Flew DTW-SEA in Comfort earlier this week and didn't see a snack basket get passed around. Only Clif Mini Bars and goldfish were available, no almonds or Biscoffs. Also only saw snack boxes get distributed up front. I thought that the snack baskets were brought back 2 weeks ago?

Re: ridiculous fares, thanks for the heads up. I've got an affinity group conference trip in August (in Tejas fwiw) for which I haven't booked air yet. (I usually grab a room first, then decide whether to go.)
Maybe the fares are why Delta just sent me a $100 eCredit based on my measly Silver Medallion status: We can’t thank you enough for choosing Delta to help you stay connected to who and what matters most. Travel is our love language, so we’ve added a $100 eCredit to your SkyMiles account just for being a valued Silver Medallion® Member.

Does anyone know if the vegetarian options or other options in special meals are any good? Any experience with these? I don't really want chicken thigh or beef medallioin of lasagna. Crappy selection for JFK-MXP in D1. Seems more like a coach meal.
Also, will a lap infant get a meal?
Thanks

I'm flying D1 7-4-7/7 JFK-LAS-JFK, I just received an email from DL noting safety concerns and the email also notes:

My bolding, there is an associated picture--much nicer looking than the "gourmet"
boxes they've been dumping on pax lately....I'll report what they really serve on 7/8

Ohhh, when I read safety concerns I was thinking actually concerns like with the aircraft or the security of the flight or something of that nature. Never mind, that makes more sense.

To have 'upscale" dining, don''t you need to have had a scale in the first place? I guess I'll find out later this month with my first COVID-era domestic D1 transcon!
