So the airline is bringing back complimentary meals in 12 markets nationwide after receiving positive feedback from passengers during a test period late last year.

“We are all about making our Main Cabin experience the best it can be for our customers and offering free, high quality meals is a big part of that experience,” said Allison Ausband, Delta’s Senior Vice President of In-Flight Service. “When we tested this concept, our customers loved it and appreciated it so we are implementing in our most strategic markets.’

Here’s what’s on the menu

Morning flights:

  • Honey Maple Breakfast Sandwich
  • Luvo Breakfast Medley
  • Fruit and cheese plate
