As airlines boost profits by packing more passengers into smaller spaces, lengthy international trips have become increasingly cramped and miserable.
Delta Air Lines Inc hopes a refreshing drink and a nicer dinner setting will help make up for all that.
Starting from November 5 in the coach class cabin of international trips of more than 6.5 hours, the Atlanta-based carrier will start off each flight offering coach passengers a free peach and refreshments or bottled water, a hot towel for freshening up and an updated menu for on-board meals.
Food will be served on a small platter instead of a traditional tray, with a place mat. Dessert and coffee will be served separately.
