What do you think of Delta One Suites? Would you fly it? And what do you think of Delta’s food policy? Should they serve food on a flight at this time? 🤔 let me know!
Wow, I flew Delta One from ATL-SAN on their B767-400ER and they offered a hot sandwich at least. Time of day should not matter, especially if they're charging full amount for it. Vodka cranberry is delightful. :)
Pre-9/11, airlines were great. Food was restaurant quality in first. They had ice cream sundaes that were awesome. Metal utensils and plenty of drinks. After 9/11, 1st class became what coach used to be. I have happy faded memories of when life was better.
I had a big dinner in ATL a few months ago, then got upgraded to first at the last minute, thinking oh crap I’m gonna get a full meal and I was more than full. Didn’t bother me too much only getting a bag of chips 😂😅
I flew this atl to lax with my wife and toddler. It was great having the space with a toddler, and the closing door was great for this too. It also gave my wife the privacy she needed to breastfeed. But the no meal seemed insane
Thank you Paul for another great video 👍 Watching with my son & so disappointed not to see a decent meal service! Hope you enjoyed your sandwich 😬! Looking forward to the next trip report. # Trophy no2 of 4 in the bag yesterday then 😉 🏆 🏆
As always, great video! Nice Simpsons shout out at 11:52👍 I've now flown Delta, multiple classes multiple times, from LAX to the east coast and they have very quickly become my favorite airlines. The crews are particularly friendly and the frequent flyer program is really good. And the time I got a Delta One suite, yeah, wow, they're great. I agree the door is kind of just a novelty but for me, psychologically, it totally worked. I didn't know about the no real food after 9 pm! That's good to know and also surprising 'cause Delta on board meals are actually pretty good. Love your choice of semi-depressing Hudson News sandwich - that's my go-to as well! Always bring my own mayo packets in case I'm faced with the dry sandwich blues.
Yeah I wish I’d brought some stolen sauce sachets from McDonald’s or somewhere now 😂 you’ll be pleased to know that nearly all my cultural expectations around the US come either from Home Alone or the Simpsons 😃
I agree the door is a big gimmicky for the odd seats, but for the even seat numbers less so. I was fortunate enough to get upgraded to Delta One on a recent flight from Haneda to Atlanta and sat in 6D. Being closer to the isle meant the door added a nice barrier especially when sleeping.
love your channel...I too had to get on the DL A359 ,to fly it, same flight in FEB'22, got eco seat for 700 less than your fare and got same snacks!!!!! and yes US airlines First/business food service needs lots of improvement...
Thank you for sharing the video. I do agree that they should still serve food on your flight regardless the departure time. I did appreciate AS served steak dinner on my 9:45pm SEA-JFK transcon flight, which you can see in my newest video.
For comparison, I’d recommend Paul to try out Air Canada’s or WestJet’s transcontinental wide-body routes, which all come with 3 course meals (served separately instead of single tray), lie flat seats and full bedding and mattress pads, amenity kits and generally more premium service. Similar flight time of 4 hrs from east to west coast. These are two of the best carriers in North America when it comes to domestic premium cabins.
@@Malc180s if you want McDonald’s level service for business class you are welcome to choose UA or Ryan Air. I mean, shame on the likes of Air Canada, Singapore and ANA to bother their top tier customers with 3 course dinners, champagne, inflight snacks, and attentive service. Better to just slap them with a burger and cold sandwich like the American carriers right? I mean, all airlines in the world should look up to Delta when it comes to service standards in first class.
@@Malc180s Different travellers have different preferences (many do prefer the "bother" of restaurant-style service), but I have no doubt that any decent onboard staff would be happy to bring you your entire meal in a single visit (and otherwise leave you alone) if you request it
@@Malc180s Air Canada, Singapore, ANA all have express dining options where you can have everything served on one tray. All you need to do is ask. If you think that’s too much “trouble”, there’s always Spirit and Frontier.
@@Malc180s it’s “fancy” because it’s supposed to be fancy because it’s first class, because people pay 3-5x more for first class. I don’t get your logic.
Love this short clip 3:19 Looks like one of the opening shots of a TV series. Fab. Perhaps you could become a director if you ever get bored of travel vids Paul.
Vodka cranberry is my go to drink! I’ve been ridiculed by friends as it’s not a common one but good to know there are others out there drinking it like yourself Paul!
I will be flying on this type of plane from LAX to ATL this September. I think the food service has improved since the time this video was made. Also, I will be flying much earlier in the day. This was a great view of what I have to look forward to.
Flew DAL Premium Select on a intercontinental long haul flight a few weeks ago. The food offering on intercontinental flights has suffered as well. The same meal as in economy was served which was a bummer considering the reviews I have seen pre pandemic. I agree the cabin is nice and service is great but DAL seriously has cut on food offering so not surprised they just give passengers snacks on a domestic flight in F. Good review!
