Delta Air Lines is revamping its Delta One premium cabin with wagyu burgers, high-end wines and new luxury amenity kits.
The Atlanta-based airline announced Wednesday that its revamped Delta One experience will begin rolling out on transoceanic flights departing Los Angeles International Airport this fall before expanding across its global network in early 2027.
The overhaul includes a redesigned menu, expanded meal pre-selection, new cocktails and wines and upgraded amenity kits, among other changes.
"Every investment we make is deliberate and designed to deliver the industry’s most premium end-to-end travel experience," Delta Chief Marketing and Product Officer Ranjan Goswami said in a statement.

"This elevated dining and hospitality experience reflects our relentless focus on raising the bar while giving customers greater control throughout their journey," Goswami added.
The new menu includes a Delta One wagyu beef burger, roasted sea bass, braised lamb and beef short rib, along with upgraded desserts.
One new option is a dairy-free sorbet that travelers can opt to pair with Champagne Taittinger.
Delta is also expanding its meal pre-selection options and allowing its passengers to order an entrée up to 18 hours before departure, six hours closer to departure than previously allowed.
Passengers who want more sleep on long-haul flights will have the option to skip the morning meal service and instead request a coffee and croissant before landing.
