First Class – delights above the clouds

Welcome to First Class, where you can look forward to food and drinks of an award-winning standard, complemented by service that is focused completely on your personal wishes. You can discover all our culinary services conveniently in one place – transparently, personally and inspirationally.

Welcome to your culinary journey

Cuisine of an award-winning standard

You’re above the clouds – where the world revolves around you alone. Delicious meals, created by prestigious chefs, are combined with an exquisite selection of wines and spirits – in First Class each mealtime becomes a special experience. Champagne on arrival, an extra-large table: here you can experience high-quality culinary delights of an award-winning standard – at an altitude of 10,000 metres.

Modern fine dining with a tasting menu

Michelin-starred chef Christoph Kunz is behind this approach. He has developed a modern fine-dining concept for you and, on flights departing from Germany, is inviting you on a culinary journey: First Class menus made up of a sequence of small courses that combine precise culinary artistry with surprisingly light flavors.

Look forward to culinary stories in which each course writes its own chapter. Don't just enjoy one dish. Trilogies of amuse-bouches, appetizers, and desserts enable you to explore diverse worlds of taste. You also have a choice when it comes to the main course: choose your favorite dish or combine several dishes in an elegant tasting-sized portion. Individual moments of delight unlike anything you've experienced above the clouds before.

Service in a class of its own

Many things change over time – but caviar and champagne remain timeless constants of Lufthansa First Class.

Enjoy our signature caviar service on day and evening flights as a separate course. It is always celebrated in a special way with the classic presentation: served with the traditional accompaniments of blini, lemon, chopped egg, shallots and crème fraîche. We have made this service even more special for you, with additional side dishes and lovingly arranged details to round off your taste experience. If you wish, caviar can also accompany your gourmet breakfast.

Why not try it as a delicious topping on your egg dish – for an especially indulgent start to your day above the clouds.

Every last detail

Your table has been laid: the First Class experience can be seen not just in our culinary creations. Minimalist design with elegant features create a perfectly coordinated ambiance. This love of detail makes the difference: for example the additional small dishes of olive oil, salt and pepper mills – and the most exquisite fine bone china tableware by prestigious manufacturer Dibbern.

We aspire to create special moments

In First Class, champagne is more than just a drink – it's part of the ritual of first-class travel. It greets you in style after you’ve boarded, accompanies our signature caviar service, and, on request, harmonizes with selected breakfast creations.

‘La Grande Dame’, the prestige cuvée from Veuve Clicquot, represents what distinguishes Lufthansa First Class: timeless elegance, precise craftsmanship and a feel for special moments. A finely tuned structure, the balance of freshness and depth, and a subtly luxurious character make ‘La Grande Dame’ the ideal companion for your journey – and our new house champagne in Lufthansa First Class.

Of course, we don’t neglect variety here either. We are delighted to always be able to offer you another renowned champagne. We change this every month – ensuring first-class variety.

What would you prefer? To enable you to experience many different wines, we adjust our wine selection monthly. Four exceptional red and white wines each from top growing regions, selected champagnes and a dessert wine are waiting for you to taste them – with a personal recommendation from the crew for each course, if you wish.

Would you like to try more? Our wine list is complemented by an expanded selection of premium spirits and signature drinks which stylishly round off your First Class journey and create a new “culinary experience” – without you having to commit to a fixed choice.
