If you’re taking a short flight on Delta Air Lines this summer, you won’t be getting food and beverage service.
The airline said it is making changes to its in-flight food and beverage service, including removing the offering from about 450 daily flights, or about 9%.
“Beginning May 19, Delta is adjusting onboard beverage service to create a more consistent experience across our network,” a Delta spokesperson told USA TODAY on Monday, May 4.
The Atlanta-based airline will no longer provide any food or beverage service on flights 349 miles or less, including routes such as Los Angeles to San Francisco. Delta will also offer full food and beverage service for Delta Comfort and Delta Main Cabin passengers on flights of 350 miles or more, which accounts for about 14% of its daily flights.
Delta First customers will continue to receive full service on all flights.
“Even on the small number of flights without beverage service, our crew will remain visible, available and focused on taking care of our customers, as they do on every flight,” the airline said.
Currently, Delta flights of 251 miles or more offer at least one complimentary snack and beverage in all cabins, according to the airline’s website.
The airline joins other major US carriers that do not offer in-flight service on short flights. According to United Airlines, snacks are offered on flights over 300 miles.
Meanwhile, American Airlines does not offer food and beverages on flights less than 250 miles.
