That means that cocktails, imported and craft beer, liquor and wine are now priced at $9 a glass for economy-class passengers on domestic flights. The price of a domestic beer increases to $8 and sparkling wine remains unchanged at $9.

As of early 2026, Delta Air Lines offers a mix of complimentary and paid beverages. For non-alcoholic drinks like Coca-Cola products, juices, Starbucks coffee, and tea, there is no charge in any cabin. For alcoholic beverages, the price depends on your seat. In Delta One, First Class, and Premium Select, all alcohol is complimentary. In Delta Comfort+, beer, wine, and spirits are also free. However, in the Main Cabin (Economy) on domestic flights, you should expect to pay roughly $8.00 to $9.00 for a beer and $10.00 to $12.00 for premium spirits or wine. Prices can fluctuate slightly based on the specific brand—for instance, a standard domestic beer might be $9 while a craft IPA or a premium sparkling wine could be $12. On long-haul international flights, Delta typically provides complimentary beer, wine, and spirits even in the Main Cabin. It is important to note that Delta is a "cashless" airline, so you must pay with a credit/debit card or via contactless payment like Apple Pay.
