From what I've heard, the stuff is pretty good and pax like it very much. Unfortunately, this service will end on 07OCT, so I won't be able to sample it on 09OCT.

I really hope, this is MUC only and they don't serve that stuff on my FRA-MIA flight next Friday. I've booked the F cabin and expect real F meal service and no pavillon junk food. I try to avoid entire Bavaria between September and October each year and don't think this affectation should spill over into the rest of Germany.
Com'on....the Oktoberfest is ^^.
I think it's quite an important event for Germany and its tourisme! You can see the spill-over effects not only in the rest of Germany, but also in Switzerland and even South East Asia!
So why not in the LH F cabin in condition they also provide the standard meals.. O' zapft is!
After all you are on a holiday trip isn't it ?

Yes, I am on a holiday trip, so wife and daughter are with me. For them it is only once or twice a year in F and they should receive the standard F service. Period. My wife still has nightmares, when she thinks back to one of her past F experiences with the Austrian cuisine in F last year in October.

Since you guys always travel in paid full-fare F (period!) this shouldn't be a problem.

Just to make it clear: I didn't say I hate Bavarians or the Bavarian crowd, said instead I don't like it which I consider a difference.
Some of my friends are Bavarians, I do some business in Bavaria and I like a nice "Bavarian Biergarten" any day. Just in combination with masses and jodeling crowds I step away if I can. Same for Cologne carnival BTW.
As for the meals, I know we are fine. And the crew will be a nice and friendly FRA crew I guess. ^

Later in the evening, the U-Bahn becomes a mess with all the dead drunk people coming from that drinking bout. Especially on the escalators it's better not to stand just behind such a guy...
And as I don't like beer and don't like to be drunken, the Octoberfest is completly the wrong place for me (although I could have a free place there inside a tent with the office). Dirndl's are quiet nice, their content too, but the latter only on the way to the Octoberfest...

Flew out of MUC earlier this week and lounge/ground staff were dressed in the Oktoberfest outfits. Gave a nice flavor, and the lounge food was themed including special blue/white checked napkins. On board, they gave out special handkerchiefs in a box wrapped in a bow to all C class pax. The second service meal from Oktoberfest was terrible though, and the three people around me didnt even touch it.

they did it this year too
Sorry for chiming in late on this, but I had the pleasure of a business trip to Munich last week and the flight home MUC-YUL was Oktoberfest themed. I didn't know till we boarded the plane. I was in the totally last row of economy. The stewardesses were dressed in dirndls with LH logos on necklaces. The meal was Bavarian: supposedly a choice of pork or fish, but profuse apologies that they ran out of food and I ended up with the vegetarian meal from business class: mushroom stew with dumplings, pretzel, salad, streusel cake, gingerbread heart, wine, cognac afterwards. Hey no complaints from me! For a snack we got a pretzel-shaped sausage on a flatbread, stuffed with mustard. Very interesting (and I figured out how to squeeze out the mustard, which I gag on) but so hot it blistered the roof of my mouth. Also more gingerbread hearts on ribbons handed out afterwards.
This was my first trip using LH and I was very very impressed in both directions. Good service, excellent food, stunning choice of reading material (less English material leaving Germany though), the inflight movie screens at the seats, even postcards! And unlike my colleagues who flew AC, no lost luggage. Now if only I could get some of that sea salt from the Skychefs video...
Only thing I didn't get: why have the themed flight *leaving* Munich, instead of *arriving* in Munich?

During September and October Economy and Business meals on LH flights ex-Japan feature courses with (Bavarian) sausages in one form or another. I doubt if they serve any Weisswurst though...
Here's a YouTube video of Lufthansa crew and Oktoberfest.
