"Delta's new policy eliminates its 'Express Service' tier for flights between 250 and 500 miles, providing no food or drink on flights under 350 miles."
"The decision to cut service is part of an effort to create a more consistent experience across Delta's network, according to a company representative."
"Approximately 450 daily flights will transition from Express Service to no service, affecting only 9% of all daily flights, which are under an hour in the air."
"Delta's service threshold is now higher than other major U.S. carriers, with United Airlines starting service at 300 miles and American Airlines at 250 miles."
Delta Air Lines is discontinuing its snack and drink service on flights shorter than 350 miles, affecting approximately 450 daily flights. This change, effective May 19, aims to create a more consistent experience across the airline's network. Flights under 250 miles already do not offer food or drink. Delta's decision comes amid rising fuel prices and industry struggles, with ticket costs increasing by 24% from January to April 2026. The new policy sets a higher service threshold compared to United Airlines and American Airlines.
