BE Service before 9a
When Delta/NWA merge their BE products in June, what will the standard be for TATL flights leaving Europe before 9a? Do they serve a breakfast in BE or will they do what CO does and provide lunch service except for a couple of entree options that are more in line with breakfast? I know that NWA served breakfast only. Am curious.

This morning on the 9am LGW-ATL we were served the standard lunch fare about 1 1/2 hours into flight. Salad, steak, soup & ice cream sundae :-)

9am CDG-ATL on 5/25
On Monday, on the 9am CDG-ATL flight, it was brunch after departing. Appetizers were smoked salmon, fruit salad, and cold cuts, each in its own little plate. Main plate options were apple-stuffed french toast (which I had, very good), steak and eggs (my partner had, and with what we know about the limits of airline-food-prep, he should have known better), a linguine and vegetable dish, and one other option, which I don't remember. This was accompanied by breads adn followed by a cheese course and sundaes. A pretty nice lunch was served 90min before landing.

I am flying in BE next week and can't get anything but row 7...I guess that means I won't have a choice in picking my entree since I am so far back..has anyone had any experiences with this?

Tues (June 2)I fly DL (on NW metal) FCO -- ATL, flt leaves at 945 AM. I would be happy to see brunch, but I am guessing lunch will be served since that is what is listed on DL website. But the chef selection looks nice, but I'm not sure a NY Strip is the best choice for lunch.

Do you have medallions status? In the past I have sometimes been approached before others around me because I'm PM so I get my choice first.
