Thanks. I did. Learned a lot about sprite and taking a bar on a plane.
I also learned about a policy of canned cocktails. Don't see a recent butt-in-seat review, or mention of food service (Specifically in flight-fuel boxes). Certainly will keep looking. Reddit has been somewhat helpful so far.

Exactly. These new changes were just announced and have yet to go into effect. I have a round trip (in F) coming up Apr 26 - May 7 so will definitely leave a review of the service changes then.

I had a early morning flight to MIA this morning (cancelled due to my hotel being in the curfew zone in Miami Beach) and was planning on filling a few minis with baileys and filling a large travel coffee mug with coffee from the Skyclub and making my own coffee and bailey's for in flight and also filling a couple minis with vodka and kahlua and taking some cream from the skyclub or using a mini of the baileys and making my own white russian in flight.
I'm surprised you got the ice through TSA though and didn't it melt by the time you got on board? Could be smart to bring a ball jar or empty yeti and fill it with ice just before the flight in the skyclub. Hopefully the flight attendants didn't catch you

It does produce lots of 'smoke' so there's always a chance that someone on plane will freak out.

We always eat at Mastro's in Scottsdale when we visit, and they make a lemon martini where they make a big deal out of pouring the martini at the table into a glass that has a small amount of dry ice - the smoke and bubbling is sort of gimmicky, yet also sorta cool. GF loves that cocktail.
I have carried ice through TSA checks many times. I have also filled my yeti with ice at the Popeyes in DTW (self serve)

A Yeti tumbler will keep ice solid to usable for hours.
Also here are some pictures of Sprite Zero 12 and 7.5oz cans from my trip to Publix today (FL).

1. You get no question and proceed to your gate
2. You get questioned, dump out the water and proceed to your gate.
You won't get arrested or detained

Have been on 52 Delta flights since the pandemic began...this week took my first American flight. Was super excited thinking I would get a Diet Dr. Pepper and some more service. I only follow the Delta threads as I mostly fly them, and was led to believe that Delta service is far below the competitors....well, let me tell you - I will not be complaining about Delta again (not true, but not at least for a few weeks). American flight attendants and service were terrible. A small bottle of water on two flights with a bag of pretzels (MSP-CLT and PHL-MSP). Nothing on the shorter segments (CLT-MDT and MDT-PHL - that last segment is only 20 minutes so no problem there, but the other one was 90 minutes long). The flight attendants came once thru the aisle and then sat down the rest of the entire flight. Plus completely full flights, it felt so weird to sit next to a stranger again although I actually kind of liked that. But with the seat blocking and more snacks offered, Delta is doing a much better job.

What happened when you requested a Diet DP? Or did you not even ask for one? 🤦♂️
