Flyers can dine like an astronaut on Lufthansa flights this summer

Lufthansa travellers flying on a long-haul flight out of Germany this summer will be offered the chance to sample a meal that's quite simply out of this world. To mark the space mission of German astronaut Alexander Gerst, who is currently living aboard the International Space Station for a 6-month stint, Lufthansa will offer its Business Class passengers the opportunity to dine like an astronaut. Developed by Lufthansa's catering and hospitality group LSG, the dinner will replicate Gerst's "bonus meal" created especially to be eaten on special occasions as a morale booster for the astronauts who are far, far, far away from home. Gerst's special meal request includes dishes from his home region Swabia in southwestern Germany like cheese spaetzli with bacon -- which comes canned -- and chicken ragout with mushrooms. <br/>
