777 D1 Suite PS + Comfort+ retrofit consolidated thread
Has there been any news on when this will begin?
|
January is what I've heard.

Didn't think it was that soon... I don't recall seeing anything about what the updated seating config will be either except for some speculation back in May based on an initial filing from Delta for 28J/48P/220Y

Y'all know I can be a pretty big DL cheerleader. That said, I don't understand the fascination with Delta's "Suites". Anyone who has flown a true suite product (I have on SQ, EK, 9W, and CZ) can see this isn't even close. It's just the same lie-flat (with legs going under armrest in front) and a small sliding door. By the looks of it, and admittedly, I have not yet flown it, I don't see any advantages to it compared to what is now Delta One.

People like to get excited about things that make them feel special or like they are flying something truly unique. Calling the DL suites is pathetic, but, its what they have chosen as marketing and many, many people dont know better. It allows people to brag about flying in a "suite" when many will never fly on something like an EK or SQ Suite that is truly where the terminology began and belongs.

It's got more storage space than any other D1 seat (or any Polaris seat or any AA seat). It's got a bigger tv than any other D1 seat (or Polaris/AA).
The 777 seats are starting to show their age. To me, a brand new suite is a clear upgrade over the current 777 D1 seat. |
More storage than the 747 D1 seat?
Agree the 777 seats are old and need a refresh. Just crappy that the J cabin is being reduced even more down to 28 seats. |

Agreed. The "door" doesn't make it better. It just makes it a door. This product is not a "suite" by any definition. I guess Barnum was right...there's one born every minute. If DL can get a product premium out of it, good for DL. Something tells me that those who know better are unwilling to pay above-and-beyond D1 pricing for it. Just flew the 9W suite last week. Amazing space. |

I'm booked in J on the 777 NRT-ATL in June... it would be such a wonderful surprise to finish out the trip on in a D1 Suite :) C'mon DL, give the ATL-NRT route some love!

Except you forget that all those amazing SQ, EK, EY, etc. Suite products are based on First Class, not Business Class, so it's not exactly a fair comparison. As much as I love SQ, even its latest product doesn't feature doors in Business Class.

Correct. I don't care about what its called, I just know that I live in Sydney, have a few hundred thousand SkyMiles to burn and don't want to fly in the ole crappy 777 seat again. Hence this topic :).
I do not find it uncomfortable to sit in, though admittedly I have never tried sleeping in it. Is it the age of the seat or position of the seat? I am contemplating taking a flight in DELTA One on a 777 and am curious as to what makes it less desirable as I do have some other comparable options that I could choose. |
