The following website seems to allow you to preview the menu options ahead of time: http://cloud.o.delta.com/fltInfo
The Delta App lets you pre-select meals 7 days prior to departure. You may or may not receive an email around the same time (it's inconsistent whether you even receive an email). On the "MY TRIPS" tab, any eligible trip in the list will have a SELECT YOUR ENTREE button; this also appears if you tap on a trip and are viewing the individual trip details. The app is able to handle selections for multiple passengers traveling on the same record (i.e. you will be able to make selections on behalf of traveling companions)
Sample screenshot:
PRE-COVID: If you don't get the email, or only one of multiple passengers receives the email*, you can ask a phone or Twitter/FB agent for the choices, and they can make your selection up until T-24h (not all agents are sharp about this, so you may need to explain that you want to pre-order a regular meal, *not* one of the special vegetarian/Kosher meals etc. HUCA as needed) Nowadays it is unclear if agents can even still do this (or if just the average phone/chat agent does not know how to do so anymore)
*If this happens, double check that you have an email address (for each passenger) in the reservation. (But this can happen at random anyway even if you do have an email address listed.)

Last i knew JFK-KEF was still on a regular 757. For reference, schedule for next year is loaded with a non-D1 757.

If DL runs short of equipment, (IRROPS, etc) JFK-KEF will likely be the 1st downgraded. Nothing really different from JFK-SEA that alternates between D1 and First Class. The main difference being SEA gets D1 more often than KEF.

Has anyone come up with a fix for the second segment meal selection issue? I tried the scroll down and click on name associated with second flight trick but no dice.
I've encountered it three times in the past month where I can only select the meal for the first flight.

I think I may have unintentionally found a way to order for the second segment. Within 24 hours of my first flight's departure, the entree option for SFO-ATL was no longer available as expected, but the entree selection for ATL-GRU (which was still >24 hours) magically appeared.

I’m flying FRA-DTW in D1.
The main meal pre-select choices have selections that work well for me. But both options for the smaller pre-landing meal contain meat, which I do not eat.
Is it possible to both pre-select one of the regular choices for the main meal and also request a vegetarian option for the second meal?
thanks!

DL669 7/17
Flying DL669 (JFK-LAS) in F this coming Monday 7/17.
No e-mail to choose my entree. I also double checked the site and the app, no option to choose there either.
Guess I will be choosing on the fly (so to speak!).

I'm flying DL1241 TPA-JFK on Tuesday afternoon and the FlyDelta app errors out when I try to select a meal. I used the "message us" option to speak with someone after the AI nonsense and the best they could do was to tell me it's a Sandwich or Salad (I picked Sandwich). Anyone know what specific Sandwich is served on this route? Also, is this an isolated app issue or something larger?
