SPECIALE MAALTIJDEN

Delta.com - Updated Special Meal descriptions

Delta offers special meals for customers with specific dietary, religious or medical needs.
Customers with special meal requirements can place an order for a special meal up to 24 hours prior to departure by selecting Special Service Request (SSR) on delta.com, or through Delta Reservations or an independent travel agent.

Upon arrival at the departure gate, customers should advise the gate agent they have
pre-ordered a special meal and also confirm with a flight attendant once onboard.

When requesting special meals please note the following exceptions apply:

  • A special meal request for a Delta flight made with another carrier will not be applied to the Delta segment of a reservation. To better ensure that the special meal request is applied to a Delta segment, please call Delta Sales Support or Delta Reservations to  request a special meal
  • When requesting a special meal on a Delta flight, please be sure to select a meal from  Delta’s special meal listing as Delta does not fulfill meals that are not part of the  special meal menu options
