They promptly said they could assist and asked which meal. I chose the Milanese Chicken (over a Mushroom Pasta). I provided my flight info and it is supposedly confirmed in my reservation. We shall see on Monday. |
Does anyone know what time exactly the pre-select email is sent out? Is it typically sent out at exactly T-72 or is there sometimes a few hour delay? I’m flying JFK-MCO on Saturday at 7:29pm and I haven’t received a pre select email yet. |
I just called DL and was told that pre select is only available for D1 flights and when the agent went to try and pre select a meal, only the special meal choices came up. |

I finally received an email to preselect my meal. It was the same two choices (hamburger sliders and chicken-faro salad) that I had flying out and for the last 2 months. There is one flight a day CVG-DEN and back. They can't change the meal up east-west vs. west-east? Guess that isn't this thread, but still, I was all excited when I got the email. :td:

I didn't receive an email to pre-select a meal for first between ATL and SFO. No biggie. I was just looking forward to finally being able to pick out my meal ahead of time.

I recall a coworker from more than 25 years ago who would routinely order the seafood special meal - confident it would be fresh.

Tweeted DL - said preselection not available MSP-TPA 🤷🏼.♀️ |
Glad to see this thread. I still fly coach on Delta quite a bit, so I don't care about getting my choice of meals in a premium class so much as I care about getting a substantial meal at all. (Although in Business Class I've occasionally been beset by the fear of getting an all-carb, all-sugar breakfast because the eggs were gone.) I pre-order sandwiches on other airlines to avoid worrying about having time for takeout at a transfer airport. So hopefully Delta is setting up a business process and technology to eventually allow ordering of that chicken croissant sandwich on long-haul domestic flights. I periodically make this request to Delta customer service.
