Flying JFK-ATL on a SkyTeam-livery 75S. No Comfort+ rebranding...Economy Comfort still on headrests etc. also no sign of the snack basket.
Edit: realized the flight is under 900mi so shouldn't have expected the snack basket. Oh well.

This is why EC/C+ tends to be full (or just have middle seats left) as the flight gets close.

You'll need to visit the site/app to select a C+ seat within 72 hours of departure.

I am an FO flying LGA-DEN this weekend (V outbound/P return). Delta App says Sky Priority on the Today Page on the outbound V fare (Guess that is for complimentary SKY bag check?). Mobile boarding pass has no mention of Sky Priority and Zone 1. I passed on C+ at check-in for exit row and more space for my carry on bags. (Reading about these new C+ sky priority rules I am regretting that decision).

My boarding pass now says Zone "Sky" and has the Red "Sky Priority" banner next to the TSA Pre logo above the barcode.

I just flew from ATL - BDL with C+ on a MD-88 and they did have the new seat covers. I did have a Skyy & tonic and the FA didn't ask for any payment. We didn't get offered headsets or a snack basket either.
I did have Sky boarding on my boarding pass.

And I'm sure that, after the aircraft has reached cruising altitude and the captain has turned off the fasten seat belt sign, the FA would be delighted to escort the OP down to the in-flight wine cellar so that the OP could make a careful, considered selection from the carefully curated collection of wines, specially selected by Delta's master somolliers for their superior in flight profiles.

And if that fails, check at the last minute (when boarding starts) in case somebody got upgraded out of one. (I gave up 18D on JFK-SFO yesterday, and I believe it remained empty.)

Since I switched from Exit Row to C+ I did notice that in the middle right there is a "Class" Designation. Mine changed from "V" to "Main(V)" on the C+ Sky Priority Boarding Pass.

Flew AUS-DTW in C+ on 3/1 but I slept the whole flight, still, having Sky Priority was nice.

I'll be flying RDU-MSP in C+ on 3/9 so I'll report back on my experience then.

C+ experience

Flew C+ twice yesterday; MCO-ATL and ATL-LIT. Seat covers had not been changed, no dedicated overhead and no entertainment. Pretzels only on both flights, nothing else. On first flight asked if drinks were free since nothing was said and they were. On second flight just asked for the drink.

Didn't notice on the first flight, but on the second flight there were at least 5 empty seats in C+ (there should have been some UG at the gate). Didn't hear any discussion of the drinks on either flight, but it's still brand new.

Reversing flights on Monday so I'll see if anything is different.

Had the service on 2/26 from MSP to LAX and from LAX to HNL. On the HNL leg, I had to ring my call button to ask for another drink later into the flight after just receiving the one. For a 5.5 hour flight I would think they would check more than once.

The snacks seemed to be the same as the ones in F.

Also yesterday coming back via LAX, they allowed Platinums to board in between Premium/Diamonds and then us lowly golds were allowed to board.
Has anyone seen this before?
