Great FAs on all 4 flights. We got out of Lima on the very last flight the night of March 17. We bought a new ticket in First just to stay away from other pax. Service was very good by any measurement. Especially under weird conditions with the COVID-19 and all.
Our seats were in the middle in Business/First. I think DL calls it Delta One. These are the worst seats in the front section we have ever seen. No room for feet. Hard cushions. Only a small person could be comfortable. I'm 6'1" average build and I might as well been in the very back.
As awful as the UA product we've been to LIM on, these are much worse.
We flew ATL-LIM in one section back and those were much more comfortable. Bad mistake coming home. Otherwise, we really liked flying Delta and will do it again. Just not in a small coffin.
The seat DL uses is common on OAL 767, though has gradually been replaced by airlines. The best seats are row 1. The footwell is in the wall, not under table of seat in front. Thus you have tons of room.
