The foodie, who traveled with her partner and service dog, said she started the flight with a glass of orange juice due to a heavy night of drinking the night before. 

After some warm nuts, the keen traveler plunged into the lunch menu. 

She explained that 'everyone gets the same appetizer, but there's three entries to choose from,' with the options being braised beef, herb filled chicken breast or smoked burrata pasta.

Running through the lunch service, she tells viewers in her TikTok: 'The flight attendant came and made the table ready for me for lunch.

'For appetizers, we got a little bit of everything. So the bread with butter, it wasn't that good, but it was not too bad.

'And we also got prawns, potato salad, and a salad. The shrimps and salad, they're okay, but a little bit disappointing actually, cause I was expecting something more.

'But this soup was so good. I think it was like a mushroom soup.'

The content creator says she was most excited for the main course, with her choice being the smoked burrata pasta which came 'smothered in tomato sauce with wild mushrooms, green onions, and Parmesan cheese.'

She gave the dish a big thumbs up, describing the burrata inside the pasta as 'so good and so flavorful.' To finish, she had ice cream with pecans.

Before breakfast time, which was served an hour before landing, there were various snacks on offer including a warm pretzel roll with butter, chips, some cheese, biscuits, and dark chocolate.

@popshen02 plumped for a sandwich filled with zucchini, tomato, and cheese, which she said 'was honestly so good,' and there was some chocolate mousse as dessert.

Summing up her trip with Delta One she said: 'Honestly, it was such a good experience. My flight was 10 hours, but I wish it would have been so much longer so I can enjoy more food and more relaxing time.

'My dog had a great time too. She definitely did not wanna leave, even after we landed.'
