39august Posted April 28, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I understand that no snacks or drinks were served when the US was shut down last year because of Covid. How is this being handled now, please/ Is service back when paying for these tickets? I am most interested in AA and Delta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 28, 2021 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Sorry, can't specifically speak for Delta and AA, but generally, on United and I think the others, unless you are on a very short flight, you will get, at minimum, some snack items and a limited drink choice. The longer the flights, the more food you get. Not to pre-Covid standards for sure, but you won't starve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabear Posted April 28, 2021 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2021 On aAA 3 hour flight, I was handed a sandwich & drink when I boarded. I had to ask for a drink during the flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post-Covid, please, let's not re-visit the past like that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNKY Posted April 30, 2021 #5 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The Points Guy has an update at In-flight service is back Basically for longer flights meals are served on one tray all at one time. No more courses. Alcohol is back too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information. For the time being, I can accept that type of service. However, if I am on an international Business Class flight, I would appreciate the course by course serving to resume. I have never experienced such service on any domestic First Class flight. (And, don't expect too, either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishgal432 Posted May 22, 2021 #8 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Just got back for a Salt Lake to Atl and no pre take off beverages, and a snack box of prepackaged snacks. Once take off we had drink service. No blankets or pillows distributed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted May 23, 2021 #9 Share Posted May 23, 2021 United is returning to pre-Covid full meal service June 15. I imagine Delta and AA will resume as well, if they haven't already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the reasoning behind no pre-take off beverages, but I hope there was a small water bottle at one's seat. No blankets or pillows? Good! There will be those who disagree with me, but I have 99% of the time found that they "get in my way" and I end up trying to stuff the blanket, particularly, into the seat back pocket in front of me.

Delta 767 No water on the seat either. Just the headphones, I guess you can ask for one, but I think they are all stored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the beverage service individual bottles of liquor, pours from real wine bottles, or just canned cocktails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were mixed when they gave them to us, my husband had a glass of wine that was more than a bottle and the lady next to us requested a bottle for later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! That sounds like an improvement in service from what I had read a few weeks ago. I really like Delta's 767's. Always try to get a First Class seat along the aisle away from the entry door's aisle. When pre-departure beverage service was available, I was served more quickly by my FA.
