Delta Details Complimentary Main Cabin Meals on Transcon Flights

Earlier this month, we reported that Delta would begin serving free meals to passengers seated in economy on transcon flights between New York (JFK) and Los Angeles (LAX) and San Francisco (SFO) beginning March 1. Today, the airline confirmed these plans and then some — Delta will be serving complimentary meals on an additional 10 transcon flights beginning a bit later in the spring on April 24, including:

• Boston (BOS) to Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Seattle (SEA)
• Washington, DC (DCA) to Los Angeles (LAX)
• New York (JFK) to Portland (PDX), San Diego (SAN), Seattle (SEA)
• Seattle (SEA) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Orlando (MCO), Raleigh Durham (RDU)

Menus will be dependent on the time of flight and will feature a variety of options. If you're on a morning flight, you'll be able to choose from a Honey Maple Breakfast Sandwich, Luvo Breakfast Medley or fruit and cheese plate. On daytime flights, you'll have the option of a Mesquite-Smoked Turkey Combo, Luvo Mediterranean Whole Grain Veggie Wrap or fruit and cheese plate. Finally, customers on overnight flights will be offered a breakfast bar prior to landing during the pre-arrival beverage service.

If you're seated in a Delta Comfort+ seat on any of these 12 flights, you'll also receive a pre-arrival snack basket, complimentary beer, wine and spirits. On Comfort+ flights between JFK and LAX/SFO, you'll also receive a Greek frozen yogurt bar as a mid-flight snack on top of all the other Comfort+ perks.

While the Delta SkyMiles program is far from the best airline loyalty program, the airline consistently provides high-level customer service with a solid onboard experience on both domestic and international fights. These new complimentary meals for economy passengers are an added bonus that will likely keep customers very happy.
