Starting Sept. 12, customers in most domestic First Class flights over 900 miles can select from exclusive, regional or limited-selection meal options – only available through pre-select – in addition to the standard menu available on board.
Exciting seasonal menus
Delta is also rolling out refreshed menus in the Delta One and First Class cabins on domestic and international flights. Customers will experience more regional, more comforting, and more chef-designed dishes – options that are sure to excite even our most frequent fliers. As always, customer feedback informs everything we do; these new menus were designed by our in-house chefs and nutritionists and in collaboration with expert partners from across the world. Using historical data on meal preferences collected from thousands of flights, we’re able to track general trends and customer feedback to deliver an excellent dining experience that’s fresh, consistent and tailored to what customers are asking for.
