Beginning July 2, Delta Air Lines‘ domestic First Class and Delta Comfort+ customers will begin to see complimentary beer and wine on all flights greater than 500 miles as Delta begins reintroducing adult beverage offerings after recent service adjustmentsย made in March.

Delta teams listened to feedback from customers and consulted with health professionals before bringing single-serve red and white wine, as well as Heineken, Miller Lite, SweetWater 420 and SweetWater IPAย  back on-board.

โ€œIn keeping with theย Deltaย CareStandard, our goal is to serve all of our food and beverage offerings in the safest way possible โ€“ both for our customers and employees,โ€ said Allison Ausband, Deltaโ€™s Senior Vice Presidentย ofย In-Flight Service. โ€œWe take pride in always listening to our customers, andย weย know beer and wine are the adult beverages our customers want most.ย These selectionsย are the first stepย towardsย a normalizedย beverageย offeringย whileย we continue to keep customer and crew safety at the center of everything we do.โ€

Flight attendants will pass the cans and single-serve bottles โ€“ which are complimentary in both First Class and Delta Comfort+ โ€“ using serving trays to minimize touch points on-board.ย Since beer and wine selections have fewer touch points than other adult beverage options and are individually contained, they are the first to be reintroduced on-board as Delta brings back food and beverage options.

Deltaโ€™s on-board food and beverages continue to evolve based on customer feedback and guidance from health professionals. Complimentary beer, wine and cocktails remain available to all cabins on long-haul international routes, including top-shelf liquor and sommelier-selected wines for customers seated in Delta One. On-board service adjustments like individualย snack bagsย on domestic flights and otherย U.S. domesticย offerings remain in place.

*Alcoholic beverages are available for customers 21+.ย Beerย and wineย selection subject to changeย and availability.
