Current 2021 First Class meal service status -- Current FC meal service consists of cold meal boxes with the exception of JFK-SEA and BOS-SEA/SFO FC marketed flights which receive hot meal service. This includes both domestic and international DL FC marketed flights. Otherwise, only D1 marketed flights receive hot meals. All flights over 900 miles which depart before 9PM receive meal service in FC. In addition, flights over 2300 miles will receive meal service in FC for departures after 9PM.
There have been no official announcements from DL concerning when hot meals will return to FC, however, it is rumored it will return Q1 2022.

Ex-SEA today, they only had Starbucks branded paper drink cups and no snack basket. Ex-SLC had multiple versions of plastic cups and snack basket despite being a shorter flight. What a joke! Saw a lot of pilots wearing a lanyard today that says "stop outsourcing DL careers" or something to that effect...they have a point.

The ATH station seems to be the only airport crew in world that knows how to cook a filet. I've had it multiple times last couple months. Never has it been overcooked.
