So which one did you choose? I have a D1 flight JFK-LAX this week and also giving me the same menu. I know the short rib is great, but I am kind of curious in the chicken meatloaf.

I had preordered the short rib, but I ended up with meatballs, which were pretty good. FA said online menu was wrong, was offered choice between meatballs, Korean rice bowl and pasta. So those will probably be the options for your flight as well.

Any rhyme or reason to the delay? I’m PM. Do I get first dibs over them?

My wife did not get the email, but choosing her entrée (if on same PNR) for me was on app in my account at bottom of page (below my selection area). There was a drop down next to her name to open the selection for her.

I just tried the korean chicken rice bowl and my wife had the beef meatball (which she gave me 2 balls) on JFK-SJU route few days ago. They both taste great. As an Asian, I rated the korean chicken bowl 10/10.

Now my return trip is in 3 days. I chosed the breef short rib. Hopefully I can get what I wanted.

Is there still an issue with the A321 Neo and pre-order ?
If so wondering does DL always go front to back or?
want to be sure to get a decent meal on my upcoming flight to Hawaii

From other postes I saw, they said yes, A321 Neo is not in Delta's pre-order system. Maybe it still too new.
I flew LAX-SEA round trip before, and pre-order was not avaliable to me as well.

There’s been several posts with speculation as to why the A321neo pre-select does not work. The running theories are it’s either just an IT glitch that DL is (or is pretending to be) clueless about, or it is related to the lack of enough ovens for a certain number of hot meals on the plane.

Flying ex-JFK on a 739 next week and only entree listed in app is "Skip Main Meal Service".

It does come with a Deep Dish Chocoloate Cookie for dessert, though!

Glitch related to monthly menu change over? Thinking of requesting a special meal if I cannot order from a menu by T-24.

I'm currently experiencing the same, also ex-JFK 739. I haven't gotten a selection email, so the only place I can see this behavior is on the new My Trips screen. As this is breakfast, not even a dessert cookie is promised.

Flying from Atl to MSP, with breakfast. We've chosen that meal already, Then on from MSP to YVR, which lists lunch but at no time have they sent us an option to choose that menu. Anyone know if we get sad boxes?? All in First Class.

Check the meal services thread WIKI. It’s likely a sad box station, I believe most Canadian Delta stations are unfortunately.

Today I got a meal selection email (about 36 hours before the flight, I guess?) and following the link leads to an error page.

Yes. Use SEA to access YVR to avoid the sad box problem.
