Flying from: LAS to ATL, 12 August 2003
Ticket price: $230 (R/T)
Flight duration: 3:31
Aircraft type & class: B767-400 / Economy
Meal type: Purchased lunch - One Caesar salad and dressing.
Drink: Coke
Comments: Seat 34A - Exit Row
This meal was part of Delta's new program where you can purchase meals in-flight. The menu describes the salad like so:
Southwest Chicken Caesar Salad: Grilled chicken breast, shredded parmesean cheese, chopped lettuce and romaine, garnished with corn black bean relish, croutons and Caesar dressing.
The salad was excellent with the chicken breast having an almost jerked, Carribbean flavor. The Newman's own dressing was excellent. The flight attendants kept asking me how it was. My only gripe was the price. This salad is not worth $8.00 - if it had been a little more than just the salad, the $8.00 would have been fine. These meals were apparently free to Medallion level Delta fliers.

Flying from San Francisco to New York-JFK, 18 May 2003
Flight Duration: 5h01
Aircraft type: Boeing 767-300ER, Business
Meal type: Breakfast - Fruit salad; pancakes with sausage and a banana puree; and cinnamon rolls.
Drink: Coffee and orange juice
Comments: This was a great breakfast and shows that on a very rare occasion one can enjoy a meal on Delta Air Lines. The cinnamon rolls (unfortunately not in the photo) were served warm and soft and were incredibly delicious (plus added a nice aroma to the whole cabin). They went fast and when I asked for seconds there were no more :(. Even the bite sized sausage was good.

Flying from: Cincinnati (CVG) to London Gatwick (LGW), 18 May 2003
Flight duration: 7 hours 15 minutes
Aircraft type & class: 767-300ER, Business Elite
Meal type: Breakfast - Fresh Fruit; Bagel & Cream Cheese; Scrambled Egg Crepe with Asparagus and Red Bell Pepper, with Chicked Apple Sausage and Roasted Potatoes
Drink: Coffee
Comments: Well, it might look good, but I'm sorry to say that almost all of it tasted awful. The bagel was too dry and doughy, the fruit was tasteless, the crepe tasted of nothing at all as did the potatoes. The only redeeming feature was the sausage but the portion was tiny. The service was attentive, but I usually sleep through breakfast - sadly the amount of noise in the cabin from the crew meant that it was not possible to sleep through despite the ear plugs and the noise cancelling headphones. So I inadvertently decided to take the plunge and regretted it. Why do they always start serving breakfast 2 hours before landing? God knows I need all the beauty sleep I can get. Plus they always drop the cabin tempertature to freezing conditions deliberately to wake everyone up. Most annoying. Sorry, Delta, you must do better!
Rating 1-10 (worst-best): 2 for the taste, 7 for the presentation, 8 for the service, 0 for making so much noise that I had no choice but to wake up for breakfast

White - Vigna Sassoline Savignon Blanc
Red - Chateau La Barde Bordeaux
Port - Ferreira Vintage Character
Dessert - Primitivo di Manduria Accademia dei Racemi (red)
Comments: As often happens, the flowery language used to describe the food hides the reality that this is all pre-prepared to a cost. There was nothing here which was especially good, but equally there wasn't anything that was bad either. Regarding the wines, again nothing special except for the Primitivo di Manduria red dessert wine which works well with both cheeses and some desserts. A shame one flight attendant denied there was any on board when there was. Service wasn't anything to write home about. Those seats in Business Elite are starting to become relatively uncomfortable compared to some of the competition over the Atlantic.
