This morning I flew Delta Air Lines from Atlanta to New York LaGuardia. Delta’s meal windows would not normally allow for breakfast on such a short flight, but New York is a competitive market, so breakfast was served. The aircraft was a 737-700 and the choices were both cold. One being some kind of cereal/granola something, and the other being smoked salmon. Since I love smoked salmon, I went with that.
In addition to smoked salmon, the meal included a tasty toasted bagel, cream cheese (not from the little Kraft plastic tub), capers & onions, yogurt, and delicious fruit. The salmon was fresh and very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of this breakfast. Frankly, if it were offered as a choice along with the always reliable Delta First Class omelet, I might have to seriously consider the smoked salmon!!
This was a light and mostly healthy way to start a long day of traveling. What’s your favorite Delta First Class breakfast?

[…] Delta award ticket. The Delta flight was fine, and on time. I covered the yummy breakfast served on that flight in an earlier post. I took a car service to JFK, and with no traffic on a Saturday, I was standing […]

Thanks for posting those meal windows. Good info. However, in looking at my SkyMiles account this morning, it seems that ATL-LGA comes in at 761 miles. At least that’s what I was awarded before the Platinum Medallion 100% bonus.
Fun fact of the day: the 73W only flies ATL-LGA once a week, on Saturday morning, in order to position the aircraft for LGA-EYW. Glad you had an enjoyable flight.
@Disco,
Ha. I picked up on that in my last few FlightAware checks. 🙂 I’m an #AvGeek…. ugh. I’d forgotten there was a LGA-EYW flight. Now I want to get back to Key West!!!!

I had a First Class Breakfast on a DTW-IAH Regional Jet on Monday. Cold cereal and fruit. Or nothing. Those were the choices.
Bagel & lox
I do believe that is the proper name, Bill. 🙂
