Lufthansa is set to charge passengers in long-haul economy and premium economy cabins for snacks and spirits from December 1.

Passengers in these cabins already receive a main meal and drinks free-of-charge, but will soon be given the option of purchasing additional snacks and spirits as part of the carrier’s Onboard Delights menu. The airline stated:

“Especially between meals, guests’ wishes are very individual – Lufthansa is meeting this demand now with a wider selection”

The service will initially be rolled out across 37 long-haul routes to North America, South America, Asia and South Africa at the start of next month, and will then be introduced to all intercontinental flights in spring 2022. It can only be ordered on board and booking in advance is not possible.
