Delta is serving a small-batch pretzel mix, above. And next month, American Airlines will pass out snacks from Lorissa’s Kitchen, a maker of grass-fed beef jerky.

Byrd’s, United’s new cookie supplier, was making 200 million cookies a year before the airline started offering them. Now it bakes 1.9 billion.

Correction: Wednesday night’s briefing misspelled the surname of the star of the original 1978 version of “Halloween” and the new remake. She is Jamie Lee Curtis, not Curtiss.

It also incorrectly characterized the enormousness of Pando, the vast grove of root-connected aspens in Utah. The forest is the world’s most massive organism, not the largest. (That distinction goes to Oregon’s so-called Humongous Fungus, which occupies an area the size of three Central Parks.)
