Food wise? LOL. Covid and DL's continuing concern for your safety prevents them from serving meals on that route.

Spirit is starting LGA-LAX on the weekends soon. And they never reduced cabin service. Probably for a couple hundred bucks can get a Big Front Seat and a few cocktails and a snack box at least as good as DL has (oh and they have ramen noodles too).

FC Meals in June―How to Actually Find Out Ahead of Time
On a whim I did upgrade to FC for Flight 320 BOS-SEA in mid-June. How can I find out from Delta a day or two ahead how substantial the meal offering will be on that specific flight? Will that app-launched "message us" feature work for this kind of question? Should I finally make Twitter part of my life?
(For 6+ hours I'll need two protein-rich meals; need to know how much salami-cheese-olives I need to haul on board.)

I find a lot of the spiked seltzers akin to an airline serving PBR or Natural Light on board and it certainly doesn't give AA or UA a competitive advantage in my world. I certainly wouldn't have created some kind of ad campaign around it. BTW, I believe AA had White Claws in main cabin pre-pandemic, not sure if they're bringing it back.

I would bring backup food no matter what Delta tells you. Even if they do bring back meals for your flight, I would expect issues. So sad to watch DL go from front of the pack to back of the pack so quickly.

Your choices are Bistro or Market. Which box do you want to eat out of?

What meals were served ATL MEX?
My gf and I are headed to Mexico City in mid-July for a family baptism.
She has never flown first class so I decided to surprise her with FC tickets.
In the before times what kind of meals used to be offered on ATL-MEX and back?
If we get lucky and real meal service comes back what could we expect?
I'm really booking this in anticipation that first class will offer actual first class service come July

I've never taken a Domestic F flight before COVID though, only started traveling/getting upgraded last year
what does a normal domestic F meal look like?
