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:

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 […]
