Delta meal service is set by flight distance and departure time with a limited number of exceptions. The matrix is published. Are you speaking specifically of other service elements?

both meal and other elements. it had been awhile since i did a transcon in F on DL so i guess despite what was "published", i was expecting a bit more based on previous (and now probably out of date) experiences.

/WCOM was the old designator, apparently they aren't doing that anymore. (and that's about the sum of my entire knowledge of Delta fare codes.)

Somebody dissected my fare code in the delta forum when I asked about it. It really is TAVSA0CK

No wonder they wanted to block information from EF, Like I thought to make it more confusing for everyone.
Doing a dummy booking for E fare DTW-FLL I get fare basis VEWNA0BP
Maybe you will get lucky and it will post as a C (Full fare Business). TAVSA0CK

from my experience his year, DL only does redeye "meal" service on the LAX/SFO-JFK trips in D1; before pushback the FA asked the F pax if they wanted the single item (iirc a cheeseburger; I declined) ... regular F service on the other TCON and almost-TCON redeyes (I've recently flown SEA-JFK and PDX-DTW) consists of the snack basket, since they're all post-9pm departures

Anything new on credit for Comfort+ booked at time of purchase. I have a short flight coming up, under the 500-mile min, so underlying fare class is less important than if I'll earn miles (or more importantly segments) if booked C+ vs MC. The price difference is only $20, but F is $140 more and not worth if for the short length.

At this point, to be safe, if you want to credit to AS, I would not book the Delta Comfort+ (W) fares.

Hadn't seen this thread and was the only W fare I have flown. About to e-mail in to AS I suppose.
