Economy Comfort: Behind the Scenes

[Escimoo]

Yeah like you would ever get a delta FA to smile at you and bend down at your seat.

[HamperedKnave2]

"Melissa Lacks" a normal accent.

[denziiey]

Any airline which owns Boeing aicrafts will be one of the top airlines....Rock on Delta airlines...best "American" airline and soon to be of world's top airline

[roundheaderaser]

I fly SEA-SGN 3 times per year ( Feb, Jun, Dec) for business and leisure. I chose airline base on air fare (number 1 in priority), time delay when changing plane (number 2 on the list), seat comfort (for long haul flight). US flag careers fare are low, but when you add up baggage fee and other fees, you might as well flight foreign airlines such as Cathay, Eva, Asiana where they don't charged you on baggage and provide you with more comfort than US airlines

[tithm9]

Delta's cabin is a joke compared to Asian/Middle Eastern/ & even European standards. Not just Delta, All American Carriers cabins are a joke. I've been on Qatar Airways and then stepped straight into American carriers as the next leg of my trip and the difference was noticeable immediately.

[albaniaismylife]

Delta is a friendly airline and all the staff are polite and actually give a crap and the food is ok too, but flying on it with four long haul flights you see why its more cheaper than other airlines, LHR-JFK JFK-LHR, JFK Terminal 2/3 is really bad and arriving you always have problems with the gates, 3/4 flights had ptv, but those 3 flights they had so many tec problems it was not worth bothering, 767 have a really hard landings and the worst part is the que for the toilets and the sfatey video

cry cry

[Bobloblawwww]

Fuck you charging our military for bags. I guess I know what airline I won't be using if I ever need to fly somewhere.

[patrikplanefan97]

@Bobloblawwww OK, FYI after they where charged for bags, they were refunded by the government. You can take your comments and shove them up your ass! Anyways I think you will only be able to fly southwest ;)

[wg40504]

@Bobloblawwww Your such a moron, other airlines where doing the very same thing

[Bobloblawwww]

@wg40504 What the fuck does "other airlines doing the same thing" have to do with "THIS AIRLINE"??????? NOTHING!!!!! Also..... In your little mind charging the military for bags is ok???????????? Think before you type..........it does wonders. You just won the moron of the week award. Grats!!!!!!!

[Aviationnation10]

@Bobloblawwww and Delta give actual food not peanuts and Coke and troops are people too should be trated no differently

[VicenteMosin]

@Aviationnation10 Well in the USA air carriers give exemptions to U.S. military - Delta's "actual food" on most US-Canada-Mexico-beach Latam flights has extra charges

[Aviationnation10]

@VicenteMosin Really? kind of Favouriteism

[VicenteMosin]

@Aviationnation10 Yup - If you check the baggage fee/baggage fee exemptions for U.S. and Canada: Delta, Continental, United, American, Southwest, Airtran, Alaska, Hawaiian, Frontier - active military personnel (often also their dependents get exemptions) - sometimes airlines give exemptions to media personel (Airtran and Frontier)

[Aviationnation10]

@VicenteMosin I never understood why travel is so expensive in the us and most is domestic! I find that crazy well I the Americans are big into the Milatry! a guy who pretended to be a soldier got an upgrade to first class on AA!

[VicenteMosin]

@Aviationnation10 AFAIK airlines are supposed to ask for ID before giving military benefits.

In the USA the actual cost of travel, while taking into account inflation, has gone way down. It was due to deregulation, rise of low cost carriers, the internet (makes price comparison easier), etc. Airlines are trying to get back pricing control by merging and adding fees.

[Aviationnation10]

@VicenteMosin but like I got a flight to London for €3 you will never get that in the us

[scottwalper]

@Aviationnation10 compared to 25 years ago, air travel is dirt cheap....

[Aviationnation10]

@scottwalper flights in the EU are much cheaper than the US still

[VicenteMosin]

@Bobloblawwww "What the fuck does "other airlines doing the same thing" have to do with "THIS AIRLINE"???????"

An airline is a business. If passengers prefer cheaper tickets and the other guys slash amenities, Delta will follow the money and do the same thing.

"In your little mind charging the military for bags is ok????????????" - It was all a misunderstanding :) - The current website says that military and dependents may check bags for no charge under certain conditions

[RickMakesGoodVideos]

@Bobloblawwww Fly southwest they support our troops!

[teriandjack]

Shame on Delta for screwing our our brave soldiers for profit.

[ZombaJuice]

As a young PM, EC is far better than the standard Y seat (and for free). I am excited to try the new product out next month.

[patrikplanefan97]

@ZombaJuice Its only free for 2011 while they are retrofitting them through out the fleet. Starting 2012 you well be able to fly for an extra charde, 60-120 dls each way.

[kweg04]

Does Delta ever use Medallion members in their ads?? That would be so fun!!!

[dtw777]

I coughed up the extra 80 bucks just to get a window seat on my MUC-ATL flight back home in July, but I don't think I will complain about the extra goodies along with it, and with it being 18G on a 764 as in the video, it looks like I made a good choice.

[JimboM1391]

@pianomanmaestro - all that is free on Delta flights.

[pianomanmaestro]

does Delta offer free coffee and juices, peanuts all that???? Or are you charged for everything???

[ddbryant8]

delta still sucks

[Mclaren3054]

@ddbryant8 no you still suck

[TheFsJunkie]

More Reclining Seats means more disgruntled passengers & a recipe for disaster waiting to happen Good one Delta....

[JackPham84]

at 0:33 ... good to see the Japanese flight attendant who is very nice ... she assisted me when i vomited on the airplane from Atlanta to Narita last December ... a cup of ginger soda from her help me a lot ... thank you and Delta ... from Vietnam

[scaremenga]

I thought the last woman was Deltalina. -_-

[fsx767]

@scaremenga Haha! The accent was almost like some SWA pilots

[maverick967]

Nice! I saw on eCrew that there was a 747 ferry out to MZJ(Marana Airpark), is that to get the new Business Elite seats or just maintenance?

[Mclaren3054]

@maverick967 i think they are doing both at the same time

[juanpablofx]

fancy!

[CanadianMapleLeaf01]

Good job, Delta Airlines.

[airplanegod]

Is that the 767?

[TheLiLD95]

@airplanegod B767-400ER

[airplanegod]

@TheLiLD95 Thanks!

[skidv25]

@airplanegod Yep, a 767-400ER.

[crapper1]

was this filmed in flight or was it on the ground and was it in atlanta?

[TheLiLD95]

@crapper1 It was filmed on the ground. It would be to expensive to pay for all that fuel and fly in the air to film a commercial. Not sure if it was in Atlanta or not. 

[DVA5656]

@TheLiLD95 It was in Atlanta
