Bon Appétit with Delta Airlines
Delta Air Lines has introduced new signature entrees from celebrity chef Todd English on EATS, the airline’s food for purchase menu, for customers traveling in Coach Class on nearly all flights within the United States of at least 2,000 miles or four hours.Delta’s new menu features five selections from English available for a cost of $4 to $9,
including two breakfast and three lunch/dinner entrees.
“Todd English has a unique and world-class approach to cuisine that is a perfect addition to Delta’s food for purchase menu,” said Joanne Smith, Delta’s senior vice president of In-Flight Service and Global Product Development. “We are committed to providing our customers with a wide variety of choices when they travel with us and we are confident these delicious, new signature dishes offer something to suit every taste.”
"This is a new day for Delta, an airline committed to upgrading its in-flight experience, and I'm proud to be a part of this project. I've designed a menu of entrees that I hope will change customers' ideas of what Coach Class food can be," said Todd English. "These dishes offer a modern twist on popular classics, and I hope that customers will be surprised and impressed with the quality of their in-flight meal."
Delta launched its food for purchase menu in September on nonstop mainline flights between New York-John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport and four West Coast markets – Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle. Today, the food for purchase menu, including English’s signature creations becomes available on almost every mainline flight within the 48 contiguous United States of at least 2,000 miles or four hours. Customers will continue to receive complimentary snacks on all flights of more than 250 miles on Delta and Delta Connection carrier flights.
English joins renowned Chef Michelle Bernstein, Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson and Nightlife Proprietor Rande Gerber in Delta’s effort to create a distinctive and delicious experience for travelers at 30,000 feet. To complement the food for purchase menu, Delta customers can toast to their travels with new creations from Midnight Sky – the signature cocktail program created exclusively for Delta by nightlife proprietor Rande Gerber.
Delta’s signature cocktails are offered on board all domestic and international Delta mainline flights, select Delta Connection carrier flights, and in the airline’s Crown Room Clubs and BusinessElite lounges. This fall, customers can choose from three signature cocktails, personally mixed by Delta flight attendants who have been specially trained by mixologists from the Gerber Group.
Additionally, by mid-2008 Delta customers traveling in both First and Coach Classes on all flights of at least 2,000 miles or four hours will experience comfortable all-leather seating and Delta on Demand at every seat. The airline’s advanced digital entertainment system features a personal seven-inch widescreen monitor; 18 channels of live television; a choice of up to 25 new and popular classic films; 40 hours of premium HBO content; more than 3,000 MP3s; a suite of 12 video games and much more.
