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.

A330-200 / 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.

- From DL's C+ page: 3-4" (7-10 cm) extra legroom/ Up to 50% more recline on select routes (JFK to/from SFO or LAX, and ATL/MSP/or JFK to/from HNL).

Related threads and posts:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/delta...767-300er.html

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+.

It's possible, but I already think that Delta is pushing the envelop on what people are willing to pay. This will become a bigger problem as more revenue customers are exposed to what the C+ product is actually like. I think most people are expecting a snack basket on every flight and first class-lite type service. Some, including several people I know, were expecting some sort of meal, and were disappointed when they didn't get one.

I could be totally wrong, and Delta is actually selling these seats like hotcakes, but I just have trouble seeing that.

They're well past the envelope on what people are willing to pay.

Well, I've read about 15 pages covering about five months and didn't see this answered, so I'll ask.

I've got an award trip coming up, ATL-BRU, on a 767. I love these planes because they have the two-seats on each side so that two people traveling together don't risk sitting next to a stranger.

C+ is an option on the international legs, for $119 each way. Is there any real benefit to C+ on an international flight other than the extra legroom? For some reason I thought there was going to be an upgraded meal involved, but I think I may have it confused with the new AA product. If it's just legroom, I'll pass.

Thanks!

Per the wiki at the top of each page in the thread (if not viewing the mobile version of FT), "Extra legroom and, on international a/c, extra recline." The meal is the same though.

Bumping the thread to ask if anyone has experience with the 767-300Z v2, in C+?

There have been plenty of reviews & some helpful pics upthread of the 763Z v1 seat options, but the v2 seems rare (reportedly only 7 of DL's many 767s). We are booked in early May, and right now seated in the only overwing exit row, side pair.

SeatGuru says the C+ exit row 12 (at the full size door between J and C+) has both a slide protrusion problem and bothersome lavs. Has anyone flown the z2 in C+ and care to comment? $119 per person to hear lavs flushing all night + people congregating is not a great deal IMO.

Is DL just showing me the z2 seatmap but likely to switch to the more common z1? This may sound slightly odd, but after booking our MSP-JFK-SNN trip, I've been shopping future travel, and any time that DL has a 763 scheduled that doesn't have the 36-seat DL One cabin, it appears to have a v2 scheduled (I've looked at MSP-AMS late flight in Oct, also PDX-NRT, and I think maybe one other longhaul that wasn't an A330 or a 764). I've only ever actually flown in the 76T and the 76Z v1, so it seems remarkable that I've picked routes that all suddenly have the less common Z v2 allocated.

What do the road warriors think of the following: Stuck in steerage....36K or 26G. Generally sleep better against the window, but don't want a C+ window because I want to get out. Any preferences?

36K looks pretty decent in this photo. I see space to put your legs between the door and 35K.

Hi all,

I will be flying from Detroit to Korea soon and they offer C+ upgrade for $149 one way. Worth it? Are free drinks and premium snacks (what are they anyway) + 3'' of leg room justify the $300 round trip upgrade?

Never done C+ so looking for feedback from experienced flyers.

You should get free drinks anyway. Premium snacks clearly aren't worth it, you can buy your own for a lot less.

Whether the extra space and recline is worth it depends on you. How tall are you? How well do you fit in a regular coach seat? (C+ isn't wider.)

I'm 6'2, slender build so width is not an issue. This is my first international in quite some time, so don't recall how important 3'' of legroom would be?

3 inches would be very important to me on a long flight plus the ability for better chances at a seatmate on a more expensive ticket and a better seat selection location advice from this forum.

How bad is the lack of legroom on domestic flights? seatguru.com will show you the pitch of the seats on various flights.
