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+.

+1, I have not either which is why I'm posting. Some say its similar to 76Z but no discussion of seat room etc.

You can't search by "76H" in a thread either which makes it difficult to weed through pages of numbers and letters. It seems Delta has plenty of configurations to choose from these days.

I manage the FAQ an am very familiar with its contents. I keep post #1 current with any info posted later in the thread.

Geez, to make matters worse they are dinking around with the seat configuration. Now when I look it appears to be a 767 300 76L, and they stuck me in the front EC row whether I like it or not.

I could move back to the EC in the exit row but seatguru says "limited" recline (even on the back most exit row which is odd)

The FAQ says both recline, no word on limited or not. A window in the exit EC row seems like it would be ideal.

I'm probably going to be lucky to get what I want now that Delta seems to be flipping configurations around.

use ' ' around short terms that won't let you search. so '76H'. And the 76Z is new too, right? probably not a lot of feedback, if it is similar to that.

I've never had the second EC exit row have less recline. I am typing this from a non-updated 763 with rows 20 and 21 as the exits. I just sat in both and tested the recline. Row 20 is not any better than regular Y and row 21 is the normal better EC recline.

Airbus Industrie A330-200

and according to the SeatGuru and SeatExpert that seems to be the plane discussed in rwoman's quoted message, above. So I chose 11G eastbound and 11C westbound and wanted to confirm that's the good-legroom seats being mentioned here.

Last year on this same trip I bought EC seats on the aircraft they were using then (767 was it?) and based on some FlyerTalk browsing chose 15G, the bulkhead window seat. Man that was a huge upgrade over the typical coach seating. Hope I do as well this year!
I just sat in 11C on the 332 flying MSP-CDG and can confirm that there is lots of legroom for 11C and 11G as row 10 has only two seats in the middle section and therefore no seats in front of 11C & G. Also, all armrests between the seats in row 11 can be raised; the aisle armrests have the tray table and AVOD screens for the two outer seats while the two inner seats have that equipment on the seats in front of them.

10D&F, the two center bulkhead seats, also have a moveable armrest between them. I'm not certain about the armrests in 10A,B,H,J, the outer bulkhead seats.

Transcon 752, take 22C (EC) or 19A (non EC but extra leg room)?

Do these birds in EC have extra recline or not?

Take 22C.

19A is not labeled EC on the seatmap for good reason. It's one of the worst seats in Delta's fleet because the slide on the door protrudes into your legroom, so your left leg will have nowhere to go.

The EC seats on the 75E do have extra recline. Officially DL advertises extra recline in EC on its JFK-LAX/SFO and ATL-HNL routes.

rwoman,There seems to be some differing opinions on 15F/G on the 764. A document to which I pledged myself long ago stated "Ask the Chief", so I'm asking.

I'm 6'2" with a 36" inseam and I tend to stretch out. In your opinion, am I better off in the bulkhead aisle or a regular EC aisle seat? Thanks!
