One day before the start of the Munich Oktoberfest, Lufthansa's traditional “Trachten” costume crew is set to take off again. Lufthansa flight attendants will depart from Munich to Osaka today, followed by a traditional costume flight to Johannesburg on September 30. For many years, it has been a tradition for the crew to wear traditional Bavarian garments on numerous European and German routes from Munich during the Oktoberfest season. Additionally, Lufthansa ground staff at the gates in Munich Terminal 2 greet passengers in this traditional dress. Instead of the classic Lufthansa uniform, female staff wear “dirndls” and male staff don traditional suits.
The traditional clothing for the long-haul crew has once again been designed and tailored by the Munich-based traditional garment provider Angermaier. As in previous years, the collection is certified according to “STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX.” All components and materials have been sustainably produced and processed.
The official start of Oktoberfest, also known as “Wiesn,” will be celebrated in festively decorated lounges of Terminal 2 with the tapping of the first beer keg. In addition to typical Bavarian beers, traditional dishes will create a Bavarian atmosphere. In the Business and Senator Lounges, offerings range from Munich potato soup to roast pork and steamed dumplings with vanilla sauce. Fine Bavarian dishes will also be served in two First Class lounges, including Bavarian duck breast and sweet Oktoberfest delicacies. “After Wiesn” drinks such as fresh “Ingwer Shot” will help guests recover from a long day and prepare for their flights.
