Oktoberfest: Emirates Introduces Bavarian Specialties

Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, is once again delighting customers by bringing regional festive culinary traditions onboard its flights. This time, Emirates customers flying to Germany from Dubai can enjoy traditional sweet and savory Oktoberfest treats on their flights.

Customers flying from Emirates’ hub in Dubai to its four German gateways of Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Munich, in all classes of travel will be able to enjoy a Bavarian main course and dessert until October 3rd.

Travellers in First Class and Business Class can treat themselves to leberkäs as a main course, a typical German-style beef and chicken meatloaf served with sauerkraut, potato and red radish salad, and sweet mustard. They can round off their main course with a sweet and hot apfelstrudel with vanilla sauce in First Class and bienenstich, a traditional German cake with almonds and honey, in Business Class.

Emirates customers flying from Dubai to Germany in Economy Class, can also choose leberkäs as a main course, served with mashed potatoes as well as sauerkraut with fried onions. They can then also finish off their German meal with a piece of bienenstich cake.

Emirates’ iconic A380 Onboard Lounge, available to customers travelling in First Class and Business Class, will feature a whole range of Bavarian-inspired bar snacks and appetisers, such as sandwiches with emmental cheese with gherkins, mini bretzels with traditional dips like obatzda, Bavarian pastries as well as small gingerbread hearts to enjoy or share with a loved one back home.
