Oktoberfest 2024: Lufthansa traditional Bavarian garment crew takes off from Munich
Lufthansa
flight attendants will take off from Munich to Osaka today, followed by the
traditional costume flight to Johannesburg on September 30. For many years, it
has been a tradition for the crew to wear traditional Bavarian garment on
numerous European and German routes from Munich during the Oktoberfest season.
In addition, Lufthansa ground staff at the gates in Munich Terminal 2 also
greet their passengers in this traditional dress. Instead of the classic
Lufthansa uniform, the ladies wear “dirndls” and the men traditional
suits.
The
traditional clothing for the long-haul crew has again this year designed and
tailored by the Munich-based traditional garment provider Angermaier. As in the
previous year, the collection is certified according to “STANDARD 100 by
OEKO-TEX”. All components and materials have been sustainably produced and
processed.
Tapping
of the first beer keg and “After Wiesn Drinks” in the lounges
The
official start of the Oktoberfest, which is also known as “Wiesn”, will also be
celebrated in the festively decorated lounges of Terminal 2: “O'zapft is” - the
beer barrel is tapped. In addition to typical Bavarian beers, traditional
dishes will create a Bavarian atmosphere. In the Business and Senator Lounges,
the selection ranges from Munich potato soup to roast pork and steamed
dumplings with vanilla sauce.
Fine
Bavarian dishes will also be served in the twoFirst Class lounges. These
include Bavarian duck breast and sweet Oktoberfest delicacies. “After Wiesn”
drinks, such as the fresh “Ingwer Shot”, will help you recover from a long day
and get you ready for your flight.
Oktoberfest
delicacies above the clouds
Just
in time for the Wiesn season, Lufthansa is offering popular Oktoberfest
specialties on board its aircraft. Until the end of September, crews will be
serving Bavarian delicacies on selected long-haul flights from Frankfurt and
Munich in all classes to get you in the mood for Oktoberfest. The selection
ranges from roast chicken to mushroom ragout with pretzel dumplings and roasted
almonds, as well as Oktoberfest chocolates. In Premium Economy and Economy
Class, Nuremberg bratwurst is served with Bavarian cabbage and mashed potatoes.
Bavarian cream with raspberries is also served in all classes.
The
right drinks are also part of the Oktoberfest experience on board. In addition
to popular Bavarian beer varieties, another specialty will be served on
European routes: the Lufthansa cocktail is now available in a limited edition
as the “Avionic Wiesn Edition” – an aperitif with notes of juicy peach and
fresh citrus fruits, as well as a subtle hint of wild meadow herbs and
harmonious marigold.
A
small souvenir of Lufthansa's “Oktoberfest in the clouds” can also be taken
home. Toothbrushes and other items needed during the flight are handed out in
Premium Economy, Business and First Class on long-haul flights in small
heart-shaped Oktoberfest bags, perfect for a visit to the Oktoberfest.
