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.

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+.

You mention leg room--row 4 has some of the better C+ seats in the fleet, since the cabin divider is only a curtain.

Amenities? No wider seat, but free snacks and drinks, and if the flight is over 900 miles, perhaps a basic meal.

Row 4 is great. I think it might have even more legroom than row 10 on the MDs. I'm normally an aisle seat person, but I'll take 4A/4F on an A319/320 or 10A/10E on an MD-88/90/B717 any day.

Does DL still block 4D and 4E for gate assignment? I think they used to.

A330-300 Seat 10A

I recently flew SEA-AMS and then AMS-SEA in Delta Comfort+. Outbound I was in seat 10A and return I was in seat 11F. 10A is the seat at the bulkhead. I am 6'3" and I found the legroom in 10A to only be adequate. The legroom was fine when I was sitting up, but it was a little short when I was trying to stretch out and recline. I could have really used 6 more inches of legroom. I would not book this seat again in the future. On the return I was in row 11. I found this to be much more comfortable with adequate leg room under the row in front. I also found the recline of the seat back from the row in front to be okay.

Purely speculation, but the first row of C+ on the domestic Airbus sure seems like it has way more legroom than F. The best is a seat like 10D/E on the MD88. But back on topic. I really like 4A/F on the Airbus. I usually don't need to get up for a stretch or visit to the lav, and there is so much space that my bag goes under row 4 and I can still stretch out, so I don't need to get up to retrieve items either.

I feel the same about the first row of C+ on the domestic 763s.

If only row 10 on the domestic 767 had the little foot cut-out like row 1 on the airbus, it would be perfect.

Just booked Brussels - New York, should be on the 767-300ER. I upgraded to Comfort + immediately, cause leg room is important to me. I picked seat 17 F/G because they seem to be very nice with great leg room. Emergency exit row 21 still free and starting to wonder if I should have picked that. If any of you have flown in both, I'd love to hear comments.
For those of you wondering BRU-JFK was $99 one way and I travel in September.

On this a/c, I usually prefer the bulkhead. I'll take row 21 if that's not an option.

Let me put it like this: if you have too much choice, you start doubting yourself. All seats available, lucky me. If bulkhead on this bird is the same as on the Airbus A330-200 (A3L2), I'll be in heaven. At 5'10", with very long legs, I couldn't touch the bulkhead . Loved it, so I'll stick with row 17.
As always, thanks rwoman

Generally, the 763ER bulkhead rows are great. It is generally heralded that the exit row seats are less comfortable and can be colder. If this is the version where the middle seats of the first row of C+ are ahead of the side seats (i.e. this or this), then the AB FG seats have enough space that someone in the A seat could stand up and walk around someone in the B seat. The only two detriments, though small, are the obvious: no floor storage and no moving armrests. But regardless of the type, the 763 has good room in the bulkhead. The only exception is the 76Z.
