Buy fresh food at a lower price with "Lufthansa Onboard Delights Last Minute”
(Update: June 2023)
Lufthansa passengers have the opportunity on all cross-border European flights to Frankfurt and Munich, on which Onboard Delights are offered, to purchase fresh meals, such as salads, bowls and sandwiches, that have not been sold by then shortly before landing at a lower price of € 3.50 and take them with them. As the fresh meals are deliberately prepared without colorants or preservatives, they have a short shelf life and must be disposed of if they are not sold on the designated flights. Onboard Delights Last Minute is therefore another step towards reducing food waste on board.
Austrian, SWISS and Eurowings have already been offering unsold food at reduced prices since 2022. As a result, about 80,000 food products were consumed in 2022 that would otherwise have been disposed of.
