I was expecting much more sweet potato, esp in the stew itself, but found the dish actually very tasty … could have used an AS-style ciabatta roll

agree with krazykanuck that the fig-and-burrata salad and dessert were both excellent

This seems to be the case at MCI as well. I flew MCI-SEA-MCI in August and received a cold meal box, and MCI-LGA yesterday which I also received a cold meal box. Both were on A220's.

Those flights are below 900 miles. There are no meals.

There used to be meals for certain flights on ATL-EWR before 2020.

That's why I asked a question. I remember on multiple occasions, breakfast, lunch and dinner between New York and Atlanta. It was an exception to the 900 mi rule.

Yep, a number of people have asked this same question post-Covid, and the answer remains the same that DL is sticking hard-and-fast to 900 mile rule with no exceptions at this point. They did, however, get rid of the pre-Covid meal window "hole" for departures between 1:30 - 4:00 PM on flights between 900 and 1400 miles.

I do not disagree with the policy. The real question I'm asking is if I pack my own lunch 😂

Recent breakfast option on DCA-MSP. The quiche was gross with way too much half-melted cheese. No bacon either.

Why can’t I pre-order on my flight BOS-SEA?
