6:59 PM which should still be in the meal service time. My flight home is around 4 p.m. and I did use an RUC on that since there was inventory and the first aisle available was towards the back of the bus and that is also showing no meal service.

It has a very strong economy and many large corporations. This means tons of O/D traffic, lots of corporate contracts, and a healthy amount of people able to afford leisure travel.

No one responded. I’m guessing we don’t know yet, but in the app it says LUNCH so we’ll see what that means. Hopefully it’s breakfast.

The website lists nothing for this flight in First. Even before Covid, I don't recall any meals in FC on red-eye's (other than D1 flights which had some sort of light meal offerings) and I believe the best you might get is a granola bar or other snack on arrival. Definitely nothing in terms of plated meal service.

Delta would do better to just give F passengers a $25 voucher for a to-go order from an airport restaurant. Current D1 is what you would have gotten on LGA-ATL pre-covid.

Delta used to do a full D1 service in J on redeye. I flew to Lima in 2015 and they did a full D! service on the LIM/ATL redeye. Flew that route again in 2018 and it was only a couple choices and everything came out on one tray. I think they did have a selection of wine but it came out with your meal. I think the prearrival meal was similar to a breakfast you would get in domestic F if even that.

What’s the meal service now in “delta one” [tray] on HNL-ATL, HNl-MSP? It’s rather long “double trans” (Pac and Con) flights that DL charges for a lot, and claims include dinner, snacks and breakfast. Is that all still just the “flight fuel” boxes of junk? Any recent first hand reports?
