Do you recall approximately what time this was??? I was planning to sit outside myself. Don't want to be in a room packed with people. About a month ago I went to a lounge in Cancun airport, stayed long enough to grab something to eat and left. It was completely packed, like uncomfortably packed.

It has been mentioned that SLC has already rebounded to a point where it's at normal or exceeding normal passenger numbers.

I did a MSP-HNL and HNL-MSP the last couple weeks in D1.
767 was tray service for drinks. Single tray for dinner and Breakfast services. Snacks setup in galley by restrooms during lights out.
A330 was cart for drinks. Single tray for dinner and Breakfast services. Snacks setup in galley by restrooms during lights out.
Beef, Chicken or Pasta seems to be what's on offer. Breads were ice cold and hard. It reminded me of some of Y+ products I've seen over the years.
Canned cocktails were not catered in either flight. The FA said the HNL D1s are catered the same way on her international flights and she hasn't seen the canned cocktails on any of them either.

SLC SkyClub is wide open this morning. I only saw one person outdoors. Interesting that they have both bars open but only one of the food service areas.
On another note, still no blankets and pillows on domestic F redeyes.
I thought we dispensed with the theory of Covid spreading through touch points a year ago. I’m not sure what the food/drink service was because I slept the whole flight.
Edit: wife slept less than me on the flight. She reports that they might have served snack boxes and that they came around later with a tray of mini Clif bars and Goldfish. Route was FAI-SLC departing 12:45am, so I wouldn’t have expected much for food even pre-Covid.

Hi,
Has anyone flown delta one internationally recently? I am wondering if the service is the same level as pre Covid.
I can upgrade from economy on an overnight flight from JFK to ATH for $800 and trying to figure out if it’s worth it. The plane is an a330-300, so it’s not the newer product. Flight is in two weeks.
Thanks for your help!

I will be flying ATL-EZE tonight on the archaic 767-300 which is probably the worst seat in DL’s long haul fleet. I will report back but if you value the sleep then the A330 is probably worth it given the seats are better that the 763. I took an upgrade offer of $400 on this route on a economy mileage booking so that’s a no brainer for me. Is the $800 they are offering greater or less than the current difference in price on this route?
