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.

- 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+.

Anyone have some insight to Economy Comfort on the 767-300 domestic? I searched the thread but didn't get any good hits. I was on a 763 ATL-SFO the other day and on that plane the numbering for rows 10-13 were done in red for EC, but the seat map doesn't show it as such. I'm flying on one again and am trying to figure out if it will have EC. It seems that the old layout had no window at row 13, and went back to row 21 before you hit the lavs.

Now the seat map only goes to row 20 in the front section - does that mean this plane has had EC added? I also can't remember which row it was that is missing the window - SeatGuru reports that the missing window has moved to row 12. It also seems to now have 5 rows of first class instead of 4.

Anyone have some better info? I need to take a photo of the plane next time.

Domestic EC has not officially rolled out other than the JFK-LAX/SFO routes, so you would not yet see it on the seat maps.

I was on a 763 LAX-ATL this past Sunday that had not been updated for EC. Given that Row 10 is currently the first row of Y, I would be surprised if they removed 10 rows to start the Y cabin at row 20 for EC on domestic 763's.

DL domestic EC is now available. The seat charts I've looked at this morning were all populated with EC Green!!

Domestic EC showing up online

Just went online and saw they finally are showing which seats are EC. It wasn't like this last night so I am guessing they did it overnight. No glitches... so far. Way to go Delta IT (for now).

And it finally shows where the layover is for a price search. Impressed for DL IT standards.

You are right, I am seeing this as well.

What happens to FO's (like myself) who have flights booked out weeks in advance and what we once had selected were "Preferred" seats and are now showing up as EC seats? Do we still get to keep these seats? Will they charge us for these when we actually show up to the airport (one of the seats I had already selected is showing up as "Economy Comfort $39.50 per passenger")?

Not entirely sure. My family has split reservations going to Hawaii and we originally all got in premium seats before they changed over to EC. No one has gotten their seat changed although if you try to move them around, then they want the money. On the one to Honolulu, its $79. That seems quite high but I guess it is a better benefit for Medallions then.

Agreed.

For me, this really isn't a big issue as I'll soon be gold which apparently has "Complimentary" EC on transcon routes. However, I'm also seeing some EC seats show up on much shorter routes (like ATL-CLT and v.v.). Interesting.

It looks like its on all routes that have 2 class cabins for what I see. Can't imagine EC on a CR7 could be all that noticeable.

For the most part I'm seeing this as well, however some flights with 2 class cabins don't show any EC for me (i.e. flight 1679 on Jun 3).

I also see the changes as of today...on my next post-June 7 N. American flight in July.

Going to need to figure out which has more legroom on these planes, e.g. row 27 on a regular 757, or the EC rows...

No drinks, no extra recline. Just extra legroom.
