Hi fellow FTers!
I'm working on updated for the new roll out of Comfort + (C+)
Thanks!
rwoman

************************************************** ***********
************************************************** ***********
On March 1, 2015, DL rebranded Economy Comfort as "Comfort+."
Delta - Comfort+
dl.com: LINK
Comfort+ FAQ - LINK
Offering:
  • C+ is a complimentary upgrade (space available) for DM and PM after booking. GM can access for free at T-72 and FO at T-24. (There is no longer a discount for GM/FO.)
  • Sky Priority boarding
  • Extra legroom and, on international a/c, extra recline
  • Free wine, spirits and regional craft beers, plus premium snacks
  • Complimentary premium entertainment from Delta Studio™ (No longer relevant as of July 1st; Entertainment now complimentary in Y)
  • On JFK-LAX/SFO flights, a Luvo® sandwich wrap and frozen Greek yogurt bar, pillow, blanket, and sleep kit are included

A few general notes regarding DL C+:
  1. On international a/c, the bulkhead seats often have a significant amount leg room (other than the 764).
  2. The bulkhead and exit row seats are often narrower as the tray table and/or IFE unit are in the arm rests. The arm rests do not move which, coupled with a smaller seat, can be uncomfortable for larger pax.
  3. The first row of regular economy seating after EC IS NOT recommended. The last row of EC has the EC recline and members have reported that there's no extra space between this row and the first row of regular Y.
  4. Selecting C+ Seats - You cannot select or purchase C+ seats until after booking is completed on revenue or award tickets. The UG has to clear as well.
************************************************** ***********
Internationally Configured Aircraft
Per DL, International/transoceanic C+ offers 35" pitch and 6" recline. (LINK)

747-400 / 744 / 74S:
  • dl.com seat map: 747-400
    Rows 22-26 - 42 total C+ seats.
  • Legroom:
    Row 22 ABC/HJK and 24 DEFG are the bulkhead seats. 22C/H are noted as having unlimited legroom and some have noted that people can congregate due to the proximity of the lavatories, which are located directly in front of the first row of C+ on the 744. 22ABC have recently received poor reviews because of the lav and galley - people tend to congregate in this area and it can become stinky. Comments on 22K indicate that pax can access the aisle without disturbing other passengers. Also, the lavatory near 22HJK is blocked for BusinessElite pax, so there tends to be fewer disturbances and become less smelly over the course of a long flight. Also, seats 22B and 22J can be used for bassinets.
    Some might prefer the legroom of row 35/51 on the 744 with less recline and tray in armrest.

777-200LR / 777-200ER / 772
  • dl.com seat maps: 777-200LR / 777-200ER
    Rows 31-34; 36 C+ seats
    NOTE: As DL reduced the number of Business Elite seats on the 777s, rows 29-32 are now the C+ seats.
    The C+/Economy seats on a/c has winged headrests.
  • Legroom:
    Row 29/31 seats are the bulkhead seats and have plenty of leg room. Rows 30-32/32-34 are standard C+ seats with USB and plug power. Row 44 (exit row) has excellent legroom, but no power outlets. The window seat sin this row are narrower because the tray table is in the armrest does not move up. The recline is standard recline.
    IFE:
    These a/c are equipped with IFE at each seat.

A330-200 / A332:
767-400 / 764 / 76D:
  • dl.com seat map: LINK
    C+ is rows 15-18
  • Legroom:
    On the 764, the bulkhead seats (row 15) have less leg room than the 763's; there's probably about 2' or so between the edge of the seat and the wall. The bulkhead seats do not have moveable arm rests and the tray table/IFE monitor are in the arm rests. In my experience, I felt like the A332/333 and 763's had better recline in EC than the 764.
  • IFE:
    These a/c are equipped with IFE at each seat.
    Note: The overhead bins above 16 CDE have emergency equipment in them and cannot be used for stowage of luggage.

Related threads and posts:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta...767-300er.html

C+ and Priority Boarding/Baggage Allowance:
Passengers in C+ get Sky Priority boarding unless their elite status provides a higher boarding zonemu access. There is no additional baggage allowance unless elite status or fare class provide it.

Status Changes:
There have been a couple of questions regarding C+ when a member's status drops down after January 31. Typically, seats will hold unless there is an equipment change. If there's a change, the passenger(s) will most likely be seated in regular economy. There are reports of some success contacting @delta to get reseated in C+.

Doing the same Legs in November. Usually have avoided LAX like the plague, how was the customs re-entry like ? We have been spoiled by the ATL efficiency. Does the snack basket mean u dive in like jet blue and grab a handfull or are u actually handed a basket of sorts ? Thx !

I saw this question several pages back and didn't see an answer. In the wiki it says Y/B/M can reserve EC for free, which is what I always had in the past. It looks this has changed now for C+. I am booked in M class and cannot reserve C+ without paying. Is this correct?
Thx.

I'm on a DL coded KLM operated flight YEG-AMS in Sept. and understand that that thanks to this codeshare I can't pay to move up to EC in advance but what's the experience like close in? Can I pay to UG at T-24 hrs? At the airport at time of check-in?

Not sure if it's changed. Are you traveling in a government ticket by chance?

Delta 767 seating

Hi Flyers...

Can someone tell me it there is a way of checking exactly what model plane I will be flying on when I leave LHR for a flight to new york...

I have done the trip to Florida back in 2003 on a 767 and spent the whole flight with my knees jammed into the back of the seat in front of me and headrest of that seat virtually in my face!!...

I am a really nervous flyer, I hate planes...hate them!! but this trip is for our 25th anniversary and the mrs has always wanted to go to New York..at Christmas time (Great, icey runways to worry about too, along with the condition of the plane and the abilities of the pilot!!! )

I found the plane to be really claustrophobic and cramped, Id like to think I can get out quickly

Many thanks

You can try SeatGuru.com with the airline and flight number; make sure what they have matches Delta's seat map. Of course, Delta can swap planes at the last minute, so until you land you can't be certain.

It will most likely be a 764 (avoid row 15; row 30 has the most leg room) or a 763ER. Both are referenced in the wiki.

It's the 767-400. Delta has flown it for many years with no safety issues I'm aware of.

DL owns a 49% stake in VS.

Yes, the ticket is purchased by the government but it is a straight M fare - no special pricing or codes. The local Delta office (overseas) confirmed that C+ is not longer complimentary or available at booking for B or M class intl tix.

Hi Flyertalkers!

I have booked flights for our vacation in the US - one of our fligthts is DL 2128 on Sept 8. I think that flight is flown by a 75X if I am not mistaken. When I look at the official seat map I can see that row 19-23 is C+, but when I check the seat map of our booking I can select seat 22 E and F as preferred seats (We are both SkyTeam Elite).

Is this a glitch in the system, and if we choose these seats, will we be bumped? Or is this Normal, and we can keep our seats?

It is not important for us to sit in Comfort+ but it is important for us to have a nice view (no over wing) and it would be good to exit aircraft quickly as we have a rather tight connection in DTW.

Thank you for your help!

On one of the updated MD90's with comfort + seats. Comfort + now goes to row 14. DL needs to update seat maps (mine was wrong) as well as the overhead bin labels indicated comfort +.

Why would they do that before they finished the reconfiguration? That'd just lead to issues when passengers who purchased C+ didn't get it

You should get the full snack basket, since the flight is over 900 miles.
