What Are Delta’s New Delta One And Comfort+ Cabins?

Delta, which is no doubt the greatest "innovator" of any US legacy carrier, put out a press release yesterday entitled "Delta Redefines Cabin, Upgrades Premium Economy Options."

Delta is taking the whole "redefining" thing pretty literally, because they're simply renaming BusinessElite (Delta's international business class product) as Delta One, and renaming Economy Comfort (which offers a few extra inches of legroom in the first few rows of economy) as Comfort+. Oh, and they're changing seat covers. Apparently we're supposed to be excited about that?

Here's a video outlining the new cabins:

Guerilla Dining: How Los Angeles’ Food Scene Has Gone Underground

Join Vagabondish on Twitter and Facebook.

Food trucks, flash mob-inspired pop-up restaurants, and underground supper clubs. In recent years – perhaps around the time the term “foodie” was popularized – professional and amateur food enthusiasts have begun seeking out more clever, tailored, gourmet dining experiences. Call it an “anti-restaurant” backlash against the sterile, staid, and predictable eateries that host most modern […]

When Should I Freeze My Credit Reports?

Preventing a credit reporting agency (Equifax, Experian or TransUnion) from releasing your credit report information without your explicit consent is more commonly known as freezing your credit report. Freezing your credit report is not the same thing as placing a fraud alert on your credit file, even though the terms are (unfortunately) often used interchangeably. […]

Furry Convention Evacuated To Dog Show At Hyatt Regency O’Hare

In October I shared my single favorite thing about living in hotels. It's not complimentary non-fat cappuccinos and egg white omelets in the morning. It's not never having to make my own bed. It's not massive suites.

Instead it's conventions. There's nothing quite as amusing to me as randomly ending up in the middle of a thousand person special interest convention.

From Hot Wheels Conventions to cheerleading conventions to biker gang conventions, I think I've almost witnessed everything.

The one thing I feel like I haven't yet witnessed is a furry convention. For those of you not familiar with furries, here's a good rundown NBC did:

American Lie Flat Business Class Seats Coming To 757

As part of their "Going For Great" campaign (a slogan which I find peculiar yet remarkably honest, since American is admitting they're not great), American announced $2 billion in customer improvements over the coming years.

Now, a lot of the stuff in the press release has already been announced and is in the process of being implement. While American has a lot of faults, the transformation they've been going through has been really fun to watch. I remember a few years back when American had 400 MD-80s. To think how far they've come with the 777-300ERs, the new 737s, the A321s on transcons, etc. -- it really is a pretty radical transformation.

What else can we expect from American?
