It seems the only benefit of flying Delta domestic is the tier points you can rack up for your VS card.
No lounge access for first/business customers (you need status to access) no food on board (during the hours we flew, 3.20pm) and only peanuts and snacks to hand out. I've flown Delta First from ATL to LGA after 5pm and was fed. The flight was delayed due to a ground stop at LGA and then a storm in MIA. They really do offer an appalling service in terms of what I've mentioned. On this flight, only saved by an amazing flight leader. Why on earth there is no meal served when flying at 3pm is beyond me, not even a sandwich - the cost of a ticket is still the same. I will not be choosing Delta First/Business again. On the flip, I took a flight on American from SFO to MIA just days earlier at the same hours and was served lunch. The seats are slightly wider, but nothing to shout about, it made me wonder why on earth we paid for First/Business.
We did however gain access to the lounge because I flashed my VS GC at the desk attendant at the Sky Lounge. Whether he made a mistake or not I've no idea as we had no continuing international journey.
Appalling, never again. Zero brand alliance as far as I am concerned.
