The first part of the updated service will be introduced in September.

Several of the new entree options were highlighted by Delta.

• Braised beef short rib with fingerling potatoes and Dijon green peppercorn jus.
• Impossible Meatballs with polenta, pomodorini sauce and broccolini.
• Honey harissa chicken thighs with jollof rice and stewed greens.

The meals will be served on bagasse plates. The food will be accompanied by glassware and linens.

The new bubbles and bites course will include sparkling wine, water and an amuse-bouche.

The new kits will be created by Someone Somewhere, the same company that created the Delta One kits.

One of the designs will be pink to honor Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Each kit contains the story of the artisan who made the pouch. Lip balm, eye masks, dental kits and other travel essentials can be found inside.

Premium amenities will be available on all long-haul Premium Select flights.

We will have to wait to see the new meals and upgraded amenities on a future trip, but it is good to see Delta investing in the premium economy experience.

In order to offer an intermediate product between lie-flat business class and standard economy, the airline has been retrofitting its long haul fleet with Premium Select cabins.

Delta is poised to become one of the best airlines in the country because of its premium economy service.

Frequent flyers who have traveled with Delta will be excited about the move.

The onboard service in Premium Select was scaled back for a large part of the Pandemic. The meal offerings were the same for both cabins.

The carrier is increasing the cabin's footprint on more and more routes.

Premium Select will be included in most flights to Europe, including Amsterdam and London. Premium Select flights will be operated by Delta this winter. Premium economy will be offered on all transpacific routes.

Premium Select flyers will enjoy larger recliners that look like those in domestic first class, as well as additional bells and whistles, such as a leg rest and footrest.

Each seat has a personal entertainment monitor, as well as an oversize tray table.

According to Mauricio Parise, vice president of brand experience, Delta Premium Select gives customers the opportunity to treat themselves to a more spacious seat and premium experience at a lower price point compared to our Delta One cabin.
