Anyone have pics/review from the new TPE flight?

Second time this happened this year -- got a $70 upgrade offer from Comfort+ (I bought Main Cabin, but upgraded via Platinum) on my JFK to CDG flight to PS. But it wasn't in the seat map way, rather rebooking the flight in the "Change or Add Flights" button and rebooking the ticket that way. A day before, I messaged Delta and they offered me $300 upgrade but thankfully declined...

Anyone else getting this?

Indeed- while it’s now more in line with AA and UA (although I think DL has elevated it a bit more with hot towels and drinks served in glassware), it’s easy to forget that some Asian carriers have a fairly mediocre soft product in premium economy. For example, JL and CI serve the exact same meal in PE as they do in Y.

UA also serves drinks in glass at meal times

Chicken is back on the menu after the black mold?

Apparently only the coach chicken was moldy. Also, DO & CO seem to have outsourced it rather than preparing it in their own kitchens.

yes and it was quite good

Any experiences using miles to upgrade from C+ to PS?

Looking at HNL-JFK-BOS in September. PS is practically empty HNL-JFK. DL Website doesn't show a price for PS, either cash or miles. Just C+ and D1.

If you are talking about Mileage Upgrade Awards, these haven't been available on domestic routes for many years and are no longer available on most international routes on Delta metal (except ex-UK, ex-France, and ex-Ghana DL flights). If there are no FCM online seat upgrade offers showing on this route, there is no way to upgrade with miles. The FCM mileage offers are just based on the cash FCM offer price at a value of 1 CPM for your miles. Agents cannot generate an FCM offer for you if there none currently showing on flight.

Has the quality of Delta Premium Select meals improved?
 

One of things I have consistently heard and seen in You Tube comparisons of the various Premium Economy class seating on various airlines on international flights is that while Delta Premium Select is overall very good, the one area virtually everyone agrees upon is that the quality of meals for Delta Premium Select is significantly lacking. I have seen numerous reviews say that Premium Select meals are not all that different than the meals that they serve in standard Economy.

I have seen reviews from as recently as March of 2024.

I have just seen a post that indicates that Delta planned to implement improvements to the Premium Select menu in March of 2024. Has anyone flown PS since March 2024?

Is there any reason to believe that the Delta Premium Select meal quality has improved at all?

Yes, (kids) flew PS ATL <> HND in June. We were in D1.
Food was actually okay - maybe better than okay - even with picky eater kids.
My wife switched with my daughter and ate her meal and enjoyed it.

Thank you very much for that, especially for the pictures!

How responsive were the flight attendants for offering snacks and drinks while on the flight at other than regular meal times?

Do you remember whether or not you had your own, dedicated bathrooms or did you have to share the same bathrooms used by those in Economy?

Do you remember what type of aircraft you were flying on? Was it an A330-900 or an even bigger plane like a 767? It might be easier to remember what the seating configuration was like in PS. Was it likely 2-3-2, or maybe 2-4-2?

Did you sit in the bulkhead seats? If so, do you think it was substantially better?

Sorry about all the questions, but you know what they say, "If you don't ask ..." :)

339 is substantially bigger than the 764...

1. Crew responsive: ATL > HND - very responsive. Japanese crew (or multiple were native Japanese, including Mikono-san). Including apologizing for a child meal (you can see the note under the meal).
Snacks were refreshed regularly. The cabin was really chill/quiet - the quality of PASSENGERS I think dictates how excellent a flight is, and my Asian flights (incl. Australia) have been very well behaved passengers, which means the crew looks better...
I prefer to sleep, so I can't compare; but my kids had multiple mid-flight pizzas (they were super accommodating) and drinks (juice, water, etc.). Also my son opened and closed the shade a bunch, and no one yelled at him.
2. Own dedicated (PS) bathrooms: D1 has the bathrooms in the front; PS has the bathrooms also in front of the cabin. There was literally little to zero people traffic, nor were people backing up/waiting. But I think anyone can use them.
Side-note: bathroom quality was okay, not great.
3. Aircraft: We were on an A350-900, the Delta version. I've flown PS on the A350 (both transatlantic and transpacific) and 767-400 (when they immediately came out of renovation in 2019).
A350 is 2-4-2. There is ample room in the center section... [continued below]
4. Bulkhead: Kids had bulkhead. Loved it. My son actually sat on the floor (I know, bad idea, esp. if there is last-second turbulence) for hours at a time.
Previously, we had the middle on a 767-400 (wife/son in bulkhead and me/daughter in the row behind; it's 2-2-2 in PS), and that was pretty solid, too. I actually prefer a seatback screen to the one that pops up.

Thank you very much for this detailed reply. My flight from Boston to London will likely be on an A330-900 so I am sure there will be few differences with your bigger plane. But this gives me a much better feeling about selecting the Delta PS option as opposed to a Virgin flight. Happy travelling to you.
