Atlanta.– Delta will offer more designer $7 and $8 meals as part of a plan to try and reap more revenue from added services.

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. said Tuesday it will have its food-for-purchase program (EATS) on all flights within the United States of 750 miles or more starting April 1. The program is also now part of select flights between the United States and beach destinations in the Caribbean and Latin America of 1,550 miles or more.

The new menu features meals designed by noted chef Tood English –a chicken parmesan sandwich for $8, chicken bistro salad for $8 and hummus with veggies for $7.

Delta began the food-for-purchase menu in September 2007 on coast-to-coast mainline flights between New York John F. Kennedy International Airport and Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.

And on May 1, Delta’s EATS menu will feature XXX and Power C flavors of vitaminwater from Glaceau in 20-ounce bottles for $3 each.
