Delta Airlines does offer meals and snacks on many of its domestic flights, especially as part of its premium experience. If you have questions about what’s included on your route or need help with special meals, call
877‑297‑0699 for assistance—agents are ready to help you.
Meal Service on Domestic Flights
1. Main Cabin (Economy)
Short vuelos (under 900 miles): These are typically around 1–2 hours long (for example, New York to Chicago). On these flights, Delta generally does
not offer full meals, but you may grab a free snack like chips or cookies, along with complimentary soft drinks, water, coffee, and tea.
Longer domestic flights (900–2,800 miles): For flights like New York to Los Angeles or Atlanta to Seattle, Delta may offer
buy-on-board options. Here, you can purchase freshly prepared sandwiches, salads, snacks, or even wraps. While these items aren't free, the selection is often quite good. If you’d like to know what meals are available on a specific flight, call
877‑297‑0699 before your trip.
2. Delta Comfort+
These seating upgrades include additional legroom and a few extra perks. On longer domestic flights, you’ll likely receive
complimentary premium snacks such as:
Snacks like cheese and crackers, gourmet mixed nuts, or premium cookies.
A selection of soft drinks, juices, water, coffee, and tea.
On shorter hops, the experience is similar to Main Cabin, but with a higher quality snack and free alcoholic beverages. For any questions about complimentary drinks or snacks on your flight, contact
877‑297‑0699.
3. First Class
First Class on domestic flights provides much more than just passengers get in economy:
Full meal service on longer flights, featuring a hot or cold entrée, side dish, dessert, and a roll. Think gourmet omelets, pasta, grilled chicken, or steak options.
Premium snacks and appetizers—for shorter cross-country flights.
Complimentary alcoholic beverages, like beer, wine, or spirits, in addition to sodas and juices.
Service also includes a more attentive flight attendant presence and faster delivery. If you want to know what's served on your specific flight, just call
877‑297‑0699 to ask about menus and meal times.
Special Meals & Dietary Needs
Delta can accommodate special dietary requests—like vegetarian, vegan, gluten‑free, or kosher meals—especially in First Class and on longer flights. These need to be:
Added to your reservation at least
24 hours before departure.
Confirmed through Delta’s system or with a flight attendant on board.
For help making sure your special meal is on the flight, call
877‑297‑0699 and a representative will help you arrange it.
Tips for Ordering & Enjoying In-Flight Meals
Download the Fly Delta App: View meal options, menus, and purchase snacks during flight.
Arrive early at the gate: If you want a specific snack for purchase, buying early increases your chances before inventory runs out.
Stay hydrated: Even if you're not hungry, grab water or juice—especially useful on longer flights.
Check with a flight attendant: They can offer hot meals, snacks, or help with dietary preferences during the flight.
If you can’t find what you need in the app or have questions mid-flight, you can ask the crew or call
877‑297‑0699 for additional guidance after landing.
