Menu


Started with warm nuts (top left of tray table) and hot towels (not pictured), but the actual starter course was a latin shaved beef which was served chilled. There was also a salad with it. The beef itself was pretty good and the whole setup it came with was pretty nice too, all went pretty well together. The salad wasn't bad too and about as much as you can ask for from a salad on a starter course.


For the main course, I pre selected the herb grilled beef filet. Came with some spinach, squash, and a twice baked potato. The filet was actually great and cooked to a nice medium so there was still some pink which I liked. Was nice and flavorful and also not rubbery and tough, was pretty tender. The potato was ok, but the squash and spinach were great. Pretty solid main course and I'd get it again, but the other three options also sounded pretty good to me and would be open to trying those too. On the pre select menu there was also an additional two options being the grain bowl and the golden chicken.


And to round out dinner service with dessert, I had to get the ice cream sundae. This was great and pretty hard to screw up anyway. I kept it simple and only added berries and whipped cream, I'm not a fan of chocolate. Was great though.


Now this snack setup in the galley I loved, I didn't even notice this was here until I asked an FA for a drink in the dead of the night and she pointed out there was also food up here if I wanted any. I came up to check it out and was very pleasantly surprised. Not only is there like snack basket type food and waters for grab and go, there was also more substantial, plated options like fresh fruit, hummus, veggies, and a couple types of sandwiches. I took a pimento cheese sandwich from here which was actually pretty good as well. I've been Delta loyal since I was shot out of the womb 20 years ago but the recent SkyPesos changes in addition to being based in London half the time now pushed me over to oneworld, and took several Delta One long hauls last year. I didn't see any setup like this in Delta One.


Last but not least was the pre arrival breakfast for which I chose the swiss and tomato omelet. This was also pretty tasty and quite filling. Great way to round out the flight. Also not pictured but found interesting, I got a Coke to drink here and it was an Argentinian Coke. This flight obviously didn't touch Argentina and the inbound also came from LHR, that was a first for me.

Pretty good flight in Flagship Business. This was my first time flying Flagship Business on a long haul and my expectations were exceeded. Great seat on the 77W, great crew, and great eats. The little things like that little walk up grab and go thing go a long way for me and made a difference. Ground experience on my 4 hour layover at the DFW FL was also fantastic as always. Can't wait to fly Flagship Business again in the future
