However, the premium class cabin experience on international Delta Air Lines flights has a greater differentiation from the economy class experience, including more food choices, pillows and duvets, a higher level of service, and other items that increase in value to help long-haul flights become more tolerable and even enjoyable.
Absolutely agree. I've paid for Int'l BE and I find it well worth the money (I-fares). I was standing in line at a gate (to see if I could move my seat) and they announced, for ATL-BWI (all of 1.25 hrs) $75 upgrades to F. $75!!!! AND THEY SOLD THEM (the guy in front of me purchased one, and the woman behind me did).
I would not pay $75 for DL domestic F for a 1.25 hr flight. Not even for a 2 hr flight. Does it even earn 1.5xMQM/RDM?
