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+.

75H "bulkhead"

Flew MSP-SFO on a 75H and had myself and family in row 15, which is the first row of C+. No physical bulkhead, so you can put bags and your feet under the F seats in front of you. Plus you get the large F seatback pockets to use. Monitors fold up and tray tables are in arm rest. Lots of legroom, maybe even as much as in F.

Asked for and received double bourbon during drink service, plus asked for and received another (single) bourbon later in the flight. Got our choices of snacks out of the basket. Overall, really enjoyed the flight and was happy to have paid an extra 2.5K miles (was on an award) for C+.

Flight from EWR to FCO on Nov. 17th. Currently booked in 16FG EC and 13 is avaiable.
767-300 so is row 13 a better seat? I used t be pretty good at figuring this out but what advantage does 13 have over 16.
I'm assuming the monitor is in the arm rest so they wont go up and seats in 13 will be a bit smaller. Also, since this is an exit will it be colder?
Thanks

Delta Newbie flying on DL 468 to TLV in a few weeks. Other than the extra legroom, are there any service differences between Coach and C+ on international flights? (Free alcohol, upgraded snacks, etc)

There aren't really any service differences anymore. Alcohol is free for everyone now. The snacks and meals are the same although you'll probably be served first and have a better chance of getting your first choice meal. You get priority boarding in C+, but I've never had an issue finding space for a carry-on on an international flight since most people check luggage, and I prefer to board late if flying coach (or C+). The C+ seats do theoretically have more recline than regular Y seats in addition to the legroom which isn't the case on domestic birds.

Thanks. Ordered a special meal and I'll have priority boarding from my recently matched DL PM, so I guess it's just the legroom. Only middles available in C+ now for the flight I'm on, so I guess I'll just stay in coach. Haven't done longhaul Y in a while, so a bit nervous.

I find that the extra recline makes a big difference in my ability to sleep on a long-haul flight.

Agreed. The little bit of extra leg room and the extra bit of recline make sleep a more realistic option than regular economy, at least for me. Certainly not anything like a flat-bed, but if I can get 3 or 4 hours of sleep, I consider that a win..that's enough to let me get out and start vacation when I land rather than being dead tired and grouchy..

Any updates on this? Also, do you lose a hard power port in Row 13?

Hi

I am flying JFK-CLT on Jan 2, wide open seat map of course, besides my favorite 5C/5D!

I am flying with my wife. Would you recommend 5A/5B over 6C/6D?

5B is in the aisle and offset compared to the 1-2 F class... how bad is it? Do I really risk to get bumped into all the time ?

It's a 2:25h flight so I would have expect once the cart is done I would be fine.. ?

It's in the morning, I don't think I will sleep at that time.

Thanks !

Two problems: Boarding, and the cart during the start of beverage service. Other than that, should be no problem the rest of the flight.

Flying red eye SEA-JFK on 757-200 classified as 75S which 44 Comfort+ seats. I can 't find any info on the 75S in the Wiki. So i'm looking for help.
Could we add info on 75S to Wiki page?

Looking for window seat to accommodate sleeping. Currently in 19A as 19F is taken. Is the exit door a real nuisance in these seats? how about legroom?
Would I be better off in a regular Comfort+ window seat?

thanks

Personally, I don't like 19A. The exit door does protrude into your space and I find it can be really cold sitting right next to the exit door. FWIW I would choose another window seat. I think row 35 has the best Y seats on the plane. It's not C+ but 35F would be awesome if you want to sleep.

There is info on the 75S on the Wiki, but since it is a D1 configured aircraft, you may not have seen it in the domestic section. It's labeled as "757-200 (Delta One Equipped) - 75S."

I agree with lbcnu, 19 A and F can get very cold and the exit door tends to mess with your legroom. It's not horrible, but like you said, a "nuisance."

As far as the other C+ seats go, most of the other A and F seats are good. If you're looking for a window view, rows 21 and 22 have very misaligned (missing ever other) windows. I have been good in 20A (still chilly on a TATL winter flight) and 23F, but I've never needed more than a normal C+ seat's legroom.
