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.

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 did eyeball the EC seats on the 767-300 on the LAX-HNL route and they appeared to have about 2 inches more legroom.

Not nearly enough in my opinion for a comfortable 6 hour flight. I suspect it is marketed for the Kettles who have no other way to get priority boarding and free bags.

For a FF the exit seats when wisely chosen are much better. Even better yet, is a miles only upgrade to F. (not automatic on the mainland-Hi flights with DL)

I didn't see this earlier, but how are 20A and 20F on a Domestic 752 that has AVOD? I'm debating between those and 26D on a BOS-SLC flight next month.

I was on a 752 EC seat with AVOD on a flight from Mexico last week, but FA said not free for ECers. "Only Europe and Asia."

Ive snagged 18G on a 764 LHR-ATL in October (last EC row). Can anyone tell me what the view will be of out the window? Im hoping for a decnt view of the forward engine pod, but have a feeling its more likely to be the leading edge slats...

Am I right in thinking that 18G will also have an AVOD box under the seat in front?

Not sure if this was just the MD-88 I happened to be on or is the case for all MD-88s, but 11D-E had non-moveable armrests just like the bulkhead. 11A-C did not, nor did any rows behind.

Also, I'm sure this was still the case before EC, but the curtain separating F from Y pretty much falls into 10C's lap, which could be quite annoying.

10 D/E are the best EC seats - lots of leg room and underseat storage. Never saw any problems in that row regrarding the FC/EC curtain.

32b/c vs Row 12EC ON MD88

Haven't flown coach in ages but partner and I (PMs) actually found a way to use Amex companion certs and save quite a bit.

Choice is the "bulkHead" row 32 or 12 in Econ comfort. On our usual md88 routes we end up with u/g.

Thoughts?

Row 12 is the last row of EC, which some do not like because they do not want to impede on the first row of Y if they recline.

You may be better off in the exit row.

32B/C are some of the worst seats on the reconfigured MD-88s. They are not actually bulkhead seats, there is no wall there. They are narrower than the other seats to accommodate the rear-facing FA jumpseat where 32A would be, and the emergency exit. Also, any extra legroom 32B gets is largely eaten up by the box for the flight attendant's phone. 32C has some extra legroom but is still narrower than average. Plus the flight attendant will be getting up and crossing right in front of you multiple times during the flight. There is no way these should be labeled Green by SeatGuru. Row 12 would be the clear winner in my book.

Also, I don't believe the domestic EC seats recline any more than regular economy seats, so you won't be eating up any more of the person's space behind you than you would if you reclined in a typical economy seat. Some people still feel bad about having extra legroom AND reclining into the poor soul behind you... but hey, reclining exit row seats have always been the holy grail until EC.

Take the EC seats, unless you can snag 33A.

As javabytes explained, row 32 is nothing special; a little extra legroom and close proximity to a flight attendant. 33A offers "unlimited" legroom and probably the best window view on the plane (if you're into that sort of thing).

I'm Flying from Madrid to JFK DL127 (767-300) and was seriously considering upgrading from a standard economy seat to economy comfort

Seems like most seats in the economy comfort section are open including the first row (17) and one exit row, (21G). seems like an exit window with full recline but it's right near the Lavatory.

The aircraft seems to be an updated 763 (since exit rows 20 and 21 are EC). I was curious whether row 17 on these updated aircrafts have "endless legroom" or should I go 21G which is right near the lavatory but an exit row? I'm generally concerned with stretching my legs out and getting some sleep in for this longer flight.

Any tips would be much appreciated!
