May your travels find you safe and May this be the year that all sad box routes are permanently retired!

Aua-atl 1/1/24
To start the new year, DL offered a trio of the sadest of sad boxes on this flight. Pictured is the "roast beef" salad. Other choices were salmon salad (which smelled as bad as it looked) and the "brie sandwich." (Catered in BOS apparently - shocking if DO&CO had anything to do with this.)
There is a caterer at AUA that serves AA, UA, BA, and KL (GCG/Calloway) but DL is too cheap to use them. Keep Descending!

Very sad that DL is still pushing these 'sad boxes' on routes where catering is available. Even worse when they dump these on a flight that departs from a major US city.
