Not probably, but definitely, as DL has already indicated that unbundling of premium cabins is the next step. I believe they had already indicated at investor day last year that the unbundling would start with Comfort in Q4 of 2025, and we're right on track.
Sadly, unbundling of D1 probably makes sense for transatlantic flights (for DL) because with the JV, I believe VS and AF/KLM have been unable to unbundle their own North American transatlantic premium fares the way they do in other markets. Once DL gets on board, they'll all be able to align bundles.
