Oktoberfest: Emirates Introduces Bavarian Specialties

Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, is once again delighting customers by bringing regional festive culinary traditions onboard its flights. This time, Emirates customers flying to Germany from Dubai can enjoy traditional sweet and savory Oktoberfest treats on their flights.

Customers flying from Emirates’ hub in Dubai to its four German gateways of Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Munich, in all classes of travel will be able to enjoy a Bavarian main course and dessert until October 3rd.

They can round off their main course with a sweet and hot apfelstrudel with vanilla sauce in First Class and bienenstich, a traditional German cake with almonds and honey, in Business Class.
