Emirates expands meal pre-ordering across all German gateways
Emirates brings pre-ordering or inflight meals to all Business Class passengers departing from German airports
Business Class passengers on Emirates can now select their hot main meal between 14 days and 24 hours before departure across the airline’s four German gateways. Emirates announced in a July 26 press release that this further enables the airline to ensures passengers always receive their favourite meals inflight.
Last year, Emirates introduced the service for Business Class passengers on its busiest routes and has since expanded the offer to more points in its global network. Emirates‘ Business Class passengers can now pre-order inflight meals on flights departing from Hamburg (HAM), Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC) and Dusseldorf (DUS). The service is now available on more than 100 routes worldwide. To date, more than 135,000 pre-orders have already been delivered on more than 30,000 flights. Every day, more than 400 meals are pre-ordered by Emirates passengers.
From 14 days up to 24 hours before departure, travellers can view the menu for their flight online or via the Emirates app. Special Meals can also be pre-ordered.
Emirates‘ culinary offerings for the Business Class passengers flying between Germany and Dubai include grilled veal chop with green pepper sauce, grilled courgettes, caramelized fennel and Anna potatoes with herbs, roast chicken with thyme and garlic, served with chicken jus with truffle oil, celeriac puree, red herb potatoes, pearl onions and blanched broccolini or fish tahta with pan-fried grouper in Emirati spices, served with buttered rice and fried onions as a main course.
Passengers can also choose from more than 300 vegan dishes in the changing menu, such as roasted cauliflower with ancient grains, lovage pesto with caramelised pear or ragout of Asian tofu and shitake mushrooms with glass noodles.
The pre-orders are added to existing AI-supported data for tracking customer preferences and information from the cabin crew, which enables the menu planning and optimal loading of the aircraft with food. Onboard, cabin crew use a specially developed app to view the meal selection and serve the passenger the desired dish. The updated offering is a further service initiative for digital passenger convenience, Emirates said.
