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.

For westbound TATL, here is the current oven-roasted chicken thigh option, with the Thai coconut soup, a salad, and a salted caramel ice-cream.
The pre-arrival meal is a choice between a salad with herbed grilled chicken, or a cheeseburger:
Basically the pre-arrival meal has not changed much since the pandemic.

Wines
Flying jfk to mxp on Saturday and I was curious if the delta one wine selection was back. Delta currently said “limited selection of wines” but curious if they will pour by the bottle yet or not.

I’d assume they won’t have a pre-select option for the cold boxed “meals” starting July 13th on all remaining FC/D1 flights over 1,500 miles?

Just booked MSP-SEA. I know it's under 1500 miles so it does not qualify, but HOW can it be that you can fly first class for 4 hours over lunch and not get a meal?

for D1 flights with two meals listed, lunch and dinner, will there be options to select an entree for both, or is one meal considered the main meal and the other is a smaller 'before we land' type portion?
Thanks!
Thanks!

So in response to this post in the locked thread ...

"the Snacks listed twice thing is funny. Come on IT people, lol"
Well, I have upcoming flights with Snacks, Drinks, Breakfast, Snacks
I decided to click. And yes, there is a difference. The first "snacks" is "Enjoy a choice of snacks during your flight" with a photo of CheezIt and Biscoff. The second "snacks" is "Premium Snack Selections
From healthy to indulgent, enjoy more premium snack options from brands you know and love. On your flight, choose from snacks such as fresh fruit, chips, chocolate and more" with a photo of various items that only a snack basket could love.
I can hardly wait.
