Business Class
Lufthansa Business Class runs three layers of service depending on the route.
Long-haul flights use FOX, a 2026 overhaul that brings new menus by chef Johann Lafer and a flexible second meal.
Separately, long-haul main-course pre-selection expanded in September 2026 from three to six choices. Short-haul European Business Class runs its own, simpler service.
