A frequent flyer has showcased the ‘gag’-worthy food she received while sitting in first class on a Delta flight.
The unnamed passenger took to Reddit to share a snap of the ‘first class food felony’ in a thread simply titled Delta.
The meal, which was made up of a hard boiled egg, chunks of cheese and slices of turkey, was advertised as a ‘charcuterie board’ by the airline.
The passenger revealed she was given the meal while on a domestic flight from New York’s JFK to California’s LAX airport.
Upon seeing the photo of the ‘absolutely atrocious meal,’ people on the web flooded the comments section to express their disgust.

The post was titled: ‘First class food felony.’
The passenger explained: ‘Domestic first class JFK to LAX meal disaster today. Told us the oven wasn’t working and only had charcuterie board (as seen above) and a muffin.
‘Delta told me they could give me 5,000 SkyMiles for the inconvenience.’
The flyer then included a snap of the meal in her post.
She revealed that she was given a box that had a hard boiled egg, two slices of turkey and two chunks of cheese in it.
The meal also came with a handful of nuts and dried apricots.
A first class flight from the Big Apple to Hollywood with Delta tends to cost around $1,300.
According to the airline’s website, Delta offers a ‘fine dining experience’ for its first class customers.

People on the web quickly flooded to the comments section and shared their revulsion at seeing the food
Some of the meals listed on the airline’s website that are available to high-paying passengers include feta cheese and pecan side salad with buttermilk ranch dressing, Fox Bros. short ribs with roasted fingerling potatoes, carrots and turnips, and even pumpkin ravioli with brown butter cream sauce.
However, according to the passenger, she was handed a less than appetizing meal because the oven was no longer working.
She was given 5,000 SkyMiles for the issue, which are worth about $50.
People on the web quickly flooded to the comments section and shared their revulsion at seeing the food as one person said: ‘This made me gag.’
Someone else added: ‘Throw it away.’
Another user wrote: ‘Just awful.’
‘Absolutely atrocious,’ commented another user.
The Reddit user has since deleted the post.
