I was 18, flying in F from MCO to MCI, via DFW on AA. I've always looked older than I am (which at the time was a good thing). I was trying to be good, passing on the PDB, but the FA would not have it. Insisted I have a drink and kept right on serving me. I'm sure she didn't know I was underage, but I got a good chuckle out of the whole experience.

My 5 yr old DM daughter is going to get her mom and sister in the SkyClub tomorrow. I am going to tell her to ask for $20 a person.
Don't think I will be able to trade her three one dollar bills for two twenty dollar bills anymore though.

I have never tried to use them on a snack. Just print out your boarding pass and there will be a HOOU coupon that is good for a snack. I use that for the snack box and the skybonus vouchers for drinks (they are also nice to give out to employees going on a long flight who don't get upgraded or are occassional non-status flyers).
You aren't out anything by trying to use them and like expired coupons I think it's a YMMV situation. I have tried using expired coupons before and as long as the FA doesn't scan them, I have no issues, it's when she scans them and they come up expired I have a problem and I just give her an unexpired coupon.
I'm surprised Delta's system isn't set up only to mail them to people of age. Southwest will only send them to people of age and there is an option to not even receive them if you are 21+ and don't want the vouchers for whatever reason.
It is foolish that Delta won't allow them to be used on snack boxes seeing they are the same price as a drink and I believe the trail mix and pringles are slightly cheaper than a mini, unless their cost is more on the snacks.
I wish we could use them on sandwiches and cheese plates as well. American gives their EP's a free sandwich and drink if they aren't upgraded, so Delta should be able to do the same.

Being an Englishman I would give 10/10 to Delta.^ My father gave me a beer when I was 11 years old. To this day I have never abused alcohol.

Any updates on this? Delta Points states that these can be traded for a non-perishable snack. Does anybody have any first-hand experience with this?
