Breakfast on a MD88
(x-posted to YatTravel)
I've flown enough ion Delta Air Lines n the last two years that I get upgraded to first class fairly regularly, and this morning is no exception. This was my second trip in a month to New York City; HDS juggled teaching assignments last week, so I didn't go to Santa Clara as planned.
Delta has resumed non-stop service from New Orleans (MSY) to LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in New York. the MSY-LGA leg deaprts at 5:30pm. The LGA-MSY flight is at 7:30am, so I usually stay over after class is finished rather than have to put up with the hassle of both LaGuardia and ATL in the same evening. I get up around 5:30am, leave the hotel (in midtown Manhattan) around 6am, and am at LGA just about 6:30am.
When I'm fortunate to be upgraded for this leg, that means breakfast on a MD88. This plane, along with the B757 is the backbone of Delta's fleet. There are three and a half rows of front-cabin seats on a MD88, for a total of 14. The galley space isn't very extensive, but they're still able to put on a decent cold breakast.
Breakfast consisted of a bowl of sliced fresh fruit, canteloupe, grapefruit, and pineapple on this flight. Last time there were fresh strawberries. Then there's either a bagel or scone, warmed, but not toasted. When it's a bagel, there's plain Kraft cream cheese and jelly, when a scone, butter and jelly. One flight offered strawberry-flavored yogurt, and the other applesauce. There's also an individual box of cereal, usually Kellogg's Corn Flakes, along with half a pint of white milk and sugar.
Not a bad start to the morning!
