One reason to specifically choose to fly Lufthansa in First Class is their delicious in-flight food menu. On a personal note, I am also a champion of their more open-plan cabins, which we prefer over the enclosed suite or first-class coffin compartments. The menu below was enjoyed during our flight on Lufthansa’s A380 First Class Frankfurt to Bangkok.
Lufthansa’s First Class product is known for its excellent menus that have been prepared using seasonal and regional produce. The carrier’s onboard catering is provided by LSG Sk Chefs, a subsidiary of Lufthansa and the biggest airline caterer in the world.
On this particular flight, dinner was served right after takeoff and breakfast about 90 minutes prior to landing (although you could have your meals at any time you wanted).
