SEASONAL OCCASIONS

Christmas

A sprinkle of festive magic

We deck the halls and go all out for Christmas every year, so expect delicious treats and surprises in selected lounges worldwide and on selected flights this December and January. Enjoy a traditional Christmas dinner, sweet indulgences and festive entertainment to help you jingle all the way to your destination.

Have a jolly time in our lounges

Between 15 and 31 December, you can share the festive cheer in our lounges worldwide. Enjoy the seasonal selection of local savoury and sweet treats along with turkey and all the trimmings. Then indulge in festive cookies, chocolate cakes and gingerbread desserts. Look out for special drinks including Christmas coffees, tea-based mocktails, sparkling mixes and more.

A stocking gift from us to you

On 24, 25 and 26 December, we’re giving away a little Christmas gift for everyone on board selected flights. Look out for our special gift boxes in all classes to find your macaron, chocolate truffle or gingerbread treat.

Enjoy a festive feast in all classes

From 17 to 26 December, fill up on slices of barbecue turkey served with chestnut and turkey bacon roulade, braised red cabbage and cranberry jus lié in Economy Class. In Premium Economy, choose the salmon gravadlax with cranberry and ginger purée before your turkey, duck or lamb dinner.

In First and Business Class, start your Christmas dinner with a seafood appetiser including lobster tails. Enjoy the paprika-spiced turkey served with jus, chestnut and turkey bacon stuffing and truffle potato gratin or choose the duck confit, herb-crusted lamb or venison. Finish with a delicious festive dessert and you’ll be just about ready to snooze off to a Christmas movie.

Be merry on board

Customers in First and Business Class can arrive on board to a Spiced Berry welcome drink. During your flight, stroll to our A380 Onboard Lounge to enjoy rich stollen and panettone cakes, mince pies and festive sweet treats.


Customers in First Class can also enjoy a miniature Santa Claus crafted from strawberries and white chocolate cream. 


Hot cocoa for everyone

Warm your belly with a steaming cup of cocoa sprinkled with indulgent toppings across all cabins.

A sparking festive celebration

Raise a glass of fine Dom Perignon Plenitude 2004 P2 in First Class to mark the occasion - a rare vintage exclusive to our flights. And in Business Class you can sip Veuve Clicquot or Moët & Chandon depending on the route. In Premium Economy, you can enjoy Chandon Vintage Brut, and in Economy Class, you can celebrate with a 200ml bottle of Moët & Chandon with mixed nuts for a little extra.

Cosy onboard comforts

It’s the season to feel snuggly, especially on those wintery days in the north. Have a look at more ways you can feel cosy on our flights. We’ve got new amenity kits to help you feel fresh, blankets and pillows, and more giveaways like socks and eyeshades. And our soft pyjamas in First Class and Business Class are made from a special material with a little magic of its own.
