Premium Select, the new suite on Delta Air Lines international flights
Business travelers are probably familiar with Delta Comfort+, an upgraded economy class that the passenger can book on domestic and international lines from the American company Delta Air Lines. A product that offers some advantages compared to the classic economy class such as an additional space of seven to ten centimeters between each row, more space for hand luggage, a greater seat inclination as well as priority boarding. However, if the Comfort+ class represents a definite plus for the traveler, we are still far from a real Premium Economy.
This product is gaining more and more followers. The carrier has only launched its “Premium Select” on certain routes served by Airbus A350. The “Premium Select” class offers a seat recline 75% greater than that of a classic economy class, 20 cm more space between each row, an integrated electrical outlet, a larger video screen, a catering service particular and finally, the possibility of using a dedicated check-in counter and priority boarding.
So far, less than a dozen lines have benefited from “Premium Select”, with 48 seats on some A350s. This is the case for the routes from Detroit to Beijing, Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo, but also those linking Atlanta to Los Angeles and since this spring from Detroit to Amsterdam. Despite the entry into service of an Airbus A350 between Paris and New York, passengers have to make do with the Comfort+ product.
The company has implemented its Premium Select across its entire long-haul fleet. This concerns all the Airbus A350s, but also the Airbus A330s, Boeing 777s and even the Boeing 767s, aircraft that are now more than fifteen years old.
