Christmas Dinner On Aer Lingus And Lufthansa, Plus A Special Duck
I had grand plans to fly Aer Lingus Business Class and Lufthansa First Class before Christmas this year, but after so much recent travel, I decided to lay low and stay home instead. I may not have a new Lufthansa Christmas duck for 2024, but it was a lovely Christmas Eve nevertheless.
Aer Lingus And Lufthansa Serve Special Christmas Dinners
This month, Aer Lingus has treated its business class guests a special “festive” menu that includes roast turkey with herb stuffing served alongside roast potato, honey-roasted carrot and chunky parsnip, buttered brussels sprouts, and cranberry-infused gravy. All passengers flying out of Ireland or Manchester, England in business class have had this as a menu option.
Aer Lingus
I thought it would be fun to give it a try and I also have not reviewed Aer Lingus in many years.
Meanwhile, Lufthansa treats its business and first class guests to roast goose with red cabbage and potato dumplings on longhaul flights out of Germany every December. It’s a meal that strikes me as so emblematic of Christmas that I make it a point to enjoy it each year.
My (German) wife and I rotate where we spend Christmas between the USA and Germany. This year was our Christmas to stay in Los Angeles, so I was eyeing a trip to Germany earlier this week merely for the sake of flying Aer Lingus and Lufthansa.
The award space actually opened from Munich to Los Angeles…while I’ve been on the 747-8, I have not been on a Lufthansa A380 since the pandemic and I thought a trip from Frankfurt – Munich – Los Angeles would be a lot of fun.
But ultimately I decided against the trip and while there is some regret, it has been a beautiful week at home.
Instead, I cooked goose (and rabbit) myself last night…it turned out surprisingly good…
We decorate our tree on Christmas Eve
So no Lufthansa goose or (rubber) duck or Aer Lingus turkey this year, but we enjoyed a delicious meal at home for Heiligabend.
