We never thought we’d see the day an airline would offer oat milk, but that day is here! Delta Airlines is significantly upgrading its inflight menu and passengers can expect to see some fun new offerings as well as at least one that lactose-intolerant passengers will welcome.
For instance, the free in-flight snack will now include the garden salsa flavor mini Sun Chip as an option, and you can request Lakeland Dairies dairy-free oat milk creamer with your coffee instead of the typical half and half, which will still be available (we’re personally holding out for hazelnut creamer… please?)
For liquor lovers, tequila is back! The Lunazul Blanco tequila, made with 100 percent blue Weber agave, is now one of the spirits you can request onboard. Additionally, you can order a new beer option, New Belgium Brewing’s Voodoo Ranger IPA, if you are flying domestically. This fruity, tropical IPA rolls out on October 10.
Starting September 26, airline breakfast just got better. A new “AM Snack Basket” will include Biscoff cookies, Nature Valley soft-baked oatmeal squares and other items. This is complimentary for Delta Comfort+ passengers on flights more than 900 miles departing between 5 and 9:45am, and for first-class passengers on flights of 251-1,499 miles during those same departure hours.
First-class passengers will see some beautiful meals, such as Southern-inspired food on domestic flights out of Atlanta (southern chess pie bar for dessert, anyone?), created with chef Mashama Bailey of The Grey in Savannah. Or a wonderfully vegetarian mushroom ravioli with red pepper butter sauce, wilted garlic spinach, artichoke, marinated tomato and parmesan for select domestic routes over 900 miles. We’re kinda thinking first class might be worth the upgrade here!
