Do you get food with Lufthansa?

On Lufthansa short and medium-haul flights we serve a variety of food and beverages – depending on the length of the flight and its destination.



Yes, Lufthansa continues to provide complimentary food and beverage service, though the extent of the offering depends heavily on the length of your flight and your travel class. On long-haul international flights (such as from the US to Germany), all passengers, including those in Economy Class, receive at least one multi-course hot meal and a second lighter meal or snack before landing, along with a full range of complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. In Premium Economy, Business, and First Class, the dining is more elevated, often featuring menus designed by top chefs and served on china. However, for short-haul and medium-haul flights within Europe, Lufthansa’s "Onboard Delights" concept means that Economy Class passengers usually receive only a small complimentary snack (like a chocolate) and a bottle of water, while more substantial meals and specialized coffees must be purchased from an onboard menu. Business Class on these shorter routes still includes a full meal service. If you have specific dietary needs, such as kosher, halal, or gluten-free meals, Lufthansa allows you to pre-order special meals at no extra cost for long-haul flights, provided you make the request at least 24 hours before departure.
