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+.

Since you're 6'6", I would only consider taking the EC bulkhead (22ABC, 22HJK, 24 DEFG) over your current seats. Otherwise I would keep my Y seats.

By the way, it's a 13 hr flight ATL-NRT, then you're deplaning so you have a chance to recharge a little for a couple of hours before NRT-BKK.

Do not take middle bulkhead of 24 DEFG. Passengers on TPAC flights tends to use the space in front of row 24 DEFG as a passage between the two aisles.

I disagree with tentseller. I fly the DL 747-400 product quite often both on Economy Comfort and Business. When I fly on EC, I always go for the bulkhead of 24DEFG because of the extra legroom (more so than 22ABC and HJK). Passengers have crossed infront of me from zero times to maybe once or twice per flight. I prefer this and have the extra legroom.

And BEWARE of seats 22ABC and HJK. The constant traffic to the lavatories, which are right in front of these seats, is extremely bothersome. Not to mention, sometimes bad odors and the constant noise from toilet flushes are enough to make the entire flight experience hell!

Anyhow, I would choose EC seats over regular Y anytime, especially considering your height and the need to stretch during long-haul flights.

I too would love to see pictures and more feedback regarding 13AB. I have these seats currently on a JFK-DUB flight but still not completely sold on the bulk head. Thank!

I wouldn't pay $3.90 for EC on that let alone $39. The E75s are nice aircraft and the 2x2 seating helps a lot. It's not worth the expense at all when every seat is a window or aisle and it's a newer, comfortable plane.

$39 leg room?

If you really like leg room, maybe; otherwise, it's a marginal improvement, because the rest of the seats are so comfortable.

Best seats are 5CD (or 4CD on the E70): stretch your legs under the curtain and barely reach your bag in FC. The AB seats are behind the single FC seat, so the first one in A or B gets the storage. Same great leg room.

Thanks for the update rwoman! The legroom seems decent enough. Though I hope to end up forward of these seats...

Yes, my sister said it was more than fine - certainly better than row 15 on the 764!!

As you've mentioned previously, I've found row 15 to be unexpecetedly tight. Think I'd rather have another EC row and also be able to have underseat storage. Plus the bathrooms are there.

Having been in row 15 of the 764 and row 13 of the 763 flying TATL and TCON I will take row 13/763 but not row 15/764.

I'm flying on deltas JFK-lax on the 76Z version 1 with the 7 rows of business elite and I'm sitting in EC row 15 and was wondering if that row was missing a window or has a miss-angled window. My other options are 16 or 17 and I really don't want to be sitting in a row with out a window or one where I can't look out.

I read a lot but could not find the answer to this. Flying SJU-ATL-SEA on a 757-200 I think.

My question, row 19 seats D and E are economy comfort, but seat F is not. Does anyone know what is wrong with this seat? Pros or cons?

TYIA.

767-300ER missing window rows

I'm flying on deltas JFK-lAX on the 76Z version 1 with the 7 rows of business elite and I'm sitting in EC row 15, 13 is the bulkhead and was wondering if row 15 was missing a window or has a miss-angled window. My other options are 16 or 17 and I really don't want to be sitting in a row with out a window or one where I can't look out. So out of rows 15, 16, and 17 which ones have the best window placements.
