Hi fellow FTers!
I'm working on updated for the new roll out of Comfort + (C+)
Thanks!
rwoman

************************************************** ***********
************************************************** ***********
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+:
  1. On international a/c, the bulkhead seats often have a significant amount leg room (other than the 764).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

777-200LR / 777-200ER / 772
  • dl.com seat maps: 777-200LR / 777-200ER
    Rows 31-34; 36 C+ seats
    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.
    IFE:
    These a/c are equipped with IFE at each seat.

A330-300 / A333:
A330-200 / A332:
767-400 / 764 / 76D:
  • dl.com seat map: LINK
    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:
    These a/c are equipped with IFE at each seat.
    Note: The overhead bins above 16 CDE have emergency equipment in them and cannot be used for stowage of luggage.

C+ and Priority Boarding/Baggage Allowance:
Passengers in C+ get Sky Priority boarding unless their elite status provides a higher boarding zonemu access. There is no additional baggage allowance unless elite status or fare class provide it.

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+.

I just heard that the CRJ-900's will be getting power in C+.

I don't have other specifics such as will there be in increased number of rows, IFE, seat types, etc.

This is a major set of mods so they'll probably be done out on contract. While the plans are to start this summer, the increased 900 flight loads (taking over many 319 & 320 routes while they get mods and picking up the work from CRJ-200 retirements) means that you won't see these rolling out too quickly,

I've come to prefer the E175 over the CR9.

The problem with both planes however isn't the seats, the power, or the size of the plane. It is the operators... they are typically only painted Delta, not actually Delta.

I've encountered far more mechanicals with these independent carriers than with mainline. They should paint these other carriers with the name "DELAY" instead of "DELTA".

I flew RDU-MSP-SEA-HKG last week with MSP-SEA in C+. My BPs for RDU-MSP and SEA-HKG which were not in C+ were not marked Sky and I didn't get a Priority Bag Tag either.

The week before I'd flown AUS-DTW-GSO and the AUS-DTW BP was marked Sky, DTW-GSO was Zone 1. I think you're given Sky Priority for that flight only, not for the trip. If that makes any sense.

I thought the sky priority was ONLY for Boarding?!

The Delta Website says, that this is the only perk, and all other sky priority perks are not included in C+ flights?!

That's what the website says, though it seems like the "SKY PRIORITY" banner is printing on BPs thus allowing access to SP check-in/security lines.

It appears that perhaps some check-in agents are actually properly trained and not giving bags the yellow SP tag just for C+.

Of course, in many destinations, the yellow tag doesn't seem to do much, anyway.

I have booked a flight from the US to Europe taking place in April. it's operated by Delta.
my status is Flying Blue Gold which allows a discount.
the first time I opened the seat map Economy Comfort was offered to me for less than 40$. now they ask 99$. is that normal? that the prices change?
I thought it was a fixed price and thus did not reserve a seat yet.
any ideas/ experiences?

In my experience yes, it is normal that prices are subject to change until you purchase your E+ seat.

First row of C+ MSP-SEA today. When the snack basket came by, I expressed disappointment that there were no Sanders Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels. At least I got the last Sam Adams from the drink cart.

Just before preparing for landing, the same FA comes by and says she found one. Hands me a Sanders.

EC (now Comfort+) seats are usually fixed in price, however delta recently eliminated the discount for silver and gold elites. That may account for the price difference you see.

It's not specified in the current T&C (LINK).

For Preferred Seats, it states:
Preferred seats are also complimentary for customers that have purchased full Y, B and M fares.
