Forget the caviar, there’s a new must-have dish for first-class passengers on Swiss International Air Lines.

This summer, the carrier has added a gourmet hot dog to its premium in-flight dining menu. But before you picture a burnt frankfurter drowning in ketchup and mustard, think again – this hot dog created by Swiss chefs shows that comfort food can be just as luxurious as fine dining.

Available in SWISS First on all flights departing from Switzerland until 1 September 2026, the "Bastardo" hot dog comes from Winterthur-based gourmet takeaway Frau Hund, which was founded by chefs Chris Maurer and Alex Prack.
