So, this gets more interesting. Delta.com still says premium-economy passengers are only supposed to receive Sky Priority, not premium privileges (https://www.delta.com/content/www/en...m-economy.html). You could call it semantics but there is a distinct difference between the two, at least for boarding. I suspect they realized that folks in premium-economy would see and hear "premium" and think that is them. This is also the problem with zone 1; people logically assume it's the first to board.

That seat in your photo looked a lot like an old style AA MD80 F seat, but with more recline and the footrest. How do you feel that the DL 350 PE seat compares with various DL narrowbody F seats?

The two meals looks nice....the "snack" however is a bit disappointment... it looks NOTHING like what Delta advertises on their website, especially since the ticket states that a Dinner, Lunch, & Brunch will be offered.

Not sure but in one video of the PS seats (bulkhead), it looks like each half of the middle armrests can flipped up horizontally providing a nice barrier to prevent your seat mate from infringing on your space and widening your seat area at your waist by a couple of inches. That's really nice, especially for wide-bodied passengers.

From the photos I've seen, the Premium Select blanket looks to be the same gray, Westin-branded one as provisioned in domestic first class, which of course differs from the blue, non-branded main cabin blanket. (Since I tend not to use blankets, I've no idea if the first class version is actually better.)

IMy work colleague just flew to Tokyo yesterday in the product. She was in an aisle seat in the center section. Her biggest complaint was that the center section seats have some sort of bar underneath the seat in front of you that restricts legroom. Apparently, the seats on the side sections don't have this bar.
She also said there was no curtain separating economy from premium-economy, which created a lavatory issue.

My two flights on the DL A350 to date also had no curtain separating Y from PS.

This is really strange. Is there not a natural place for one? Is there a bulkhead? Seems like a curtain would be essential with how they're trying to pitch it as a truly premium level product.

Yes the gray ones and the blue ones are frequently mixed together, but depending on the lighting, the colors look nearly identical, so its no wonder that the people provisioning the aircraft mix them all together. I doubt they realize there is a difference. A color blind individual would never be able to tell that there are two different colors.

The seats on the 'side sections' also have this horizontal bar. Seriously limits the underseat space to about 60% of what it was on the 777-400. Vertical seat support under the window seat is also horribly positioned. I am definitely not a fan of the new economy seats. Has me thinking about avoiding the DL A350 in future.
