fresh meals, such as salads, poké and sandwiches, Are prepared fresh daily by the catering company Gate Gourmet according to dean&david recipes in the Frankfurt and Munich locations. Dallmayr's specialty cakes are also offered. Because they are deliberately prepared without dyes or preservatives, they have a short shelf life and must be disposed of if not sold on designated flights.
Now Lufthansa Launches Onboard Delights Last Minute Initiative.: passengers have the opportunity to purchase fresh produce and not yet sold just before landing on all flights to Frankfurt and Munich On which Onboard Delights are offered. Passengers will be able to order what is left over and pay only 3.5€ per plate. The German airline's choice is another step toward reducing food waste, after Lufthansa already introduced the possibility of pre-ordering these products in February this year.
Another new feature of Lufthansa Onboard Delights is that. Award miles can be collected and redeemed when buying food and drinks from the Onboard Delights range. Upon presentation of the Miles & More card, at least one award mile per euro is credited.
Sustainability is a top priority for the Lufthansa Group. On short-haul flights, the amount of food waste must be reduced by 50% by 2025 compared to 2019. To achieve this goal, the Lufthansa Group is optimizing its catering processes, offering passengers the option of ordering meals in advance and reducing the amount of products kept in stock as standard. As a result, Lufthansa has already been able to reduce the percentage of discarded perishable food by 45% in 2022 compared to the previous year.
