I would doubt it, but if you look in the "let's eat: what's being served 2018" thread here, you'll find a link to the delta.dumb website page that lists the routes that currently do the meal preselection,
A wiki here would be useful so maybe when you find the information you can post it for everyone. |
On DL 119 CDG-BOS this Thursday... no email about menu selection as was received on the origination in BOS.
|
Catering never loaded the confirmed special meals on my last two flights. So, I don't have much confidence that this will ever work on domestic flights.

Dtw-icn and nrt-dtw d1 - follow up
Just returned from DTW-ICN and NRT-DTW in D1 - selected Korean meal outbound and Japanese meal on return via the special meals option weeks before my trip . When pursers handed me a menu , I remarked that I had selected the meals via special meals and both pursers looked at their manifest and duly noted that the requests were shown and loaded . On outbound DTW-ICN , one of the newer pre-selection routes , I did not receive email asking for pre-order though I suspect that was because of the special meal request. Both meals were quite good. |
On PDX-NRT flight both Mrs. P and I pre-ordered Japanese meals. Advised FA, who noted there were a lot of diamonds on flight. She is PM and didn’t get the Japanese meal - they had run out when she got served. We were in 3A and 4A on a 7 row D1 configutpration. We’ll send a complaint to DL when we return. |

DM's might be given first choice of meals among pax who did not order a special meal, but a special meal that was pre-ordered should not have been given away. I'm trying to understanding if the FA clearly understood what you meant or thought that you were just asking for a Japanese meal. |
Our pre-selected meals were mentioned and acknowledged by the pursers of both DTW-PVG and PVG-DTW.
Here was the DTW-PVG leg email with options. The PVG-DTW leg had to manually go in and request the Chinese meal, good thing too cause they ran out. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9d24acdbd3.jpg |
Mentioned to purser we both orders special meals. He replied there were a lot of DM’s on the flight. He knew but someone screwed up. |
We are 72 hours out flying SLC-AMS and we haven’t received an email to preselect. Will be very disappointed - can you call Delta about this to place an order? |

I would assume yes because when you select a meal to preorder, there's some statement that you can call DL to change the choice up to 24 hours before departure. |
For what it's worth, my last four flights have all had confirmed special meal requests. None were catered. This doesn't bode well for Delta's expansion of pre-ordering on domestic flights.

Could pre-select my meal as expected on my last JFK-BRU flight. However when arriving at my seat there was no D1 menu in my assigned seat (saw menu's at other D1 seats). The reason why; 'but you have ordered a pre-select meal' eeeuhh?

My wife said well I like to know what I am eating, which must have struck the FA as funny because she giggled and said fair point and brought my wife a menu which we shared. |