I drink Vodka, Tonic with a splash of cranberry. As much as I LOVE WestJet 787 business (same super diamond seats) they have vodka tonic but no cranberry. I think I'll get over it though, at least they serve decent meals! The key drawback I find is that Canadian airports have such high taxes, it doubles your cost. I lucked out with a recent YVR-YYZ- LGW return (flying out of LGW tomorrow, it's that recent) on the 787 for about $3,000 CAD while ticket prices have ranged from $4600 CAD to as much as $6800 CAD. Bit it is what it is and I simply cannot bring myself to fly economy anymore, on a flight over 2hrs anyway. Love your vids, keep them coming!
despite everything I think this might be the most positive review Paul has given to the layout on an American flight. So I guess I have my choice for next chance I get to visit a big city
What do you do when you get to the destinations? Do you take flights to destinations you want to explore? Or is it cram in as many flights as you can so you can spent as much time at home?
Wasn't the pre-COVID meal policy even more restrictive than this? I seem to recall a "gap" between lunch and dinner so late-afternoon departures were snack-only as well
My favourite in-flight cocktail is Bloody Mary. No, I don't know either, I never have them on the ground. The door doesn't fully close in case it jams in an emergency.
Great video Paul! I can’t wait to fly the A350-900 hopefully someday in Delta One from Detroit to Seoul (DTW-ICN) however if I was in Delta One in a Domestic “First Class” trip even on the A350 with a fully closing door you’d still only get Delta Domestic First Class food (minimal at best) especially since it’s not a COVID related problem now t really should get better, however I’d always lower my expectations for Domestic First Class travel in the USA! 🇺🇸 Pretty sad however the DL A350 is still pretty incredible both for comfort and dot looks! I’ve never flown in it but I got to see it when I went behind the scenes with Delta at their operations centers and saw all their ops at Detroit Metro (DTW) in my new series INSIDE AIRPORTS going behind the scenes at airports! I hope you’ll please check out that video as I’d really appreciate hearing what you think. Linked here: ruclips.net/video/zVxxjkD9Fd4/видео.htmlsi=MJgflw4XM67zSu0k Thanks and cheers mate 🥂 Caleb’s Aviation! 🎉
At the very least they should serve a light, 1 course meal at that time for what they are charging. Wouldn’t think a full meal service late at night would necessarily happen, but being a ‘First Class’ they should really do so. It’s not exactly a hop at over 4 hours either.
Is it still free food in the lounge? WAs going to say they probably could have grabbed something from the buffet onboard if they allowed? FYI i just paused So still watching,,,
Thanks Paul! This meal thing enrages me. United is the same way. But they do not adhere to their own rules. I find flights from IAH-LAS serve a snack but to DEN they serve a meal. DEN is closer than LAS (BusinessFirst). Your flight was certainly long enough to have warranted a full meal. It's infuriating how the airlines are treating customers in First or Business.
I'm a big fan of Delta, they're my go-to airline for US domestic travel, and I have Gold status with them. For flights in general, they're doing better with "post covid" but still underwhelming. For Delta One... I don't see the value. I wish I could love it but I don't. I flew a Delta One cabin on a domestic First Class route to Hawaii last September and didn't really love the hard product (and didn't get the Delta One soft product due to the route). I won't spend cash for higher than Premium or Comfort+ on international travel, and Skymiles are worthless outside of domestic travel, so Delta One ends up being pointless or even disappointing compared to my other options (Chase and Amex transfers). EDIT: added that I wouldn't pay above Premium or Comfort+ **for international travel** - I pay for First on domestic flights pretty often.
I agree with Delta miles being worthless, and their onboard Delta One service has been underwhelming, and now the restricted SkyClub access. Being a Diamond member you don't even have a real priority phone line, so I just don't see the "premium" aspect Delta is branding itself to be.
@@guinessbeerwith gold you almost will never get an upgrade. Even with platinum it's a long shot in my experience, and I have yet to get an upgrade on Delta as a diamond
@@guinessbeer Depends entirely on the route. If you're flexible, you can check the seat maps of flights to see how full or empty the upgrade classes on those flights are and book the flights that are most empty - it's a higher chance of getting upgraded.
Many years ago I flew United 1st class from San Francisco to Boston. Was an overnight flight so….no food. Luckily I had some sourdough from boudin’s and my brother in law was one of the flight attendants so he took it and made me a sweet sandwich. Also had my full choice of wine. Not right to not get food on a first class flight.
