In its Centennial year, Delta Air Lines remains dedicated to providing an elevated onboard experience that puts comfort, luxury and customer choice at its centre. This is highlighted by the airline’s recent expansion of its Missoni partnership in Delta One, launching an exclusive Delta One collection inclusive of bespoke bedding on international flights and a suite of amenities, and now several enhanced onboard food and beverage offerings.
“Summer is a season of adventure and relaxation for many of our customers,” said Stephanie Laster, Managing Director of Onboard Culinary Experience, Delta. “It’s a time when indulgence takes centre stage, which we actively work to extend to the food, meals and beverages that enhance the journey. With this in mind, we’re excited to evolve our onboard offerings monthly, rolling out fresh new flavours and options that match what customers tell us they want.”
Now is the time for customers to visit the most-searched summer destinations, and Delta’s international routes are getting a culinary upgrade. In May, Delta launched its first-ever flight to Sicily with new, daily non-stop service between New York-JFK and Catania. As the only direct connection between Catania and the U.S., the route’s new menu items are just as unique – such as a spinach and ricotta rotolo with cherry tomato sauce and fried basil leaves that can be found in Delta One.
In July, Delta One customers can also try dishes that aim to define the essence of summer, like handmade artichoke ravioli with panna sauce, roasted cherry tomatoes and Parmesan.
Meanwhile, Delta’s onboard wine program refreshes every three months in an effort to offer customers both comfort classics and introduce them to new, more adventurous wines. Earlier this year, Delta introduced a partnership with Taittinger to bring more luxurious beverage options to Delta One customers. This season’s wine program includes five varietals each in both domestic and international Delta One. “The wonderful thing about travel is that we experience new places, cultures and culinary explorations,” said Andrea Robinson, Master Sommelier and Delta Wine Consultant. “Delta does a great job bringing that ethos onboard with their wine program highlighting both classic regions as well as up-and-comers.”
