Within the coming weeks, Lufthansa might be making a minor however constructive change to its lengthy haul enterprise class expertise.
New Lufthansa enterprise class meal pre-order function
As of mid-August 2023, Lufthansa will enable lengthy haul enterprise class passengers on flights departing Germany to pick out their essential course upfront of their flight. This function might be accessible between one month and 24 hours of departure.
What’s good is that this isn’t only a means to make sure that you get your first alternative of meals, however you’ll even have entry to an expanded meal choice in comparison with what you’d be provided onboard. In Lufthansa’s lengthy haul enterprise class, there are usually three essential course meal choices. In the meantime the pre-order menu can have six completely different choices, together with regional and seasonal menus.
These six menu decisions are along with with the ability to order a particular meal, for these with particular dietary restrictions.
Lufthansa is describing this initiative as a option to cut back waste. That’s as a result of the extra precisely an airline can predict what folks will need, the less further meals will should be loaded, to make sure folks find yourself with what they’d like (or you can take the US airline method, and cargo precisely as many meals as passengers).
Lufthansa enterprise class wants some assist!
After all essentially the most thrilling factor to occur to Lufthansa enterprise class this yr is the introduction of its new Allegris enterprise class product, which must be launched about six years after it was first introduced.
Truthfully, as issues at the moment stand, Lufthansa in all probability affords the worst enterprise class product throughout the Atlantic from any main European airline. That’s regardless of the crews typically being completely nice {and professional}:
- Except a restricted variety of planes inherited from different airways, Lufthansa doesn’t have direct aisle entry in enterprise class from a overwhelming majority of its lengthy haul fleet, and it’ll take a few years earlier than a majority of lengthy haul plane function that
- Lufthansa’s enterprise class smooth product is simply so uninspired and boring; I imply, British Airways is not less than making an attempt, with model new seats, nice bedding, and surprisingly nice catering
I’m hoping that when Lufthansa introduces its new Allegris enterprise class, we’ll additionally see a serious revamp of the smooth product. Nevertheless, I’m not holding my breath…
Backside line
