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.

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+.

4B and C tend to get bumped by the carts and people though. Very similar to the 4B and C situation on the 900s

+1, if you're in 4B, watch your toes.

+1 on 4B.

4C is better, you only really have to watch the cart. People are too busy tripping over and banging 4B!

You can also stow your "personal item" under the seat in front of you. I have long legs and I can usually hardly even touch my bag with a toe, in that seat.

Remember, no Delta-flown CRJ will allow larger than a 20" rollerboard and even those are hard to do, sometimes. They gate check/pink tag, though, so you get it on the jetbridge when you get off the plane.

Doesnt change that those first B/C coach seats on the 700 and 900s seem to get bumped by the carts and people fairly frequently

Also the full sized bins on the left side of the aircraft start at row 4 so if you end up needing overhead space it does exist.

Row 4 on a CRJ-700 (and row 5 on a CRJ-900) have the usual overhead bin space, not usually taken by the flight crews. I like to choose these rows, but when I do, I instead like to put my carryon under the row in front (the last row in FC). There is mondo leg room on these coach rows. Definitely the best coach seats on a CRJ-7 or -9.

I am curious, do people usually go for a last row exit seat over EC? To me the additional legroom and restriction that the person in front of you CAN'T recline seems like that is the better play?

That is the conclusion I have come to. Also factoring in to that decision:
no one in the emergency rows can be a crying baby
no one can be so "of size" that they flow over into my space

However, I will only do this if I can book the aisle in second row emergency exit. If that is already gone then I will make a play for an EC seat at check-in. I don't want to be stuck for a long time at the back of the plane. And if time between connecting flights is very tight, then I will book aisle as far to the front as I can instead of emergency exit.

Question - - - ?
Re: The booze being comped ?
Is the LAS-SEA leg flown by Delta or by code share partner Alaska ?
None of the travel LAS-SEA-ANC is international even if one leg is flown
over Canada.
Delta's comped booze as I understand is only on international segments.
I am not familiar with Alaska's policy.

Don't quite know how to explain the odd EC pricing - again maybe the code
share flight on Alaska could be a part of the equation.

DLERT, I didn't reveal all of my secrets in the post. For example, I did not reveal that if the second emergency row aisle seats are taken at the time I book, I check back as DMs and PMs and Golds get upgraded, since that often results in emergency exit row seats opening up.

Oops.

Hey guys,

I was looking at the Delta mileage accrual chart and was wondering what EC seats fall under. I was initially thinking buying EC seats came with 150% MQMs, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong now. Can anyone confirm for me whether buying EC seats net 100% or 150% MQMs. Thanks for your help.

EC is simply a different seat section choice, not another class of service. You will retain the original booking class and the MQM accrual based on that. In short, you will not earn any extra MQMs
