"Delta’s new meal program will feature a variety of options for customers depending on the time of day of their flight. In the morning, customers will have the option to choose between a Honey Maple Breakfast Sandwich, Luvo Breakfast Medley or fruit and cheese plate. During the day, customers will be able to select from a Mesquite-Smoked Turkey Combo, Luvo Mediterranean Whole Grain Veggie Wrap, or fruit and cheese plate. For overnight flights, customers will be offered a breakfast bar during the pre-arrival beverage service."

Always use the SC agents, or Admirals Club or United Club agents for that matter. Irrops is one of the reasons why I retain memberships with all three. The annual fees pay for themselves in time savings a la agent access.

I flew D1 and Jetblue mint this week. BOS-SFO, I have to say its a difficult comparison. Jetblue by far has a better hard product especially if you get the single seat. The crew on JetBlue were much more on the ball. Delta won out on the food and the SkyClub access. If I were traveling alone and I could get one of the suites I would pick that again over Delta. Taking out the seating configuration ( no aisle access for window seats) I would give the Delta the win. Not having lounge access at the international terminal at SFO was a real drag.
For DCA-LAX DeltaOne flight I have coming up in the fall I am returning on a JetBlue Mint SAN-JFK (single seat) so I am looking forward to the direct comparison as well. I have a window seat on the DeltaOne portion so I obviously wished the plane was one of the 767s with aisle access for all seats. I have a SkyClub membership so I already had that access (I like the DCA SkyClub), its a bummer JetBlue doesn't have some sort of lounge access.

Many thanks, I really appreciate your help!
The meal itself will not be different. However, C+ pax will also get the snack basket and free adult beverages.

Flew LAX-DCA yesterday and I was very impressed. PDBs in real glasses, excellent service from the flight attendants including lots of refills. Three choices of entrees, cookies and snack basket before landing. The Westin Heavenly Bedding is quite nice too and I got some decent sleep.

Don't think this would warrent a new thread yet, but AA is looking into putting a 3-class A321 on BOS-LAX.
DL might soon have the worst product on the route, as the B738's are pitiful compared to VX/B6 and possibly AA in the near future.

From what I can tell SFO-BOS isn't doing all that great after UA dumped crazy amounts of capacity on that route, so would DL move the premium product to the shorter California route?

they don't need to, as they have a captive audience and what limited competition they have don't take ATL seriously (UA didn't even have SFO-ATL for awhile, for instance)
the premium business traffic doesn't exist on the route(s) to justify using a premium configured airframe on the route(s)

OTOH, it's a comp upgrade on DL as opposed to their competitors. In some ways, I would take that over a fancy business class product which isn't needed.

There is no comp upgrade on AA unless you are Exec Plat. So, you still have to pay, just through 5 or 6 500 mile certs.

I have still yet to use any SWUs. You'd be amazed at how many free upgrades I've gotten on AA and OW airlines this year. Things they never tell you about AAdvantage!
