Yes! Free Meals Are Back on Delta Flights

In an effort to cut costs, many airline carriers eliminated free meals and increased baggage fees. However, soon Delta will bring back free in-flight meals to passengers in the main cabin on long flights. The free in-flight meals for economy class will start on March 1 on flights between New York City’s JFK airport and Los Angeles and San Francisco. More routes with free meals will be started on April 24 including Orlando, Seattle and others. Delta claims to be the only U.S. carrier to offer free meals on some transcontinental flights. The meals vary depending on flight times, and passengers will be able to choose from different offerings. For instance, morning fliers can choose from a breakfast sandwich, a breakfast medley or a fruit and cheese plate. Passengers flying during the day will be offered a mesquite-smoked turkey combo, a Mediterranean whole grain veggie wrap or fruit and cheese plate. “We are all about making our Main Cabin experience the best it can be for our customers and offering free, high quality meals is a big part of that experience,” said Allison Ausband, Delta’s senior vice president of in-flight service.
