Pick Your Plate: Delta Expands Popular Pre-Select Program on International Routes   

​Delta One customers flying from the U.S. to Europe will be able to choose their meal in advance, starting June 1, 2018. The move comes following strong customer feedback about pre-select meals on test routes from Atlanta and New York-JFK to Europe, and is part of the airline's focus on personalizing the onboard experience.

Select routes departing from Atlanta, Detroit and Los Angeles bound for Asia and Australia will also be included in the expansion that gives customers the peace of mind that their first meal choice is available on board.

"We want to make dining at 30,000 feet feel like dining at a favorite restaurant," said Lisa Bauer, Delta's Vice President – On-Board Services. "Giving customers the ability to choose their meal in advance is a big part of that. It speeds up the process for our flight attendants too, giving them more time to spend with customers."

To participate in pre-select, customers must have a valid SkyMiles account listed in their flight booking. Customers who are not already enrolled in the SkyMiles program can sign up for free at delta.com/enroll.

Eligible customers will receive an email communication three days prior to their flight asking them to choose an option from Delta's latest seasonal, regionally-influenced menu. On select routes, Delta One customers will enjoy chef-curated meals from James Beard honoree Linton Hopkins out of Atlanta, select chefs from Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group out of New York, and chef duo Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo out of L.A. Meal offerings will be complemented by a selection of seasonal wines curated by Delta's Master Sommelier, Andrea Robinson.
