NEW $8.99 snack box - AVOID
....................................
|
I have tried them and found the Tapas treat to descent enough. Would I pay $8.99 for it - no. But I recently needed to dump a bunch of expiring coupons so I used it for some. May sound silly but I brought a couple home to use as snacks while out hiking. Better than letting the coupons expire.

My opinion is a lousy value!
The only redeeming quality is that it merely wasted HOOU coupon instead of $8.99. Wow, just wow.... Pita chips and so called humus simply inedible. Lemon cookies were lame. Few Olives were okay but nothing of remote value approaching the asking price. Try it if you're brave enough and please report back! I eat in the lounge (international) and onboard (when in F, US domestic or transborder) |

the snack boxes are pretty salt and carb rich. My mouth has hurt after eating any of them. They are only good for burning coupons; IMO :)

I can't agree more with Ti22. I really enjoyed the "Flight Delights" box, but the new "Tapas" box is just gross. I ended up throwing about half of it away.
Not even worth an HOOU. |
Has DL removed the two flight delights options? I quite the liked the salsa/chips version.
|
With the exception of the included Greek Olives I actually thought this was the best box they have ever offered....
Tried one just a few days ago for the first time using a HOOU. |
Since May, I've been doing two to three trips a month to Boston, leaving early Monday a.m. and returning Thursday night. Because I think it's bad form to walk into the office at 10:30 on Monday already having been drinking, I use my HOOUs for a snack box that I stash in my hotel for the week. I don't like the new Tapas box as much as I did the old "Flight Delights" box, but it's nice to have snacks for the week.

I would get the travel treats box when I had expiring coupons or anything remaining of the $200 axp reimbursement. I know they change from time to time but are they gone now?

I prefer the travel treats at $6.49 but Eat Tapas at $8.99 sounds nice. I wouldn't buy it just for the name tho... Jiburi |

tapas $8.99 - that's what it was called. I do understand these things are basically "bunker food" but even with that, what a step backwards and for much higher price... |
The cran blueberry nut mix is seriously addictive. It helps soothe the pain of the loss of the peanut M&Ms.
|
Trail mix is good use of a HOOU coupon! Use it or lose it! I had some expiring coupons too so I brought home 4 bags!
