Changed In-Flight Services webpage

DL has changed its In-Flight Services webpages - there's now a completely new layout, and for the Economy section (which I check regularly to make sure there's still mention of "complimentary Biscoffs and pretzels"), the text has changed to:

Treat your taste buds to tried-and-true fare. Light complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will keep you fueled up on your next flight.
This is on the Economy page. There is no longer any mention of Biscoffs. Not trying to raise a red flag or alarm, but I hope this revamped page is not a harbinger of the discontinuation of free Biscoffs/pretzels/nuts in Y. Previously, the website was very clear about saying that flights over 250 miles (I think?) would get complimentary Biscoff cookies/pretzels/nuts (for some reason, archive.org would not let me go back and retrieve the website, its acting very funky), but now those exact mentions are gone, so that's what raised a bit of suspicion.

BTW, is it just me, or does the page render very sloppily in Safari (7.0.3)? The red "Go" link on the bottom of the webpage keeps blinking, and it's just very scattered.

I think you are being overly paranoid. Here's an older page. Biscoffs are only mentioned on flights before 9:45AM.

Those pictures on the Delta website reminded me of this:

Interesting. I just checked the FC listings because a few days ago I noticed some flights, such as MSP-DTW or VV, in the 500-1000 mile range that seem to no longer offer the FC snack basket according to the result when you click on details then meals during the booking process.

I dunno. I flew PIT/DTW early AM on Apr 11, & got the whole "luxury" snack basket, with bananas, granola bars, etc.

Apr 15 DTW/PIT evening flight, the basket only had the Y standard Biscoffs, pretzels & peanutz. I asked - "No good stuff tonite"? FA said - "Not on the short flights".

Go figure.

Actually, it said "In addition to our complimentary snacks and beverages" for 600mi+ flights.

DL only served Biscoffs on flights up to 9:45am for 250-600mi flights, but 600mi+ flights got Biscoffs all day in Y.

There were occasionally some exceptions to this rule, but is this documented now? I still think transcons in the 9pm-10pm window should at least have a tray snack of some sort.

Transcons have always been an exception....a meal is always served in BE, though on late night flights its lighter.
