Delta Air Lines customers will soon enjoy an improved premium travel experience as the airline’s newest First Class seat begins rolling out on select refreshed Boeing 737-800 aircraft this month. The innovative new seats, which debuted in 2022 on Delta’s A321neo aircraft, give customers more privacy, additional stowage space for personal items and a sturdier tray table, in addition to enhanced comfort.
“Delta is committed to creating a consistent and elevated customer experience across all touchpoints of the travel journey, which includes offering the best products for our customers while inflight,” said Mauricio Parise, Vice President of Brand Experience, Delta. “Enhancing our aircraft interiors with select retrofits will give customers more premium options to choose from.”
The airline will also refresh Delta Comfort+ and the Main Cabin on select Boeing 737-800 aircraft, with upgraded, 10-inch Panasonic seatback screens. Elsewhere on the aircraft, upgraded lavatories will deliver touchless features.
As customers increasingly seek premium travel experiences, Delta is also expanding the Delta One cabin on its fleet of Airbus A350-900s. The airline is adding eight more lie-flat suites to the long-haul aircraft. With these modifications, the A350-900 will soon feature 40 Delta One Suites, 40 seats in the Delta Premium Select cabin, 36 extra-legroom seats in Delta Comfort+ and 159 Main Cabin seats. The first modified A350-900 aircraft in this new configuration is expected to enter into service in summer 2024.
