Do you get free drinks on Delta Airlines?

Complimentary beverages are available during beverage service in Delta One®, First Class and Delta Comfort+®. Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase in Main Cabin. Alcohol may only be served to customers over the age of 21.



Delta Air Lines is known for offering a more generous beverage policy than many of its domestic competitors in 2026. On all flights over 250 miles, all passengers in the Main Cabin receive complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, including Coca-Cola products, juices, and Starbucks coffee. For those looking for something stronger, beer, wine, and spirits are complimentary on most long-haul international flights. For domestic flights, alcoholic beverages are free for those seated in Delta Comfort+, First Class, and Delta One. In 2026, Delta has also expanded its selection of premium "craft" canned cocktails and local beers for purchase in the Main Cabin. It is important to note that even if you are on a very short "shuttle" flight (under 250 miles), water is usually available upon request, though the full trolley service may be omitted for safety. Always remember that you must be at least 21 years old to consume alcohol on board, and flight attendants are required by FAA regulations to manage consumption and refuse service to intoxicated passengers.
