Summary
Delta Air Lines will introduce a new plane with 44 first-class seats on June 7, a temporary solution due to regulatory approval delays for its planned lie-flat Delta One suites. The airline will deploy seven Airbus A321neos on four transcontinental routes from Atlanta, with bookings opening on February 21. The first-class cabin will offer a “distinct service,” with an extra oven on board to provide hot meals to all 44 passengers.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Delta’s oversized first-class cabin promises a premium experience, but with 44 passengers to attend to, it’s a logistical challenge. The airline’s “creative solution” might just be a clever way to fill unsold seats. The temporary configuration will be a fixture on transcontinental routes from Atlanta for the foreseeable future. And, of course, those extra-legroom Comfort seats are still available for those who don’t want to splurge.
The trip promises a break, but only if you’re willing to pay for it.
