also there appeared to be someone on the crew that wasn't a FA. I think they said a customer experience person, but he was helping with service. and he was terrible. he was also wearing a pink dri-fit polo and not a standard uniform. it was NOT a good look for a premium cabin
I'm normally pretty picky about my in flight experience so I obviously had some gripes. my husband is far less picky about service on a plane and even he said it was garbage.
is this the new normal, or is this another case of "every flight gets a different level of service so just roll the dice and hope for the best"
also, kind of an elitist sounding complaint, but why doesnt DL hold the main cabin people from exiting the plane until all of D1 is out? VS does this for UC and it makes complete sense as just one more tiny. perk for dropping a few grand. would be really nice to see DL provide the service they are marketing
Route? Domestic D1 is likely to have the meal served all at once, with fewer wine choices.
OP mentions a ten hour flight, but doesn't say anything about a second meal service (aka pre-arrival snack or breakfast).
If it was a ten hour flight, could it have been marketed as FC rather than D1, but flown on an aircraft having a D1 cabin with flat beds?
Ten hours is making me guess ATL-HNL, which is marketed as domestic D1.
