I don’t know why DL can’t offer cans of juice (specifically OJ since ice isn’t really needed). It would be great for morning flight and be super easy to serve alongside the beer/wine. It would also offer something other than water for those who don’t drink or are underage.

Questionable on some routes?
Just flew r/t FC BOS-RDU last weekend and today. Received pre-board Purell wipe and Y bag (goldfish, water, chocolate, biscoff), but nothing else - no FAs in sight outside of landing trash collection.
Feels a bit silly to complain about not getting a beer on a flight, but both were marked as 500+ miles in the app and I expected the option. Thoughts?

Fair questions, though not 100% on board with needing to request every item when quoted a "service" rather than "available upon request" (as the Delta website states).
I asked FA at the start of the flight (before takeoff) and she said she would see if she could get back to me later. Didn't feel like ringing the call button later in the flight (admittedly my decision and may have changed outcome) due to aforementioned nigglings about it being a single beer on a short flight.

I agree they really need a non-alcoholic drink option that isn’t water added back onboard. It would be a bad look if a DL flight had to make an emergency landing due to a diabetic having a low sugar and not having appropriate catering. The few bucks saved by not catering the flight with no juice/soda options would quickly be erased by the thousands of $ for cost of the diversion.

Northbound BOGATL.
Flight was delayed an hour. BOG airport has beautiful facilities but all the flights are leaving at the same time, so immigration/security bottleneck and significant. All lounges are closed except the airport one, which accepts priority pass. Food was horrible in that contract lounge (has nothing to do with delta)
Onboard the flowing is offered. Sandwich is reasonable, but that dessert is horrible (although it looked nicer than the lemon bar on the way down, the simple lemon bar was way better - I hope it’s not spoiled, we will see).

Never mind. My mistake. I think the way to keep this thread open is to retitle it based on the majority of posts: "Current DL Food Offerings and Future Food Rumors."
