Delta Air Lines is in the process of retrofitting its Boeing 777 aircraft to offer Delta Premium Select and Delta One Suites on more of its international routes, including Johannesburg-Atlanta.
“By 2021, all our international wide-body aircraft will be equipped with these cabins,” says Katie Hulme, Delta’s Corporate Communications Manager, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Delta Premium Select gives passengers more personal space, with up to 97cm of pitch, seat width of 47cm, 18cm of recline, and adjustable leg and head rests. There are also pillows, blankets, TUMI amenity kits and meals have been upgraded and are now served on Alessi service ware.
In the meantime, Hulme says Delta Comfort+ is a popular travel option out of SA. “The seats are available on all Delta’s African flights and offer customers a host of benefits, including 10cm of extra leg-room and more recline than Delta’s standard international main cabin. It also offers priority boarding and dedicated overhead bin space for storing carry-on baggage,” Hulme adds.
