Delta Air Lines is improving the premium travel experience
for passengers as it begins rolling out new first-class seats on select
refreshed Boeing 737-800 aircraft this month.
The new first-class seats originally debuted on Delta¡¯s
A321neo aircraft and will now provide travelers on some 737 planes with more
privacy, additional stowage space, a sturdier tray table and enhanced comfort.
The airline will also refresh Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin
on select Boeing 737-800 aircraft, including the addition of upgraded Panasonic
seatback screens, improved lavatories with touchless features and split-scimitar
winglets for fuel efficiency.
¡°Delta is committed to creating a consistent and elevated
customer experience across all touchpoints of the travel journey, which
includes offering the best products for our customers while in-flight,¡± Delta Brand
Experience Vice President Mauricio Parise said.
¡°Enhancing our aircraft interiors with select retrofits will
give customers more premium options to choose from,¡± Parise continued.?
In addition, the carrier is expanding the Delta One cabin on
its fleet of Airbus
A350-900s by adding eight more lie-flat suites to the long-haul jet. The
planes will soon feature 40 Delta One Suites, 40 Delta Premium Select cabin
seats, 36 extra-legroom seats in Delta Comfort+ and 159 Main Cabin seats.
The first modified A350-900 aircraft is expected to enter service
in Summer 2024. ?
