"horribly uncomfortable"
Angela Bilyeu (United States)
The seats were horribly uncomfortable on both parts of my trip. They want you to put carry-on items under the seats, but the seats are so close that it is very difficult to get them out again. And, if you do get things out, you are probably going to hit your seat mate. The aisles are so narrow that even really skinny people hit other travelers when they walk down the aisles.

"cannot recommend this seat"
R Leland (United States)
The rows of seats are placed so close to each other that it is extremely difficult to get seated with so little room. In an emergency evacuation, I would not be able to get to the aisle without assistance. When the passenger in front of anyone sitting in this section (first class) reclined his/her seat, it was impossible to get the tray table to clear the reclined seat. I wanted a first class experience; Delta refers to this class as Premium Economy. It's much, much more about Delta's economy than it is about being premium. I cannot recommend this seat (and its additional expense) to anyone.

"legroom is unbelievable"
J Rodriguez (United States)
What has happened to Delta's seat pitch? The legroom is unbelievable, there is none! I measured the distance between the front of my seat and seat in front and width was the exact width of my IPad width! It looks like they've also put another row into 1st class on their 737's as well. They have now gone to the max limit of uncomfort now! After years of using Delta and being a Diamond status member, I'll have to call it quits with them.

"too high seating"
C Leakey (Canada)
Not a fan of Delta Airlines. Over the years whenever I've flown with them, they've been consistent showing me why I should not fly with them from mud in a salad to the non-ergonomic too high seating on their larger planes that left my feet dangling and knees stressed resulting in cutting off blood circulation and swelling up my legs, ankles and feet. I took off my shoes to try and reach them to plant my feet on the floor. That still wasn't reachable. I couldn't stretch my legs with comfort and the recline button was stuck. The steward tagged my bag at the dock but didn't say anything and I found out later the tag meant to check it but I didn't because they didn't communicate that verbally with me. There was enough room in the overhead storage anyhow. Attendants constantly hit my shoulder when I had the aisle. Old planes with old technology. I am 5'4" and fit. I hope to never fly with Delta again. I hadn't in years but the past two trips I did.

"I was completely ripped off"
Stephen Smith (United States)
I am tall at 6'3", but my legs are not that long 32" inseam. I always pay extra for premium economy seats. On most airlines the extra premium is worth it. I usually have an extra 4 to 6 inches between my knees and the seat in front of me. However, the Delta Comfort seats are anything, but comfortable. My knees were jammed up against the seat in front of me, which was not fully reclined. The poor lady in front of me who also paid extra for a comfort seat couldn't fully recline her seat because my knees were jammed up against her seat. The premium for "comfort seating" on this trip was $386.00 round trip Pasco to Detroit. I think I was completely ripped off. It looks like maybe an inch more of leg room than regular seats. Looks like what they did was cram the economy seats even closer together and the few seats they didn't they call "comfort seating". I call it false advertising.

"3+ hours of pure discomfort"
1 reviews Nick Carter (United States)
3+ hours of pure discomfort. Usually I try to upgrade to first class, however, it proved too cost prohibitive. Actually the price was way out of line for a plane that last saw the assemby line in the early 90s. Shoehorn comes to mind when describing my seating arrangement. I think the published 31-32 pitch and 17.2 seat width are a tortuous proposition. The only positive was that the flight from MSP to TPA was non-stop as was the return.

"most uncomfortable flight of my life"
Gretchen Keenan (United States)
I am sitting in an Aisle Exit Row of a Boeing 757-200 airplane, halfway thru a 3.5 hour flight, and am having the most uncomfortable flight of my life. I am 5'6 and medium build. The leg room in the exit row is good, but the shoulder/arm room (side to side) is terrible. On the aisle side, everyone who goes by, including flight attendants, hit my shoulder and arm. On the other side, a larger gentleman (not fat, just large build) is encroaching on my personal seat space. This situation is unacceptable.

"seats were roomy"
1 reviews M Carpenter (United States)
The seats were roomy, with almost a full arm length before I could touch the seat back in front of me. The width was a bit better than average. The Bad : seats seem to be made of a molded, hard plastic, with a thin foam-filled cushion placed on top. Initially, when you sit in them, they feel ok, and supportive. However, when you're spending eight hours in one, the thin foam cushion quickly loses any cushioning ability. Additionally, the seat recline moves the actual seat as well as the seat back, which puts your back in an unnatural extension. This is ergonomically very unhealthy. Resulting backache for 3 days. I have friends who only fly Delta. They've invested in a $75 seat cushion to alleviate their in-flight back pain.

"seat was pretty wide"
1 reviews Max Howard (United States)
I found my MSP-NRT flight to be comfortable for economy. Seat was pretty wide and there was great legroom. Recline was okay too.

"the worst flight I've ever had"
Luke Fisher (United Kingdom)
LHR to LAX was the worst flight I've ever had in my life. Seats were rock hard and my backside was numb with pain for the entirety of the flight. The Media screen was tiny and was not working properly . The earphones they handed out are a disaster. The whole plane feels And looks dated.
