The last time I flew Y transatlantic with DL it was chicken or pasta. I don't like pasta so asked for chicken which was ... pasta with a few lumps of chicken. Take some sandwiches when flying with American carriers.
The staff were better than some other US carriers though.
Check who is operating the flight though now that DL own 49% of VS and that its not a codeshare.
I saved 40% of the lowest quoted non-stop fare last time I flew LHR - JFK by flying KLM via AMS. Took longer but good service, I can chose my seat free free in advance, and I still got DL frequent flyer points.
