Earlier this year I was thrilled to introduce Delta’s newest onboard product enhancement, Economy Comfort, to everyone here on the blog. Over the past several months, the men and women of Delta TechOps have been working hard to ensure the entire international fleet is outfitted with Economy Comfort in time for the busy summer travel season. As usual, our Maintenance and Engineering pros didn’t disappoint! As of today, May 5, 108 of 170 planes are complete, with the remaining 62 scheduled for completion by June 1.
You can now book Economy Comfort seating for travel on or after June 1. For more details on booking and pricing, check out delta.com.
