Mmm bagel chips...of course the only thing missing with that would be that I prefer a slightly salty, garlicky bagel chip with some hummus on the side.

I miss the Toblerone NW used to have in the basket. I also miss the Milano cookies in the WorldClub. It's nice to see DL having bananas!

I do miss the Sun Chips, but the pretzel crisps are fine. I have seen them at Publix recently also.
Like others have said, the bananas and apples are a welcome addition.
As far as the Biscoff cookies go, they've pretty much become a signature Delta offering. But now that they're available at grocery stores, they no longer have the special hard-to-find mystique about them anymore. And because I can buy them at the grocery store any time I want, I never do.
Kind of like Girl Scout cookies. If they were available year-round, I'd probably never buy them knowing that I could buy them whenever. But since they only come around once a year, stock up!
But I may be the only one that misses the Old Colony animal crackers. They had those a couple of years back. Tasty!
Wouldn't mind if they rotated items every once in a while.

I don't mind the pretzel crisps, but I do miss Sun Chips as well as the Chocolate Chip Granola Bars. When the flight was too short for a breakfast service, a granola bar, a banana, and a Bailey's & coffee was an adequate breakfast substitute.

I always get one TWIX, bring it home, put it in my pantry and NEVER eat it. I use it as proof that I have total self control on my new diet. (If you're wondering, by the time I take my next trip the old TRIX is always gone, proof that my wife is eating them, my cat has learned to open the pantry or I have been eating them while I sleep walk. Actually, I'm betting on the cat.)

If some jewlery is stolen from your house....the maid did it!
BUT
If the twix is eaten before your next flight...DEFINITELY THE CAT!

I am a fan of the apples and banannas. and a banana/biscoff 'sandwich' is kind of amazing and a sugar attack. both of those are good things with your morning tea
i do miss the sun chips, but with the $4.50 super bag at costco i tihnk i will be aok without it as a snack option
the pretzels are aok as a substitute.

So while at Cub Foods here in the Minneapolis suberbs tonight, as I walk to the deli, I pass by about 4 different types of the Pretzel Crisps, with a bag (a little bit smaller than a large bag of chips that one might bring to a picnic) selling for $3.49. Since it's been 12 days since I've been on a plane, I was tempted to get a bag to relive the glory of sitting on a plane for 3 hours.

In my case, it will depend on the time of day. In the morning I will go for the fruit, in the afternoon the pretzel crisps or the peanuts to tide me over until dinner, and in the evening, the Twix to replace the dessert I did not have at dinner (so that I would be keeping the calories down
).

Miss the Sunchips. Like the pretzel crisps, but not as much.
Twix are a nice addition, and, if you read labels, not all that bad for you, probably due to the portion size.
Biscoffs are the old reliable and, to answer OP's question, my favorite since the mid 90s. Will always associate that distinctive taste with DL, and, as mentioned in other threads, they are truly phenomenal with nutella!

I actually like the pretzel crisps a bunch and you don't see them everywhere.
Considering that the vending machine at work has sun chips, I like them, but I know I can can get them anywhere pretty easily.
