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+.

does anyone know how EC seating works on Delta shuttle? I just purchased a revenue ticket LGA-DCA, and am eligible for free EC as a plat. but the Shuttle is open seating, so I wanted to make sure that I got EC.

I am a little skeptical of this claim since bulkhead seats normally have more space, but I haven't been able to find any confirmation of this on FT yet. Is SeatGuru's claim correct?

Thanks diburning. SeatGuru turned out to be correct. Just sat down in 16D and the legroom is minimal -- less than a standard economy seat. I can't believe Delta considers this to be an "Economy Comfort" seat, or that they actually charge unsuspecting passengers a premium to sit in 16DEF based on a highly misleading seat map. Definitely should not have switched from my previous EC selection of 18D...

I will not be making this mistake again. rwoman, may I suggest adding a note on the 753 in your first post? Would not want other FTers to have the same experience in the future.

Since it wasn't "comfort"able, I'd complain to Delta and see if they can at least give you a refund for the EC fee and/or a voucher for the inconvenience.

Refurb 763 (DL209 SFO NRT Feb 3,13)

EC starts at row #13. The bulkhead row has quite a bit of leg room. IMHO more than 764(Row 15) and about the same as the 777 (Row 31). My personal favourite is still 744 (Row 24, middle section), I can't touch the bulkhead wall even slouched down.

I called in to get the answer to my own question, in case anyone asks in the future. Delta shuttle is open seating, so if you board early, you can sit in the economy comfort seats without any extra payment, regardless of whether you have status. Seems like DL should offer these seats to their medallion passengers and have boarding passes with Y+ available, but that would probably take 10+ years for DL IT to figure out. Oh well, it's just a 35 minutes flight.

See the related threads for the 767-300ER in post #1. Both have good leg room and some do not like row 21's proximity to the lavatories.

As far as IFE, it depends on if you're on an updated 763. 1-2-1 configuration in Business indicates an updated a/s, which has personal TVs. 2-2-2 is the old a/c which has overhead IFE.

Newcomer to the forum, hello everyone.

I am booked ATL-MAN and return at the end of the summer and just went ahead and splashed for EC tickets in both directions. My aircraft is listed as

Airbus Industrie A330-200

and according to the SeatGuru and SeatExpert that seems to be the plane discussed in rwoman's quoted message, above. So I chose 11G eastbound and 11C westbound and wanted to confirm that's the good-legroom seats being mentioned here.

Last year on this same trip I bought EC seats on the aircraft they were using then (767 was it?) and based on some FlyerTalk browsing chose 15G, the bulkhead window seat. Man that was a huge upgrade over the typical coach seating. Hope I do as well this year!

Looking for info on Delta 767 300ER 76H BH seats.

I'm flying from ATL->DUS tomorrow and the plane seems to have been updated. Its now showing the 767 300ER (76H) with 6-7 rows up in FC, EC starting at row 13.

WHat I cannot find is info on how much room the bulkhead seats in row 13 have. Seatmaestro says "good seat but beware" for row 13.

I see references to the front seats having less room than previous, but cannot locate specific info on this plane and these seats.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm currently 4 rows back in EC row 16 window, but could move up to 13A window in the front. I would rather have legroom, but if the wall cuts this off and makes it harder to get past the person in 13B I'll stay put.

(sorry for the repost but seats are going fast and my previous was buried in the back of a very long thread)
