Delta's International First Class (BusinessElite) JFK-ZRH [Trip Report]

[MrRandomppl]

This flight is comparable to an Emirates flight in their a330 First Class.

Really...

[supersonicbird11]

Hate to say it, But DL Biz class sucks, i flew it to Paris a few years ago because it was non-stop, boy what a diff between this and BA ! BA Biz Class is simular to a real first class cabin with flat beds, great champange, and food and even afternoon tea service. their first class is 5 star....I do miss Concorde however... !

[TheChillFlight]

song?



[TheChillFlight]

with wich progam you make this video?

[corner559]

Wow, Delta really needs to upgrade their seats. They're WAY behind the other airlines. 

[scanmannz]

Nice video but I don't think that's comparable to Emirates A330 F product, more like J (which is 2-2-2 on the 330), on the A330 F is lie flat, with a seat about 50% wider than that.

[emiratesa380man]

FLOPPPPP Huge seat pitch!!!!!! , but shit seat! Look at the Emirates A380 first class. That is first class at the best. ;-)

[airplaneHD]

WOW!! In first class you get free water :o

[Greatshow09]

@airplaneHD Yeah every time u fly u do. And my dad works for delta so everything delta is FREE!

[DMEAD123]

all that stuff is not free you pay for it with the ticket purchase!

[airbusisawesome]

That sounds great! I've only flown first class three times, and all were free upgrades because they didn't have enough economy seats! :) Once on an NWA 757 on which I vomited due to high turbulence and having been on a turbulent, hot CRJ flight earlier that day. The other time I flew first was on an NWA DC-10 from Amsterdam to Detroit (I think? maybe Newark or MSP?) anyway, I don't remember that one at all. I was too young. And the third I forgot where or when. But all was fun. :)

[pbcmbeez22]

i was in coach on a continental 767. It was comparable to first class on any smaller plane. It was nice. I've been on first class in a 737 three times, and a 757 for delta once. But it wasn't the international plane, so it wasn't as nice.

[plsniper]

What??? JFK to ZRH on a 757??

[eckligt]

Thumbs up if you also hated the music :-)

[amor091505]

i love aa my lovely airline

[pendulumrulez]

LOL RECARO SEATS!

[fanmusclecars]

@pendulumrulez

surprised me too.

Thought Recaro only made car seats.

[emiratesa380man]

rubbish first class you should fly emirates like me you will see there first class SUITES. Much bigger televisions and lounge /bar on most aircraft

[airlinenews]

why did you give the seat 4/5? you seemed to like it

[gunspinner101]

do you have to pay for the food on the menu?

[fsxaddictx]

@gunspinner101 of course you don't, it's frist class.

[gunspinner101]

@fsxaddictx so you know, I went on jet blue a couple weeks ago and we got unlimited snacks, drinks, and meals. And we were on the BACK of the plane.So yeah.

[gunspinner101]

@fsxaddictx and we didnt pay a cent.

[fsxaddictx]

@gunspinner101 jetblue only does free snacks, soda, and water. They only do free meals to compensate of something went wrong.

[gunspinner101]

@fsxaddictx when we went on, nothing went wrong. it wasent like they let us have EVERYTHING on the menu. they just let us have unlimited sandwiches and candy. but not the actual meal.

[fsxaddictx]

@gunspinner101 haha yeah thats what jetblue does

[chrisman803]

how odd i flew an international flight from vancouver canada to osaka japan not first class and i got all of that pretty much

[deltadude57]

nice video! I fly into Zurich 24/7 from Atlanta. We use the 767-300ER.It's 2-2-2 in business class. The seats are a bit bigger and the controls are on top of the center console. Everything is pretty much the same besides that. This video was really good!

[TVLosonee]

Poor first class seats!

[invertballer12]

the headsets you didnt get to keep right? cuz i went to hawaii and i was on first class and they didnt let us keep them...and the E means Etops

[ferrarijlo]

Nice vid but awkward music XD

[iflydelta1101]

One thing i learned from sitting in Delta's Businees elite don't drink both of the bottled waters :/

[Dilemx]

I have a question hopefully someone can answer:

Which airplanes from Delta, offer wifi and the little amenities bag?(like how do you get them) or do they all? and include the games and tv etc on the back of the seats? thanks!

[gemimijets13]

this is a great airlinne

[virgiliofi]

[yellowlab212]

[excaliburjakov]

[vballsetter1]

[Planeboy13]

great video, i am a fan

[dechm4af]

so you have a nice view...just like the people in coach...what is the difference?

