Value for money and exceptional levels of comfort and personal service are the hallmarks of Delta Air Lines’ new international Main Cabin service.

Years of experience flying customers long haul between the UK and the USA, taking in customer feedback to shape the new service alongside comprehensive testing and dedicated staff, means Delta’s Main Cabin enhancements set a new standard to be enjoyed by customers.

Warm and friendly welcome

One of the many distinctive qualities of Delta is its commitment to providing superior service in the sky.

Passengers will immediately be struck by the warm and friendly welcome from every member of the crew, both at the gate and as they board the plane.

Main Cabin cocktail

Shortly after departure, customers in the Main Cabin are treated to a delicious Welcome Cocktail to toast the start of their trip. This comes in the shape of that classic Italian apéritif, the Bellini, a blend of sparkling white wine and peach juice.

Ready to enjoy your flight

Delta's reimagined international Main Cabin service offers the airline’s unique brand of hospitality and attention to detail. Availability of on-board Wi-Fi, as well as a hot towel service just after take-off, also means you will be feeling refreshed and ready to enjoy your flight.

Restaurant-style refinement

Another detail to look forward to is the improved gourmet offerings on board.

Printed menus, new placements, proper cutlery sets and larger portions all introduce a superior level of restaurant-style refinement to passenger’s dining experience in the cabin.

Chef-curated​ inflight meals

Your inflight meal will scale the culinary heights with new, chef-curated menus and a choice of entrées, such as Caesar salad and Delta One favourites like Harissa Shrimp.

A separate dessert service rounds off your meal, where you can indulge in treats such as ice cream followed by a choice of tea or coffee.

An array of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages with specially-selected wines and beers, and sweet and savoury snacks are also available to enjoy throughout the flight.

Time to relax

A new turndown service means that when it’s time to kick back and relax, snooze or watch one of the latest releases on the inflight entertainment system, you can expect increased levels of comfort with blankets and amenity kits.

Chocolates at the end of the flight

What's more, as you near your final destination, there is a sweet send-off. Customers are bid a fond farewell with a departure chocolate given as a token of gratitude from the cabin crew.

With a whole new era of comfort and affordability for passengers in the Main Cabin to experience, it’s time to rediscover Delta.
