DELTA AIR LINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 767-300ER

Date :   21 April 2013

Review by : N Paolucci (Netherlands)

Amsterdam to Newark. Worst intercontinental flight experience I've ever experienced. Plane was extremely old, the seats were literally falling apart. I asked for a newspaper as there was no IFE and the flight attendant disappeared for the rest of the flight. Luckily I flew KLM on the way back which was a much better experience. First and last time to fly Delta airlines.

Old fashioned in flight system for a 10h flight was terrible.

DELTA AIR LINES "ECONOMY COMFORT" SEAT REVIEW - AIRBUS A330

Date :   18 January 2013

Review by : C May (USA)

Atlanta to Amsterdam. Sat in an outer seat in the middle row which I never enjoy doing. Entertainment system was broken for the entire flight and was practically useless leaving the flight to be more boring than expected. Dinner was alright but breakfast was mediocre and tasteless. These seats are definitely not good for sleeping and you arrive at your destination tired and groggy.

DELTA AIR LINES "ECONOMY COMFORT" SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 767-300ER

Review by : R Mercer (USA)

Spent the extra money for Economy Comfort. What an oxymoron. Older Boeing 767 without IFE, adjustable headrest or footrest. 10 hours of agony with seat padding equivalent to a horse saddle. Business seats didn't look much better.

DELTA AIR LINES "ECONOMY COMFORT" SEAT REVIEW - AIRBUS A330

Review by : K Rampton (UK)

We were sat to the rear of the plane and the journey Orlando to Manchester was freezing - and the aircon unit was so loud that my partner and I could barely hear each other speaking, let alone hear the crew when they spoke to us. Definitely planning on avoiding Delta if I can.

DELTA AIR LINES "ECONOMY COMFORT" SEAT REVIEW - BOEING 767

Date :   23 October 2011

Review by : Michelle Melroy (USA)

Delta has been making a big deal out of their premium economy, called Economy Comfort. The only differences are a little more legroom and a bit more recline and free alcohol. Seats are still very uncomfortably narrow, no footrest; yes the booze is free but no extra service whatsoever - may not be worth the extra charge for most people.

DELTA AIR LINES BOEING 767-300ER ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 6 September 2011 by  Karin Sanders   (USA)

The front row of economy (plus a few rows after) are labelled "Economy Comfort." These cost a bit more, but are advertised to provide more leg room and recline and free drinks domestically. However, since it is the front row, the tray table is in the armrest and therefore, the seat width is lessened. In addition, the tray table slid out as far as it will go is SO close to your body, you cannot move without the =danger of dumping your food and drink on the floor. I wrote Delta and requested a refund for the extra $120 I spent for this Economy Comfort seat, and it was granted. This was one of the most uncomfortable seats I have ever experienced in flying. DO NOT take first- row Economy Comfort on this equipment. Or probably any front-row seat in economy advertised as such.

DELTA AIR LINES BOEING 767-400ER ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 26 May 2011 by  Joe Noble   (UK)

This flight was from LHR to JFK and back, both flights were nearly empty making a quiet and peaceful flight. The seats are leather with reasonable recline - slightly reduced on return due to fact that I choose a bulkhead row seat. The seats had adjustable head rests, and reasonable size personal tv screens with free entertainment - I didn't like the touchscreen I prefer airlines that give you a remote control instead.

DELTA AIR LINES B767-400ER ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 11 May 2011 by  Kurt Ward   (UK)

This plane had recently undergone a refit and was in very good condition. The AVOD system was good and had touchscreen facility - although this touchscreen was very selective when picking up what you were telling it to do! The leg room was reasonable for the cabin class.

DELTA AIR LINES BOEING 777 ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 8 April 2011 by  Nate McGurk   (South Africa)

I found the 15 hour flight ATL-JNB relatively comfortable, in part to a small passenger sitting in the middle seat. This aircraft is a huge improvement in seat comfort. If you are big,k always go for an aisle in the center section so as to give the middle passenger a choice of who to force up in order to get out and use the facilities every two and a half minutes.

DELTA AIR LINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 31 December 2009 by  J Kramer   (Germany)

For a night flight these seats are horrible. Ways too little recline. There is a metal box under the seat in front of you blocking leg extension. Nice AVOD system, but since it is a touchscreen your seat jiggles when someone plays games for instance. That is annoying when you try to catch some sleep. No movable armrest on the aisle-side.

DELTA AIR LINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 15 October 2009 by  Judith Sriram   (USA)

For economy class CDG to CVG, the seat was adequate and better than on Air France B747 transatlantic which was very cramped and uncomfortable. I was lucky to have the seat beside me empty and I could lift the arm rest for more room. Aircraft had the large overhead screen (shared with everyone) instead of the private screen in the seat in front of you.

DELTA AIR LINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 11 October 2009 by  Steve Reszczynski   (USA)

The leather seats in Delta economy from Atlanta to Stuttgart and back were definitely less comfortable then the previous cloth seats. There was little lower back support (thank god for a pillow), the seats do not breath, so as your sitting there, you will sweat through your clothes, and worst of all, the design of the headphones they give and the headphone jack do not allow you to adjust seating position in your seat. One move, and the cheap headphones busted.

Row 43, right at the back. Poor legroom (I'm 6'1). On the way, we were seated in row 37 (one behind emergency exit) which seemed much better.

DELTA AIR LINES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 16 September 2008 by Casey Dalal  (USA)

Delta's new seats on the Boeing 767-300 aircraft are terrible at best. They are extremely uncomfortable, and aft of the overwing exit rows they are all misaligned with the windows. They do not have winged headrests, and because the windows are misaligned, you cannot rest your head on the wall next to you. Instead of typical recline, the seatback reclines partially and the seat cushion slides forward which in reality, offers less recline than typical economy seats. In addition, the legroom is very poor, except for the exit rows. All PTVs are touch screen, so when the person behind you is using the system it can become very annoying as you feel the tapping throughout the flight.
