Check the flight time and and see if a meal is served. Most likely yes.

It will be a similar offering as the LGA-ATL route. Check the delta meal thread.

The legroom on a DL MD-88 is the same regardless of the route. EWR-ATL is the same as LGA-ATL or even ATL-MSP, etc. DL doesn't reposition seats before every flight.

Fine dining, Steak and Lobster, Krug Champagne, fine linen table settings, impeccable service with a smile and unparalleled level of professionalism. Lie-flat beds with down comforters.




No, standard bland food and you're lucky if you get a pillow that hasn't been sneezed on. Seats that recline 6 inches with a little bit of legroom. Enjoy.

You forgot the personalized at-your-seat food cutting service, on demand comforter turn-down service, and of course, chocolate on your pillow!








Obviously, I'm kidding and I realize that the OP isn't familiar with Delta's service, and is seeking help, but I just couldn't resist!

You can check seatguru.com for information on leg room (the Delta MD-88 has a 37" pitch in First - distance between seats) and there are some pictures as well although they are mostly showing the economy section of the plane. The breakfast meal service will probably consist of a choice between an omelet and a cereal/fruit plate.

For a short hop like that keep your expectations very low and you will be happy. Not sure how much FC travel you have done lately but it is not all that amazing. It is really measured in how much it sucks a little less than coach.

Is there enough room to spoon with the ex-supermodel flight attendant?

If you like to drink adult beverages, you'll have enough time to have at least 4 plus the PDB on this 2+ hour flight. Load up on peanuts and snacks when they pass the basket around.

Time in the air is only 1:36 and with 20 minute climb out and a 1/2 hour decent it leaves under an hour...Yup I could get 4 or 5 in but I am a professional.

Have you booked already? If not, save your money and grab the bulkhead (seat A,D, or E) in C+. Tons of legroom and free booze. "Meal" service is pretty worthless these days on most domestic flights so I wouldn't even consider it any sort of enhancement.

If the OP is asking these questions, he/she will be sorely disappointed with what's delivered.