The policy on food is ridiculous, given the extremely high prices. Also, US lounges are a joke. Time for US airlines in general to raise the standards in all classes but particularly in priority seats. When you consider what they call first product is business in other countries, it’s even worse!
Unfortunately the US airline market is destroyed by consolidation and too close a relationship with frequent flyer programs and credit cards. It’s really a unique market, and I’m not dunking on US carriers - as an actual method of transport sewing together a hyper diverse, massive country, the airlines do a good job on schedule and connectivity.
@@bloc0102 what sucks is if you buy a first class domestic ticket, you don't even get access to the lounges. Only people who have certain credit cards, or who is flying international. Which surprised me. We bought our first class tickets for our trip a few years ago, the first time we bought 1st class domestic tickets, and was shocked that that doesn't even get you access to ANY of the lounges. Which is nuts. But a credit card with a high annual fee will. This year will be our 2nd time we purchased 1st class domestic tickets. Back in the day, lounges were for people in the 1st class section. Or they used to be from what I found out. It's so weird how this all works. We will never see a lounge. Lol
Great vlog, yet it would not be next time if you fly Delta One Suites (without dinner) ever again. It is as if Delta is testing what they can get away with.
Paul another great vlog ! Paul u should have gone to E terminal and eaten at one flew south … much better than a samich Window seats with seat closer to window are best Vodka especially polish vodka is always drunk straight
As a somewhat-larger traveller (6'4 / 350#), I will say that there are two problems with Delta One. The first is the need to get an extender lap-bett. The second is that the seat is frankly just too narrow. Too much space is wasted on the rest of the suite, that you're probably just as well served grabbing a Comfort+ Seast.
If you are ever in a canadian airport and need to grab something to eat, always look for the Tim Hortons. that's the only place where the price are not too boosted compared to outside the airport
Not sure if they go with a 1900 rule of exemption for hot food is used? But a snack bar and chips? Dirty aircraft on basically a coast to coast inexcusable. Great upload as I’m looking to use this flight to LAX in July .
I’ve always been curious about Delta’s premium service on this route, so thanks for doing this! I wonder if we’ll see things change as we move out of the pandemic, and this is a great look at the current state of the product. Thanks again
Wow first class and transcontinental and no meal service‽ And I don't know Paul's preferences, but that sorta expensive sandwich bought in the airport didn't very nice either. Really roughing it.
Love flying when there is thunder and lightning. I once flew LAX-EWR on July 4, and watched fireworks all across the country from a new vantage point! Great fun!
No meal…. Insane. I think at least basic Wi-Fi should be included too. The overall experience looked great, though. I wonder how this compares to European domestic first class, or whatever they call it? I have read that their first class is identical to economy except that the middle seat is blocked. And the seat pitch is a horrifying 30 inches or less. At 6’2”, that is out of the question. I’ll take Delta’s product over that, meal or not!
What do you think of Delta One Suites? Would you fly it? And what do you think of Delta’s food policy? Should they serve food on a flight at this time? 🤔 let me know!
Do you have any series on best way to maximise ticket useage to get better seats for non-frequent flyers?
No. Not for me. For these prices I expect a very good meal
They do serve a meal between Detroit and some Florida locations
On a flight of two hrs or more they should be serving more than a “ snack “
No food policy is simply pathetic, and a very good reason NOT to fly Delta.
They should have at least served some kind of fruit/cheese plate or even better, warm cookies for a flight after 9PM.
Wow, I flew Delta One from ATL-SAN on their B767-400ER and they offered a hot sandwich at least. Time of day should not matter, especially if they're charging full amount for it. Vodka cranberry is delightful. :)
No meal on a 4hour plus flight in first is a disgrace, frankly. I also think it’s wrong that WiFi isn’t free in business / 1st
I'd love to see you and Noel Phillips do a crazy challenge together, would be so good to see!
Pre-9/11, airlines were great. Food was restaurant quality in first. They had ice cream sundaes that were awesome. Metal utensils and plenty of drinks. After 9/11, 1st class became what coach used to be. I have happy faded memories of when life was better.

What do you do when you get to the destinations? Do you take flights to destinations you want to explore? Or is it cram in as many flights as you can so you can spent as much time at home?
Delta had that "no meals after 9pm" domestic rule pre-COVID too. As a Platinum Medallion, there's a reason why I only buy economy 😅
Yeah once I hit platinum the first class upgrades really started rolling in!

😊
Why do you always touch the outside frame of the plane when you enter?
Really looking forward to this one, hope it's good! Love the channel

Ahh, good old vodka cranberry! My new go to as well. Especially after the last flight where I was given a glass, the can of juice, and two vodkas!
