From memory I think the food was economy food but you got served first, there was an amenity pack as well a slightly bigger pillow and blanket.

As you're a Delta flyer, think of it as being the difference between Comfort+ and Domestic First.

You'll get about 7-8 extra inches of legroom over EconomyX which is considerable. The food and service are a step up as well.
WHOA! Just $395-$400? I may have to save up and put in a bid! Who knows? I'm flying LAX-MEL in August on a Tuesday and MEL-LAX on a Sunday. Anyone know the stats on nabbing these seats?
