Status Changes:
There have been a couple of questions regarding C+ when a member's status drops down after January 31. Typically, seats will hold unless there is an equipment change. If there's a change, the passenger(s) will most likely be seated in regular economy. There are reports of some success contacting @delta to get reseated in C+.

On March 1, 2015, DL rebranded Economy Comfort as "Comfort+."
Delta - Comfort+
dl.com: LINK
Comfort+ FAQ - LINK
Offering:
- C+ is a complimentary upgrade (space available) for DM and PM after booking. GM can access for free at T-72 and FO at T-24. (There is no longer a discount for GM/FO.)
- Sky Priority boarding
- Extra legroom and, on international a/c, extra recline
- Free wine, spirits and regional craft beers, plus premium snacks
Complimentary premium entertainment from Delta Studio™(No longer relevant as of July 1st; Entertainment now complimentary in Y)- On JFK-LAX/SFO flights, a Luvo® sandwich wrap and frozen Greek yogurt bar, pillow, blanket, and sleep kit are included
A few general notes regarding DL C+:
- On international a/c, the bulkhead seats often have a significant amount leg room (other than the 764).
- The bulkhead and exit row seats are often narrower as the tray table and/or IFE unit are in the arm rests. The arm rests do not move which, coupled with a smaller seat, can be uncomfortable for larger pax.
- The first row of regular economy seating after EC IS NOT recommended. The last row of EC has the EC recline and members have reported that there's no extra space between this row and the first row of regular Y.
- Selecting C+ Seats - You cannot select or purchase C+ seats until after booking is completed on revenue or award tickets. The UG has to clear as well.
Internationally Configured Aircraft
Per DL, International/transoceanic C+ offers 35" pitch and 6" recline. (LINK)
747-400 / 744 / 74S:
- dl.com seat map: 747-400
Rows 22-26 - 42 total C+ seats. - Legroom:
Row 22 ABC/HJK and 24 DEFG are the bulkhead seats. 22C/H are noted as having unlimited legroom and some have noted that people can congregate due to the proximity of the lavatories, which are located directly in front of the first row of C+ on the 744. 22ABC have recently received poor reviews because of the lav and galley - people tend to congregate in this area and it can become stinky. Comments on 22K indicate that pax can access the aisle without disturbing other passengers. Also, the lavatory near 22HJK is blocked for BusinessElite pax, so there tends to be fewer disturbances and become less smelly over the course of a long flight. Also, seats 22B and 22J can be used for bassinets.
Some might prefer the legroom of row 35/51 on the 744 with less recline and tray in armrest. - Related Threads and Posts:

NOTE: As DL reduced the number of Business Elite seats on the 777s, rows 29-32 are now the C+ seats.
The C+/Economy seats on a/c has winged headrests. - Legroom:
Row 29/31 seats are the bulkhead seats and have plenty of leg room. Rows 30-32/32-34 are standard C+ seats with USB and plug power. Row 44 (exit row) has excellent legroom, but no power outlets. The window seat sin this row are narrower because the tray table is in the armrest does not move up. The recline is standard recline.

C+ is rows 15-18 - Legroom:
On the 764, the bulkhead seats (row 15) have less leg room than the 763's; there's probably about 2' or so between the edge of the seat and the wall. The bulkhead seats do not have moveable arm rests and the tray table/IFE monitor are in the arm rests. In my experience, I felt like the A332/333 and 763's had better recline in EC than the 764. - IFE:

Yet their systems still are in separate universes. I actually managed to check in via the KLM app for my DL codeshared flights on KL tomorrow (was surprised I could actually). BUT, app does not recognize STE+, hence wants to charge for EC BLL-AMS (50 minute flight, I don't care) and AMS-ATL (I was already in EC, but app would gladly charge me EUR 140 if I wanted a different EC seat). Boarding pass says: "frequent flyer: DLxxxxxxxxx Base". STE+... what's that...? I'm sure it wont be much better at the kiosk in BLL tomorrow (outstation system), which means I can't meaningfully change anything on the AMS-ATL segment until I get to AMS (where the kiosks DO recognize DL status). By that time it will be T-90. In the mean time all I can do is hope and pray that KL wont boot me from my EC seat.
So much time and effort from passengers, passengers harassing agents etc on this issue - it HAS to be economical just to make this WORK, you would think. It can be maddening. So far my EC seat is holding - I will report back with final results.

I've pointed this out before, but DL sure doesn't do anything to let you know that the Economy Comfort benefit doesn't extend to companions on KLM. It wouldn't bother me so much if there wasn't a column in the chart dedicated to KLM flights. I actually sent the page linked below to the KLM rep I was conversing with on Twitter and he/she told me that companions were only free on JFK-SFO/LAX/SEA. That's so obviously untrue that I couldn't even think of a response message to send.

