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:

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+.

I booked a flight from LAS-ATL next Tues, all I want is a window seat. It looks like when you look to book a new flight, there's 30+ preferred available, is three a good chance to get one 24 hour before? Or I can get an economy comfort now.

but which is better

Do people prefer Exit Row seating or EC on domestic flights? Flying back and forth from ATL-SEA a bunch and can't decide which I like more. My biggest concern is leg space and underseat storage. I don't recline on flights (but always get 2nd row exit).

EC on the 75E is ONLY on the left side of the plane. row 2-3 of EC seem to be the best that I've flown. The "bulkhead"/exit row EC seats on the left are good, except for the window seat. The aisle seat has about 10 feet of leg room.

Row 17 on Refurbished 767-300 (76T)

I am wondering if bulkhead row 17 on refurbished 767-300 (76T) still has masses of legroom. I'd appreciate definitive information on this as I am debating between row 17 and exit row 21 currently. Thanks in advance and yes I did search.

AFAIK, row 17 still has great legroom. I know I saw a comment about it at some point.

EC on sale from LGA

It appears that DL is pushing EC for certain markets. Got this email this morning - the prices are lower than usual for the destinations in this table.

Dear gooselee,

More comfort is on sale.

Enjoy Economy ComfortTM for as little as $9 to or from New York-LaGuardia (LGA) when you reserve your seat by October 4, 2012.

Atlanta, GA (ATL) $19
Ft. Lauderdale, FL (FLL) $29
Denver, CO (DEN) $39

That's a small price for big perks, including priority boarding, 3-4 additional inches of legroom and a seat in the first few rows of the Economy Class cabin.

<snip to fine print>

Offer: Quoted Economy Comfort prices are valid for purchase from September 14, 2012 through October 4, 2012 only on nonstop flights to/from LGA for all future travel. The Economy Comfort seat must be purchased by October 4, 2012.
