Unfortunately, this is not always the case. TUS-ATL is over 1500 miles; both daily flights run during designated meal times (breakfast and lunch). There is never a hot meal option for breakfast and often not a hot option for lunch. It is just another example of the consistent service DL provides
Heck, the last two dinner flights I took ATL-TUS didn't even have a hot option.
