ATL MEX in F meal - did something change?
sorry if this is in another thread
flying ATL MEX in F this evening (715p departure) and I was looking forward to a decent meal on the flight similar to the upgraded meal service on this route the last few times.
turns out that they only have 1 main choice and it is a cold beef. I don't eat beef, so it appears that I'm out of luck for anything substantial. (I had planned my meals during the day to be able to eat a good meal on the flight)
did something change with meals in F to MEX?
thanks in advance

Appleguru,
That's what I recall as well from previous flights. Certainly something was off the mark tonight.
Appreciate your response.

Usually, wherever the Brits go, the leave behind Cricket, tea and English.
Mexico City is a little different...If not for all the pasty shops, you would never know the British were there at all.

Oh? When were the Brits there? I've heard of pasty shops in historically mining cities (like Pachuca, where you see them every other block), but in Mexico City?

Good and airline food are not compatible terms in my book. (And yes that includes the Delta 1 offerings on international. Generally there's a much more edible option at the departure airport!)

You planned your meals assuming the airline food would be good? Really? And this was NOT the first time you flew Delta?

My last 5 Delta Flights had botched catering or big downgrades.. not sure which it is:
ATL- LAX - No dessert catered
ATL-DAL - No snackbasket.. just peanuts or biscoff
DFW-LAX - No meals catered, just peanuts or biscoff
LAX - HNL - Breakfast was miniscule.. very surprised but how tiny for a 6 hour flight. Just a 3 oz quiche and some fruit.
HNL - NRT - 8 hour flight, meal all served at once. Salad was ONE but... not an exaggeration... ONE bite. Came through with ice cream after but it was soup. Hard to mess up a Sundae but it was bad.

This is a route where it would be really hard to know in advance based on anything Delta publishes. On the one hand, it's only 1300 miles and it is within North America. On the other hand, it's an international flight that is not to a beach/vacation market in the southern part of Mexico.

Separate item:
Any idea when the new MEX airport is due to open? I didn't even know a new airport was under construction until we drove past a ten mile long construction zone (on our way to Pachuca).
