Menu received tonight for upcoming DL1555 ATL-ANC on JUL 08. I chose the halibut as my last few DL steaks have been dry, and I have dinner plans at a steakhouse the next evening.

My apologies for not seeing your post sooner. I’m sure your flight has already occurred, but I highly enjoyed my pasta. It had a great mushroom flavor without being too overpowering. My neighbor had the chicken and while it smelled great, it appeared dry as I had experienced before. I was disappointed I did not receive any extra Parmesan cheese on the side as my previous flights.

I flew SLC-AMS on Jul/4. I had the halibut, it was dried out as the preparation wasn't in a thai/curry type sauce which probably would have "saved" it, but, it tasted like... airplane food. I don't eat beef, didn't want chicken or pasta, so... in the end it's all airplane food (I brought a lot of grapes and watermelon so I was very happy).

Received a July 9 email selection for a July 12 flight DFW-DTW newest flagship A220, once on board only snack service. No meals.

Crew was so late I almost wonder if they missed catering and didn't know they were loaded with food.

Tremendously disappointing as I was craving an over-seasoned chicken sandwich. :rolleyes:

What time was the flight?

I'm another Twitter recluse (ditto FB). I'm a self-declared dinosaur.

We have our first premium Delta flight next week (BOS-EDI), and wondered about meals. We understand we should be expecting an email from them, but it would be nice to be pro-active, so I'll give this a try.

Many thanks for the hand-holding level instructions!

DL1563 doesnt get meal service. All other DFW-DTW flights do. Is there a reason you didn't ask for your meal? DFW-DTW is just over the 900 mile mark to get meals except during the 1400-1600 exception time period.

Yeah, the FA crew were not professional at all. Feared that if I asked for the meals they'd retaliate if they did in fact have them but originally chose not to serve.

No email?
 
We leave in about 48 hours MSP-LHR, but none in my party has received the pre-selection email. Is that odd or are we not in the right market? Thanks!

Flying Delta One?

Hit up twitter and ask them for your choices.

Indeed we are...its Delta One going and Virgin Atlantic on the flight home in a couple weeks. I wasn’t sure if I could confirm for my whole party on Twitter? Will make that my next step! Thanks!

It will probably be easier to do it over the phone if you have a bunch of people.

Wow - their Twitter reply was within a minute!
Thanks so much for the help.

Also, FYI, a few hours ago, the "menu choice" email arrived. But DH needs GF (gluten free), so we handled that with Twitter.
Now... if the food quality is as good.... ;)

We haven't been on Delta since... I can't even remember... so this will be interesting.

Thanks again!

You should be able to select a gluten free meal by accessing your reservation via delta.com.

Thanks.
Next time, we'll look more carefully.
We are all set now, including for the return.

Cheers!
