'No Food and Beverages'—Delta Air Lines cuts complimentary snacks on short flights
The new move by Delta Air Lines aims to reduce operating costs on short-haul routes as airline adjusts in-flight service offerings
Delta Airline has reportedly canceled several flights amid changes to its schedule, as well as personnel, while also considering a possible end to free food on its flights.
The flying company said it's making changes to its in-flight food and beverage service, including removing the offering from around 450 daily flights, or about 9%.
"Beginning May 19, Delta is adjusting onboard beverage service to create a more consistent experience across our network," said Delta's spokesperson.
As reported by USA today, if anyone is taking a short Delta Air Lines flight this summer, they won't receive food and beverage service.
The Atlanta-based airline carrier will no longer provide any food or beverage service on flights of 349 miles or less, including routes such as Los Angeles to San Francisco. Delta will also offer full food and beverage service on flights of 350 miles or more for Delta Comfort and Delta Main Cabin passengers, which is about 14% of its daily flights.
"Even on the small number of flights without beverage service, our crew will continue to be visible, available, and focused on caring for our customers, like they do on every flight," the airline added.
Exceptionally, Delta First customers will continue to receive full service on all flights.
