Overview
- Delta will stop complimentary snacks and drinks in Main Cabin and Comfort on routes under 350 miles starting May 19, while First Class keeps full service.
- The cutoff affects roughly 450 daily departures, so many short hops will now have no onboard refreshments.
- More Main and Comfort customers on longer short-haul routes will gain from the shift, with full service added on flights 350 miles and above.
- Delta says about 14% of its daily flights will newly receive full beverage and snack service under the updated threshold.
- Reports from flight attendants describe earlier cabin prep at 18,000 feet from June 2 due to turbulence injuries, though that procedure change has limited independent confirmation.
