Expanded menu combining Western European and Turkish-Mediterranean flavours • Developed based on guest feedback • Three-course meals including drinks from €9.99

SunExpress, the leisure carrier jointly owned by Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines, is bringing even more flavour to the skies with its new onboard menu. The refreshed offering blends Western European tastes with Turkish-Mediterranean classics, reflecting the airline’s mission of connecting people and cultures – also through food.

“With our new menu, we are taking the onboard experience to a new level. It combines top quality, greater variety, and the wishes of our guests into a balanced concept,” said Liane Wagner, Manager Cabin Experience & Inflight Retail at SunExpress. “It was especially important to us to incorporate valuable passenger feedback – resulting in a menu selection that unites cultural diversity and culinary enjoyment.”

Diverse Menu Options

The expanded range includes everything from a light Afternoon Tea set to hearty hot dishes. Highlights include:

· Chicken Café de Paris – tender chicken fillet in a herb butter sauce with grilled zucchini and peppers

· Adana Kebab – spicy grilled minced meat with bulgur and aubergine purée, a tribute to Turkey’s rich food culture

· Mezze Plate – a vegetarian classic with rice, aubergine, and lentil balls

· Macaroni and Cheese – creamy cheddar pasta with Mediterranean flavours

· Vegan Falafel – with jasmine rice, grilled vegetables, and fresh lemony salads

· Children’s Menu – chicken with fries and fruit yoghurt for dessert

At breakfast, guests can choose between cold options with bread rolls, cold cuts, vegetables, and fruit, or warm dishes such as omelette, börek, or pancakes with berries.

All menus include a starter, main course, dessert, and a non-alcoholic drink – now included in the price. Meals start at €9.99, with hot dishes available from €12.99.

Celebration Cake at 30,000 Feet

A special highlight is the newly introduced Celebration Cake. Whether for a birthday, anniversary, or other occasion, this handcrafted cake is served in a stylish presentation box with a carry handle – perfect for continuing the celebration after landing.

Easy Pre-Booking

Meals can be conveniently pre-ordered during flight booking or up to 36 hours before departure via “Manage My Booking” on the SunExpress website. Travel agencies can also arrange advance booking. The existing buy-on-board menu remains available.
