Choose from evocative flavours from around the globe or tastes of home when you dine with us, all while staying invigorated with our wellness-focused options.

With our Choose My Meal service, passengers flying in Business on long-haul routes can pre-select their prefered inflight meal ahead of their flight. This new service is being progressively launched on all long-haul routes.

In First Class, you can order from an à la carte menu at your convenience throughout the flight.
