Delta Elevates In-Flight Dining Experience with Chef-Curated Menus and Refreshed Beverage Selections

Delta Airlines is redefining in-flight dining in 2024, introducing an array of new culinary delights and beverage options to enhance the onboard experience for its passengers. With a focus on seasonal inspiration and international flavors, Delta's latest menu refresh features contributions from acclaimed chefs and the return of customer favorites, ensuring a diverse and enticing selection for travelers of all tastes.

The airline has collaborated with renowned chefs Peter Cho and Mashama Bailey to bring a fresh twist to its menu. Cho, a James Beard Award finalist and the creative force behind several celebrated restaurants, is infusing Delta One's offerings with a modern take on Korean cuisine. Passengers flying to Incheon from the U.S. will be treated to dishes such as Korean braised beef short rib and vegetarian bao buns, marrying local ingredients with inventive culinary techniques.

Mashama Bailey, recognized with the James Beard Foundation’s “Outstanding American Chef" award in 2022, brings her signature comforting classics to Delta's First Class customers departing from Atlanta. Her menu includes hearty breakfast options and entrées like beef short ribs and glazed smoked chicken, available for pre-select on flights offering signature meal service.

In addition to these gourmet offerings, Delta welcomes back the popular Tip Top Margaritas, now with an improved recipe that has earned high praise from Wine Enthusiast. This beloved beverage, along with the return of New Belgium Brewing’s Fat Tire Ale and a selection of new wines, such as Ethics Drinks “Tchin" Sparkling Wine and Gambino Sparkling Wine, ensures that passengers have a variety of premium drinks to choose from.

Delta's commitment to elevating its onboard dining experience extends to its Delta Premium Select customers, who will soon enjoy the ability to pre-select meals before their journey. This enhancement is part of several service upgrades aimed at personalizing the passenger experience.

Seasonally sourced and locally inspired menu items will continue to delight First Class customers on select routes, featuring limited-time offerings that cater to both traditional and adventurous palates. With these updates, Delta aims to make its food and beverage service as exciting as the destinations it serves, continually surprising and delighting its frequent flyers.
