Felix Bartels, Chief Marketing Officer of the Serviceplan Group, introduces the building’s innovative interior concept during a guided tour. The true highlight, however, is the exclusive insight into the private art collection of Dr. Peter Haller, founder of Serviceplan.

The HON Circle: the Most Exclusive Tier of the Lufthansa Group

Anyone who has ever reached HON status with Lufthansa knows it is more than just another frequent flyer level – it’s a class of its own. Within the Lufthansa Group, there are three frequent flyer tiers: Frequent Traveller, Senator, and HON, the highest level. HON Circle Members enjoy access to exceptional privileges, such as the First Class Lounge.

"Every time I’m in the First Class Lounge, it feels a bit like coming home. The atmosphere is relaxed, stylish, and at the same time so welcoming that you instantly feel at ease."

Another exclusive benefit are the so-called “Status Events”, featuring VIP experiences and carefully curated programmes – from invitations to the Vienna Opera Ball and Paris Fashion Week to behind-the-scenes tours at Airbus.

During the house and art tour in Munich’s Werksviertel district, the focus is on contemporary art. Dr. Haller personally presents works by renowned artists such as Anselm Kiefer, Rupprecht Geiger, and Sean Scully.

Four Courses – and a Little Networking for Dessert

Culinary artistry followed in the spacious foyer, where a four-course flying dinner was served. Alongside champagne and exclusive wines, HON Circle Members could also enjoy the Lufthansa Signature Drink Avionic. Known from the Business and First Class cabins, this aperitif blends peach and citrus notes with wild meadow herbs and is best enjoyed with tonic or sparkling wine.

As the most exclusive circle within the Lufthansa Group, HON Circle Members come together to enjoy privileges that open doors others never see. Shared moments and experiences that simply can’t be booked create genuine connections – just like on this evening in Munich, where guests came together to connect, exchange ideas and, of course, do a little networking.
