Every autumn, Bavaria becomes the epicenter of celebration as nearly six million visitors descend on Germany for the legendary Oktoberfest.
This iconic 18-day event—recognized as the world's largest folk festival—unfolds annually from mid-September to early October, with Munich as its vibrant heart. Revelers don classic Bavarian attire, enjoy lively parades, and immerse themselves in traditional music, all while savoring Germany's renowned beers.
In tribute to this storied occasion, Emirates has curated an exclusive Oktoberfest menu across its German routes for the duration of the 2025 festivities.
The Dubai-based carrier, connecting travelers to four major German cities (Frankfurt, Munich, Dusseldorf, and Hamburg), now features a refined selection of Bavarian pastries, soft pretzels, and gourmet sandwiches in its A380 onboard lounge for First and Business Class guests. Travelers passing through the Emirates premium lounge in Munich can also enjoy a rotating menu of authentic German specialties.
Discerning premium cabin travelers are invited to sample Paulaner’s celebrated Oktoberfest wheat beer—crafted by one of the event’s exclusive six breweries and renowned for its rich heritage and quality.
Economy Class guests aren’t left out; they are treated to a hearty German meal of roast chicken, Spätzle noodles, and a savory mushroom sauce, bringing a genuine taste of Oktoberfest onboard.
