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+.

In my experience, you can have multiple adult beverages. Depends largely on the FA and whether or not they have time to come around again.

Last week, I used the call button to request a 2nd and it was promptly and cheerfully served.

I was connecting in DTW on a short leg on my way to a bachelor party. The FAs served me three times and joked with me about giving it the "old college try"

I usually order 2 when they first come through....knowing that on most short hops they may not have time to make a second pass.
Never had an FA bat and eye.

Hopefully I'm not accused of gluttony and the flamers come out....

Is DL Comfort + bookable w/KE miles?

I'm guessing it's not possible (only lowest level f/c or econ. seats?) but couldn't find answer. This would be SEA>KOA.

TIA

Am I right that each leg of a trip is priced separately for Comfort Plus? I'm on a cheap fare through Viking Cruises, but I do have seat assignments and I don't think it's a Basic Economy fare. But I can't find any way to buy Comfort Plus on a ticket booked/reserved but not issued. (I had the same problem trying to purchase Priority Boarding.)

Should I just call Delta, I suppose?

Which credit card, if any, includes Comfort Plus?

I'd call DL. Since you're booking thru Viking your card isn't going to get you C+.
It may be impossible to get C+ in your situation. You have r/t ticket I assume? DL can tell you if it's possible for buy-up to C+.

I suspect you're right. I was looking at the mobile app. It has a button for Trip Extras but says none are available. Strangely, nothing worked on the website for me, it didn't return a no, just didn't work at all.

I recently booked 10D,F,G,H,J for a roundtrip flight from MSP-HNL on an Airbus A330. How are these seats for kids? I'll be flying with my 10, 7 and 4 year old.

Does anyone have a pic of the PTVs in Row 10? I clicked on a link in a different thread but the pics were no longer available.

My wife and I are flying ATL-LHR on what looks like the 76L. I'm looking to buy Comfort+ seats. I wasn't sure which ones to take. Row 18 is not available on the two seat sides. Pretty much anything else is open. Is the screen on the bulkhead in row 17 good and is the legroom better? How is the recline in row 19? Are the complaints about the lack of seat padding in rows 20&21 valid along with it being cooler? Just curious as to which row people recommend.

My wife and I took 17A/B on SCL-ATL and it was a great amount of leg room. The screens are larger on 767-300 than -400 or 777. They are on the bulkhead wall. Recline was good, too. Highly recommended!

Dinner was a cold chicken salad which they often run out of so being in 17 helps with that.

Looking for some advice from the experts.

DL 1219 LAX/OGG. Main cabin is $466.20, and Comfort+ is $545.20.

Can I buy main cabin and then upgrade to C+ after purchase using $ or miles? If yes, is the upgrade fee equal to the price difference? I was hoping to use a specific credit card for reimbursement of the upgrade fee.

Also the description on the website says C+ includes beer, wine and snacks? Is this correct?

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this! I've been looking for a photo of these seats. Are the controls for the tv's in the screen or on the armrest?

They are on screen - nice, big, new IFE screen like on the 747-400 and some of the narrowbodies. The screen is a bit of a reach, though. It is NOT part of the armrest, which was a surprise.
