Delta 98
Detroit DTW–Paris CDG
A330
December 20, 2018

Pre-departure beverage limited to water, what was identified as Mionetto prosecco, and orange juice.

Average service. Not bad, but not well-polished. Crew were all older ladies.

On a side note, this is one of those flights on the A330 in which 2A is blocked. Delta's Diamond Desk and Sky Club agents said it was blocked because the seat was broken and Delta's Twitter agents said it was assigned to another customer but, in my past experience, it's blocked sometimes for the captain or a last-minute booking. I arrived at the gatehouse early and the red jacket switched me with no questions asked. In my opinion, this is the best seat on Delta One on the A330.

I had the cod. It was okay, but kind of dry. The bok choy was mushy and the goji berry pineapple salsa didn't do anything for the cod at all.

My biggest complaint was taking 2 hours to complete the dinner and dessert service and then turning the lights on and beginning breakfast a full 90 minutes before landing on what ended up being a flight of about 6 1/2 hours.