[fspilot357]

good vid, love delta, hope i can get on the 757 this or next summer from ZRH to JFK and back, Delta rocks!

[bryanb16th]

@Dilemx On the website just select business/businesselite. based on the flight and route the correct seating will be selected. The fare codes are: M.Y.B for un-restricted coach with an upgrade for 20,000miles. F,J,I,P are business never seen "S" A,C, are special codes

[patrikggggg]

what is this song? :)

[NYCBLATINO27]

a song by M.I.A

[stejensen]

Delta Air Lines is the best airline of 2010! They have came so far with the merger with NW, the aquisition of building up its New York flying with added JFK flights, and the new LGA hub, and the huge joint venture with KL/AF/JL...Delta Air Lines is positioned the best out of any carrier in the world with these assets, and soon enough they WILL post profits. In the end Delta will succeed.

[shqipe1996]

how can people not like a first or busieness class! compare them to coach and they're HEAVEN.i would trade a coach seat for a delta firstclass anyday

[rparksbrown]

I have flown Delta's Business Elite, and I am not a fan.

[peteboy1113]

nice vid but. i plan to go to bkk, in march for 2 weeks. delta does not fly there. i want to fly in buss long haul class. i will use -b a- i think.

[saki15300]

This is the most stupid song I've ever heard! Nice video but idiot song!

[peteboy1113]

yes music stinks, it shoud be come fly with me, by frank sinatra.

[ricardocerdawaak]

you need flight in LAN!

[EpicSlug]

@ricardocerdawaak yea, because LAN fly JFK-ZRH i think not.

[emilyrichgal2]

I hoe you enjoyed your flight :D!!!..

Delta is like an awesome airline..

I cant wait to take delta first class to go to honolulu because im gonna start going to fiji on continental.

oh and btw i can fly business or first on delta because my dad works for them.

well anyway hope you loved your flight :)

[jimmah55555]

WOW - American airlines sure are crap compaired to the rest of the world....

[quazimutato]

I don't know how you figured 8hr 40 mins from JFK-ZRH...i've flown the route a number of times on a DAL 757ER, it's never more than 7 1/2 hrs, especially eastbound.

[AirlineReviews]

Maybe you had some nice tailwinds :)

Acctually, I got the time from a flight tracker website because I forgot the time the flight took. I went thru some of my old photos of this exact flight and there was a picture of the TV screen and it showed we were 7:30 into the flight, with like 10 minutes till landing so you may be correct.

[madi261]

omg im 10 and ive been on 20 flights and i started going on planes sense i was 4 and been going on planes by myself sense i was 5

[sailindude1221]

so? im 14 and ive been on over 70 flights

[mafutero111]

the plane in the beggining, first of all is not JFK-ZRH. It dosnt have winglets like all 757 ETOPS (ENGINES TURN OR PEOPLE SWIM) do. The first class is ok on this but you should see the 767 or 777 lfight to direct from ATL to NRT in Japan.

[Turkishairlines28]

turkish airlines is good to

delta is good

[ParkerLiberty]

Song name?

[737823]

DL is way behind times with their recliner seats.  Even there new lie flat seats aren't great. No comparison to Singapore or Cathay Pacific

[CMGunn1911]

How can any US Airline compete with Singapore when they are government owned airlines?

[emirates202]

or Emirates!!!

[737823]

Whether or not they are government owned is beside the point Having flow SQ, EK, LH, QF, AA, BA, IB in their premium classes point is DL is light years behind. Why would I want to fly across the atlantic in a recliner seat? AA's flagship suite international first class product certainly is competitive, maybe not with EKs but certainly with European carriers.

[emirates202]

thats true but Emirates is one of the best airlines and i dont uunderstand y they dont have 5 stars. Most european airlines suck, but emirates rocks

[jsr5668]

I was actually on this flight. I was in the first row of coach and it was very comfortable.

[funnorthwestboy]

Pre-takeoff drinks?

[konigr]

That Business Class is way outdated compared to Emirates or Etihad, but looks decent :) how's economy class?

[AirlineReviews]

The Economy class seats were extremely narrow for some reason, but they were new.

[emirates202]

not really etihad, but surely Emirates!!!!!!

[quazimutato]

That's becaue its a 757 narrow-body. The widebody fleet has lie-flat beds.

[wildkalaya]

Love the video.. awesome job

[ChileDDR]

awesome  video!!
