Flew DL in F on ANC-SEA yesterday on a 738. I've flown DL F on other routes that don't compete with AS, so I was curious how'd they'd stack up. In short, DL wins if you're putting down premium $$ on this route.
-PDB
-Two dedicated FA's in F
-Personal TV in seatback
-Power
-Hot towel service
-For food, I chose chicken risotto. It was served with broccoli, a salad, rye dinner roll, and gelato. The infamous DL snack basket was passed around as we neared SEA. In short, it was at about twice as much food as AS serves in F on ANC-SEA.
Crew was SEA-based and just as friendly as a usual AS crew.
Based on my travel patterns, DL isn't robust enough in ANC for me to seriously consider switching, but AS has some work cut out for itself.
22 segments on Delta this year and only 2 had seat back TV. same with power few and far between.
You can also order special meals on al DL F flights with meal service.
I have flown several 738 PDX-ATL and vice versa and don't recall 2 dedicated FA'S.
