In spring, the Lufthansa Group will switch to paid catering in economy class on short and medium-haul routes. From a flight duration of one hour, food and drinks are available for a fee. But what does the catering concept look like on particularly short flights?

Under a planned flight time of 60 minutes, Lufthansa will not deliver any goods from the Sell ​​food and drinks menu. Economy passengers from 35 minutes onwards receive a bottle of water and a small chocolate. If the flight duration is even shorter, it is better not to get thirsty, because the eco on-board service will only consist of a piece of chocolate.

Compared to the current “short flight service” from the group subsidiary Austrian Airlines, the little candy even appears generous. For example, drinks are no longer served on flights within Austria. The parent company Lufthansa distributes free water bottles even on ultra-short flights such as Stuttgart-Frankfurt. Under the guise of Corona, Austrian Airlines only offers the choice between water, tea and coffee. In the future, Austrian Airlines wants - in contrast to its sister companies Swiss and Lufthansa - ask for water yourself.
