In April 2016, Delta CEO Ed Bastian announced that a new Premium Economy cabin will be added.
Since renamed to Premium Select, this cabin will feature extra legroom; adjustable leg rests; extra
seat pitch, width, and recline; and a new premium service. Delta introduced it on its new Airbus
A350, first delivered in fall 2017, to be followed by the now-retired Boeing 777.[72] In October 2018,
Delta announced that it would be selling first class seats on domestically configured Boeing 757
aircraft flying transatlantic routes as Premium Select.[73] Delta's A330-900, delivered in 2019, also
offers Premium Select.[74] In 2021, Delta began retrofitting many of its 767-300ER and
older A330 aircraft with Premium Select.[75]
First Class

First Class is offered on mainline domestic flights (except those featuring Delta One service), select
short- and medium-haul international flights, and Delta Connection aircraft. Seats range from 18.5 to
20.75 inches (47.0 to 52.7 cm) wide and have between 37 and 40 inches (94 and 102 cm) of pitch.
Passengers in this class receive a wider variety of free snacks compared to Main Cabin, as well as
free drinks and alcohol, and full meal service on flights 900 miles (1,400 km) and longer. Certain
aircraft also feature power ports at each seat and free entertainment products from Delta Studio.
First Class passengers are also eligible for priority boarding.[67]
Delta Comfort+

Delta Comfort+ seats are installed on all aircraft and feature 34–36 inches (860–910 mm) of pitch;
on all Delta One configured aircraft, 35–36 inches (890–910 mm) of pitch and 50 percent more
recline over standard Main Cabin seats.[76] Additional amenities include: priority boarding, dedicated
overhead space, complimentary beer, wine, and spirits on flights 250 miles (400 km) or more, and
complimentary premium snacks on flights 900 miles (1,400 km) or more. Complimentary premium
entertainment is available via Delta Studio, with free headsets available on most flights. [67] On
transcontinental flights between JFK-LAX/SFO, Delta Comfort+ passengers also get Luvo snack
wraps. Certain Medallion members can upgrade from Main Cabin to Comfort+ for free right after
booking, while other customers can upgrade for a fee or with SkyMiles. [77]
Main Cabin

Main Cabin (Economy Class) is available on all aircraft with seats ranging from 17 to 18.6 inches (43
to 47 cm) wide and 30 to 33 inches (76 to 84 cm) of pitch. The main cabin on some aircraft have an
articulating seat bottom where the seat bottom moves forward in addition to the seat back tilting
backwards when reclining.[68][78]
Main Cabin passengers receive complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic drinks on all flights 250
miles (400 km) or longer. Alcoholic beverages are also available for purchase. Complimentary meals
and alcoholic drinks are provided on long-haul international flights as well as selected
transcontinental domestic flights, such as between New York–JFK and Seattle, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, and San Diego.[79][80] As part of Delta's Flight Fuel buy on board program, meals are
available for purchase on other North American flights 900 miles (1,400 km) or longer.[79]
Delta operated a different buy on board program between 2003 and 2005. [81][82] The previous program
had items from differing providers, depending on the origin and destination of the flight. [83][84] Prices
ranged up to $10 ($16.13 when adjusted for inflation). The airline started the service on a few
selected flights in July 2003, and the meal service was initially offered on 400 flights. [85] Delta ended
this buy on board program in 2005; instead, Delta began offering snacks at no extra charge on
flights over 90 minutes to most U.S. domestic flights and some flights to the Caribbean and Latin
America. Beginning in mid-March 2005 the airline planned to stop providing pillows on flights within
the 48 contiguous U.S. states, Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, and Central America. In addition,
the airline increased the price of alcoholic beverages on Delta mainline flights from $4 ($6.24 when
adjusted for inflation) to $5 ($7.8 when adjusted for inflation); the increase in alcohol prices did not
occur on Song flights.[85]
Basic Economy
Basic Economy is a basic version of Main Cabin, offering the same services with fewer flexibility
options for a lower price.[64] Examples of fewer flexibility options include no ticket changes, no paid or
complimentary upgrades regardless of frequent-flier status, and only having a seat assigned at
check-in.[86] As of December 2021, Basic Economy travelers no longer earn award miles (used for
redeeming free travel, for example) or medallion qualifying miles (which count towards elite status). [87]
