Delta First Class Legroom - Comfort Plus is Better
With all of Delta’s focus on increasing revenue from First class I realized today after flying my last few flights in American that Delra First Class is even worse than I remember from a few months ago:
- Bulkheads are the tightest in the industry
- Rgular rows aren’t any better than Comfort Plus
- I would no choose an aisle in Comfort Plus over the bulkhead in First. If you have long legs you must completely avoid Delta First bulkhead. Choose American 738s with 40” pitch.
Meals aren’t that great so I certainly don’t see why anyone would pay more to fly in First. Shocking how Delta gets such a good rap with such an uncomfortable Prmeium Cabin

Leg space is less important to me than seat width, particularly the space separating me and my seat mates. Nothing worse than someone whose body parts are infringing on my space. With so many folks overweight, it's rare when someone doesn't.

The most space on a DL plane these days is the first row of Comfort+ or the Exit row.
FC is a joke especially when you get a DYKWIA who goes full recline with their seat nearly touching your nose.

I actually like the bulkhead rows in first. No one reclining into my space and enough room for the window person to exit without forcing the aisle person to get up.

I agree with your point in general, but on this point you are wrong. The C+ bulkhead, esp if it's an exit row, will have more leg room than a regular F seat, but a standard F seat is going to have about 2 more inches of legroom than a standard C+ seat, and the F seat will always have more width.

I have no prob with AA's First Class legroom......DL just feels TIGHT. 1st row of C+ is the best seat usually thanks to those cheap 1/4 cabin dividers.