Had a few vodka cranberry in business class flying at night from Pittsburgh - London 👌
Next time you fly into LAX at night, ya gotta sit on the left side of the aircraft. City lights are much more spectacular.
For me, I'm not buying an expensive seat for the meal. And Atlanta has spectacular restaurants for an airport.

No backlit feature display on the front bulkhead is a major disappointment. It makes Polaris cabin feel more bespoke and complete.
Great vlog, yet it would not be next time if you fly Delta One Suites (without dinner) ever again. It is as if Delta is testing what they can get away with.
United would've served you a hot meal on a 2 hour flight and no masks. From a Brit that lives in the US!
Curious. Did they sell this ticket as “First Class” or “Delta One?”
First Class. Delta One is only sold on the premium transcons domestically.
Paul another great vlog !
Paul u should have gone to E terminal and eaten at one flew south … much better than a samich
Window seats with seat closer to window are best
Vodka especially polish vodka is always drunk straight
Love watching all you videos Paul, I’m living vicariously through your traveling 😊 🌸
As a somewhat-larger traveller (6'4 / 350#), I will say that there are two problems with Delta One. The first is the need to get an extender lap-bett. The second is that the seat is frankly just too narrow. Too much space is wasted on the rest of the suite, that you're probably just as well served grabbing a Comfort+ Seast.
My younger friends say it is easier to sleep on the A-350!
Add a splash of OJ ( Seabreeze) or pineapple juice ( Baybreeze ) if it's a little too tart with just cranberry juice
Yep anything with vodka please. I drink it by the gallon. 🍸
Cheaper than buying fuel for the car 🤣🤣😬
Always love your reviews. Keep it up!!
Thank you so much! Lots more to come!
Did you deliberately choose your gilet to match the seat there Paul?
If you are ever in a canadian airport and need to grab something to eat, always look for the Tim Hortons. that's the only place where the price are not too boosted compared to outside the airport
I love a vodka cranberry. Lucky you knew there would be no dinner.
Not getting fed while paying that much makes it a deal breaker if I was to fly with them.
You can thank the flight attendants union for that, they on their 4th or 5th leg of the day and dont want the poor darlings overworked!
I noticed that there was no arm rest on your right beside the outside wall. I would find that uncomfortable.
Nice Video.
I hate the Penny pinching...
why didn't you pick a FREE sandwich in the delta lounge ?
It’s a lot of money for a flight without food - interesting that there is a full drinks provision 😅 not sure I would pay that much for a sandwich 😲😲
Today we are flying Atlanta A350
Why did you buy a sandwich, right before you went to the lounge?
To eat on the plane, as you saw.
I was confused too. All-you-can-eat sandwiches in the lounge to take on the flight and he could have wrapped a few up to go...
Air travel has truly lost its lack luster.
Rail travel is where its at.
Not sure if they go with a 1900 rule of exemption for hot food is used? But a snack bar and chips? Dirty aircraft on basically a coast to coast inexcusable. Great upload as I’m looking to use this flight to LAX in July .
Hope you enjoyed Atlanta!! Great review
Nice vid!
I’ve always been curious about Delta’s premium service on this route, so thanks for doing this! I wonder if we’ll see things change as we move out of the pandemic, and this is a great look at the current state of the product.
Thanks again
Wow first class and transcontinental and no meal service‽ And I don't know Paul's preferences, but that sorta expensive sandwich bought in the airport didn't very nice either. Really roughing it.
Vodka and cranberry, a good all around cocktail !!!
FA cup final, Eurovision and a trip on an A350 from Atlanta to Los Angeles... Saturday night hasn't been so good!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂🌸🥂
10:33 you clearly took the wrong airline "DEAL"ta'in another part of the terminal
love it! another great review by Paul Lucas!!!
I think its a bit rich for a 4 hour flight in first class that you do not get a meal on a US domestic flight , another great review Paul
Love flying when there is thunder and lightning. I once flew LAX-EWR on July 4, and watched fireworks all across the country from a new vantage point! Great fun!
Paul was super excited to hop on this plane. Cheers mate.
I'm always underwhelmed by US carriers. Lack of competition has bred complacency in them.
You think $911 for the flight is a lot??? Especially on Delta One??? I just paid a little over $2,000 Main Cabin for a flight from Atlanta to S.Korea
No meal…. Insane. I think at least basic Wi-Fi should be included too. The overall experience looked great, though. I wonder how this compares to European domestic first class, or whatever they call it? I have read that their first class is identical to economy except that the middle seat is blocked. And the seat pitch is a horrifying 30 inches or less. At 6’2”, that is out of the question. I’ll take Delta’s product over that, meal or not!
Imagine paying $900 and not even getting something substantial to eat. What a shocking policy, and complete rip off.
No food?? Omg.