Alliance is one thing - so many airlines I can see why it would be not straightforward to line all the IT up to do it all seamlessly. DL/KLM/AF/AZ we're talking about a metal-neutral TATL JV, which means all earnings and cost swept on a pile and divided up based on % ASM contribution (roughly speaking).

At no time was there any attempt to charge me for the KL EC seats.

The EC seat AMS-ATL stuck, by the way.
However when checking flight status in the lounge at AMS, they were selling WBC upgrades for ~$325 (don't recall the exact EUR number). It's no BE (10 year old angled lie-flats), but for a 9h+ flight, good enough value for me.

This will be our second time ever flying. We will be flying on Delta from JFK to Barcelona on an Airbus 330-300 (3L3). We purchased Economy Comfort seats 12 H and J for each way of the flight.
Has anyone been on this Delta plane with the updated configuration and seat room revisions? Has anyone been on this particular flight to Barcelona and back to JFK which are flight numbers 476 and 477?
We are just trying to determine if we did alright with our seat choices for leg room for what we could afford. I know it's not as nice or roomy as business class, but might not be a bad choice for this category. Too bad there aren't many photos or video clips of this plane and configuration.

Has anyone been on this Delta plane with the updated configuration and seat room revisions? Has anyone been on this particular flight to Barcelona and back to JFK which are flight numbers 476 and 477?

This will be our second time ever flying. We will be flying on Delta from JFK to Barcelona on an Airbus 330-300 (3L3). We purchased Economy Comfort seats 12 H and J for each way of the flight.

Row 10 is often considered the best EC seats.
Row 12 are regular EC - extra recline and legroom vs regular economy.

Thanks for your help, but I hate to say that my total lack of brains forces me to ask what is a related wiki section you advised me to go to, and, where do I find that link or thread?
I had the option of taking Row 10 as you had mentioned, but I did read conflicting opinions.
Thank-you again.

I am booked SEA-PVG on an A330-200. I currently have EC seat 10J (window, bulkhead) and the pictures on this forum make it look like there is plenty of leg room. However, I have seen a couple of non-specific references to problems with this seat. Are there problems with this seat, other than being a window and the tray table is stowed in the armrests? Thanks in advance for your replies!

Of course, the tray tables and AVOD screens are in the armrest. You have to weigh that against the extra legroom, not having someone recline into you, and a small sense of extra privacy because of being in the very front. No one walks past you during the flight except the FAs.

Thanks CarmenOM for the valuable information. We've heard so many different things about Row 10, and you indeed mentioned them... Such as the tray tables and screens in the arm rest.
As I mentioned we booked Row 12. The flight to Barcelona is an overnight and will probably be a sleep flight for us. Maybe if Row 10 is still available, that overnight flight would be the time for Row 10 with more leg room and no one sleeping with their seat in our laps.
The return flight is in the afternoon, so, if Row 10 weren't available, maybe that would be the flight where having to keep our Row12, would at least be tolerable.
Thanks again.

I keep reading that 10ABHJ on the A332 have excellent legroom, but what about CDFG? Does that foursome in the middle have equally great legroom in Row 10? Or is it different?

This does vary and is probably a lot easier if you are flying alone. It worked fine for me flying alone on DL codeshare flights operated by KLM. I just returned today from a roundtrip MSP-AMS-OSL. After I booked my flights I called the PM line, where the agent used what she described as a new "special phone line" to book my EC seats on the KL-operated flights between AMS and OSL. She also gave me my KLM booking code. I checked the flights fairly frequently but had no trouble keeping the EC seats on KL. At check-in time I was even able to change my EC seats on the KL flights. The KL EC seating configuration did seem to change from time to time, but my seats remained the same and were still in EC. I think they may move the division between First and EC to increase or decrease the ratio on the plane in response to demand. On both the KL flights there was an increase in the number of EC seats as the flight date got closer.
At no time was there any attempt to charge me for the KL EC seats.
My boarding pass today, printed at the OSL KL check in counter, has my my DL # and Platinum under my name.

Basically, I was told emphatically, and this after the agent spent 20 min trying to get the "right" answer, that EC seats on KL for this flight would not be available to me since it was a DL codeshare. Very frustrating.

I have been trying to do what you did on my AMS-ARN RT flights. I mentioned the special line, the agent contacted it, and was told that the only way to get EC seats on these flights (I purchased a DL code share, TATL DL metal, AMS ARN flight KL metal), was to either a) get them at check-in or b) reticket to a KLM ticket, but if there was a fare differential, I would have to pay it.

It looked to me like the legroom was the same for the center set of seats as for the outer pairs.
