Requesting milk for a toddler on an airplane?

[Lulu's Mom]

We are flying a sold out red eye flight from LAS to MCO in a little over a week. Since we are not allowed to bring milk on a plane anymore should I call Delta and have a request for milk for my toddler?? She has a full price paid seat and I am afraid that they will run out.

Thanks

Short answer - they MAY have it onboard, but routes/carriers vary, and there are many variables ie catering cart didn't get restocked, tight turnaroudn may result in cart not being loaded, milk may run out. No guarantees, and I doubt that you can call ahead to 'reserve' milk

Long answer - milk on a plane

Delta Air Lines lists milk as one of the beverages that they usually offer.

For details, see: https://www.delta.com/traveling_checkin/inflight_services/food/index.jsp

There are sometimes catering glitches on any airline. But Delta should have milk on your flight.

I read a hint a few days ago, suggesting that parents bring powdered milk (in sealed packages) board, just in case there is no milk on board.

What they are supposed to have and have can be 2 different things, I wouldn't count on milk. Do they like apple juice that is usually more available.
