SEASONAL OCCASIONS
Lunar New Year
Wishing you good fortune on your travels
Start the celebration with us. Welcome wealth and prosperity with dumplings. Celebrate reunions and togetherness with sweet rice balls. Enjoy an auspicious spread at our airport lounges in Dubai and in selected destinations worldwide.
Make your wishes come true
The ingredients, name and presentation of food during Lunar New Year are carefully chosen to ensure good fortune. And for our customers in First Class, that means they’re in for extra special treats. Enjoy our take on lucky food on board, from a delicate white peach mochi symbolising fullness and wealth, to a lychee and raspberry mousse shaped like a traditional Chinese firecracker to drive bad luck away.
Here’s to a sweet year ahead
Don’t be surprised to see round fruit, especially oranges and mandarins, everywhere you go this season as their shape is believed to increase prosperity. Our Business Class customers can bite into luck with our coconut and mandarin mousse dessert served with mandarin compote. While our customers in Economy Class enjoy a double serving of good fortune with our mandarin cake with orange compote.Red is the colour of luck
The tradition of giving red envelopes filled with lucky money is widespread across Asia and is not limited to the Lunar New Year. Grandparents and parents now surprise their loved ones with these little packets for everything from birthdays to weddings. We continue the tradition with bespoke red envelopes filled with chocolate gold coins for our customers in First Class and Business Class.
