Starting May 19, the carrier will no longer offer in-flight meals, drinks, or snacks on trips under 350 miles. The change is expected to affect about 450 daily flights.

The only exception will be first-class passengers, who will continue to receive full meal and drink service on every connection, regardless of duration.

On the other side of the mileage divide, service is expanding. The airline said Delta Comfort and Delta Main passengers on flights 350 miles or more will receive full beverage and snack service.

“Even on the small number of flights without beverage service, our crew will continue to be visible, available, and focused on caring for our customers, like they do on every flight,” Delta said in a statement.

The carrier’s current cutoff for food and drink service is 250 miles. Flights between 250 and 349 miles have come with “express” service since 2017.
