The Main Cabin benefit seems to not be much of a benefit. I'm traveling with my wife and I would assume that Delta would try to keep us together or at least assist us in switching seat once on board. Is that giving them too much credit?
The comfort level has somewhat bigger seats and you get free drinks. We don't plan on drinking so I don't want to pay for that. The entertainment system"upgrade" is not enticing either. It's just the seat that sounds good. Is it that much better?
Any flown to Milan on an Airbus A330? Is it a big difference? I love the low price but...
