"Select your DeltaOne Meal" on NYC-MCO flights...rebranding?
So, I just got an email from DL inviting me to select my Delta One meal for a flight to Florida from LGA. I'm probably going to wind up on a flight from JFK instead (this is a connection and JFK has better lounges), but I'm just a little bit surprised at that phrasing. Is this just DL's IT not handling the F/J shuffle well? Or is there some brandhing shuffle that I missed?

Most likely that's it, as such "direct" flights domestic segment fare class has been all along also impacted, and now it likely carries through to this.

It's just an IT glitch or they forgot to change the boilerplate language, as discussed on the preordering thread.

This was LGA-MCO and one of the options was a rather nice-sounding steak dish (that I'm hoping shows up as an option on my JFK-MCO flight).

I received the same email, with the same wording, a few days prior to my LAX-DFW flight on Sat 16 Feb. Equipment was an A319.
Glad to see the advance meal selection program is expanding like this. I'll forgive the "Delta One" branding on the emails for the moment
