Delta reduces inflight meal service.

The US mega-carrier is temporarily adjusting is onboard inflight meal service to offer more basic and essential food and beverage offering. 

The changes are designed to lessen physical touchpoints on board to protect both passengers and cabin crew. Similar steps are being taken on the ground in Delta Sky Clubs.

From now passengers will start to see the changes on board on all U. domestic and short-haul international flights. Onboard service has been streamlined to include only the following:

Two snack offerings across Main Cabin and Delta Comfort+, as well as in First Class on flights less than 900 miles.
First Class and Delta One meal service on U.S. domestic and short-haul international flights greater than 900 miles will now be replaced by individually pre-packaged, non-perishable Flight Fuel boxes with two snack offerings.
Beverages will be individual bottled water only – no alcohol offerings – across all cabins, with plastic cups and ice also removed during this time.
Preselect and Special Meal service will be temporarily suspended.

Delta previously announced the following temporary onboard changes across all U.S. domestic and international flights:

All glassware, including coffee mugs and champagne flutes, from First Class and Delta One have been removed.
Hot towel service has been temporarily suspended in all cabins.

As always, customers are welcome to bring their own food and beverage on board to enjoy during their travels. A comprehensive list of all temporary onboard changes can be found at delta.com.
