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.

Flying to Hawaii in C+:
- 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+.

I have three R/Ts coming up in C+ and had a few questions.

On the SJC-YVR via SEA it shows as Premium Economy and on the 2 other R/T from SJC-LAX it shows Comfort+. I am a bit confused as to the difference as to why it shows Premium Economy on my DL reservation. Is this the designation for International Flights booked in W?

How will my miles be calculated as well as the MQMs? Will it be done based off the original Y Class or is this an Upgraded Fare with bonus miles on Delta?

What are the craft beers for my CA flights and flights up to YVR? Also on the 1 hour flight from SEA-YVR and YVR-SEA can I ask for an alcoholic drink? I know they state drinks served over a certain amount of distance but I imagine them asking what we want to drink with the First Class cabin.

Do we get additional snacks from SJC-SEA as its a 2 hour flight under their Premium Snacks or do we get those Biscoffs in the Morning and Peanuts/Pretzels in the late morning?

I see they have the Delta special drinks each month that I hope to try along with the Woodford Reserve.

Thanks for your help. We leave in about a week.

Flying with DL next week from Europe to the US. It's an 8 hour flight and I have the option to upgrade to Comfort+ for €80. Is it worth it? Apart from extra legroom and priority boarding, are there any other benefits you would not get in regular economy class?
(It would also mean giving up my window seat for an aisle)
Thanks in advance for the advice!

C+ seats on international flights have extra recline. It's not a great amount but to me it makes a difference in being able to fall asleep without my head falling forward.

Question about seat selection on a 5hr LAX-MIA flight in a couple weeks. I'm currently in 10F which is a C+ seat, but I'm terrified of spending 5hrs at the mercy of two other people with my small bladder. Is this a good option, would it be possible to sneak by them without disturbing them since it's a bulkhead seat? Should I suck it up and take a middle seat? Here is the current availability:

You are not at the "mercy" of anyone. When you want to get up, just get up. If someone is asleep on the aisle, wake them up. People who sit on the aisle have to expect their seat mates will get up. If someone really wants to sleep an entire flight, they shouldn't sit on the aisle, that's just dumb.

there's just a curtain there, not a bulkhead. You should be able to get to the aisle OK.

Only the modded 738s have a curtain between FC and C+ so there is no guarantee that there will be a curtain.

Does the price of Comfort + fluctuate? In other words, will the price drop the closer you get to departure? This would be on an award ticket itinerary but no status. I'm being offered $69 for CUN-MSP, which is a little over 4 hours in the air, flying in about 2 weeks. Thanks in advance!

For international it's a fixed amount based on distance.

Yes, it definitely fluctuates and the offer can go away also. The "pricing model" seems more obscure than anything so it could go either way.
