Delta's Business Elite® Transcontinental Service

[PerfectEggRoll]

obviously it goes from JFK-LAX OR JFK-SFO, same as United's ps

[PerfectEggRoll]

this is a ripoff to united's PS service

[bluetoad668]

delta SUCKSSSSSSSS!

[jaytduce]

Are you kidding me?.........what crap this is. For a real business class flight you can take almost any non american air carrier and do better.

[1220macho]

I once went to tht plane i slep good

[chriscolumbianyc]

Sorry, I DON'T EVER FLY on non-professional non-union airlines like Delta.

If the employees care so little about themselves on the ground to note vote for the AFA, then I can only imagine how little they care about passengers in the sky. Besides, the best trans-con is on United P.S. service. And yes, UNITED is fully unionized, and it shows!. 

[AgentPepsi1]

@chriscolumbianyc

I will not support ANY union or unionized company if I can help it.

[FlyGuyDL737]

I wasn't saying that this was bad, I just don't recommend it. The long haul business elite is much better. And yes, this is better than most domestic business classes .

[FlyGuyDL737]

I don't recommend this type of "Business Elite" because:

a) If you want to sleep, the seat leaves you in a very awkward position with your legs hanging downwards over the seat.

b) The seat only offers 150 degrees of recline, which is better than Economy, but uncomfortable for sleeping.

c) The Business Elite cabin is overpriced on almost every Delta flight

Try to avoid this cabin, and this plane if possible...

[ZombaJuice]

@FlyGuyDL737 You have a better option transcon? The flat-bed seats on the 764's/777LR's are better for long-haul international, but Business Elite for domestic flights is quite a nice product. This product sure beats the heck out of most other business class products, not to mention that Delta elites often get the upgrade to business for free.

[JohnRhysMusician]

@FlyGuyDL737 Couldn't disagree with you more. From JFK to LAX it is half the price per roundtrip ticket as United PS or American Airlines FIrst.

[FlyGuyDL737]

@JohnRhysMusician What you're comparing is AA and UA's highest business class fares, "F", to Delta's cheapest "D". The reason why it's half priced is because it's not fully flexible...

[JohnRhysMusician]

@FlyGuyDL737 Then why are you not able to find the fares that you are talking about?

[FlyGuyDL737]

@JohnRhysMusician What fares?

[mariaparkes1]

Has anyone been on the Delta flight, business class, from JFK to Malaga, Spain? They say it is the same type of plane as they use for the SFO - JFK flight. But Delta says it does not have personal videos nor a USB connection for the JFK - Malaga flight. And I can't get a straight answer on the phone from Delta either.

[Ludsy2001]

I just flew on Delta first class. I did so because this video got me very excited. What I got was a shock. The cabin was NOTHING like this video. Old hard seats that reclined 2, inches, no foot rest no leg room to stretch. We got the same cheap pillow and blankets that the main cabin got. Cheap earphones to watch a movie on the old bulky tv screen on the ceiling. Couldn't hear the movie because the noise in the cabin was so loud.. The meal was cereal or omelette. Never again.

[CathayGuy]

@Ludsy2001 should have checked which version of the 757 you were flying next time..

[lisehisakawa]

Isn't this what all transatlantic flights in the 90s were like (minus the USB chargers and WIFI on board)?

[pdquick1]

Joan Collin is a flight attendant for Delta now?

[HotelsNewYork]

@gsully224 i hate United!!! disgusting air planes!!

[ali11420]

Delta have much better service then any other airline in US going to west.. LAX ...NYC.... SFO where united just dont care about their Frequent Flyers.... i was united FF....... From NYC LAX NYC SFO ..... but not any more bcz they dont care.......Now i am delta Gold member i get treated like a king... delta has improve alottttttttttt hopefully they will stay the same............If i dont fly delta then AA is muchhh better then United........

[gsully224]

@ali11420 I go United all the way!!!!!

[planeb747]

Going to Bogota in on of these tomorrow!

[95BSMAN]

American Airlines is the best

have a 777 mia-lax with 3 class service and lie flat in first and business

[bdsnook3]

The flight attendant at 0:24 has definitely served me Biscoff cookies before!

[LAXFlyguy85]

Im sorry i have to say that this is a total gimmick. This new service by Delta is crap service and they are trying to copy United Airlines.

United Airlines was the first one to come up with true premium service on JFK/LAX/SFO flights actual lie flat seats. Delta is obviously trying to copy United and they cannot keep up. This service is a joke and its not worth it. I'll stick to United as they are known for better premium service.

[CathayGuy]

@LAXFlyguy85 With a do respect LAXflyguy Yes maybe United did come up with flat bed seatings does that mean every other airline needs to suffer, no they can attempt to enhance their service as well. One thing I gotta say is United's service is absolutely horrible compared to Delta who the flight attendants actually care about their customers. One thing we might be able to agree on is how crappy Continental is! In my own opinion I can't stand them!

[LAXFlyguy85]

@LAXFlyguy85

Aww dude, your comment is valid but it doesnt make it true or make Delta any better,

Delta sucks. I worked for Delta years ago, an airline who doesnt care about their employees and anti-union. United has always always been known for the best domestic and international service on premium classes out of all U.S airlines. Delta serves cold sandwiches to Hawaii while United serves hot dinner with real china, AND thick blankets in all cabins, not just a cheap piece of fabric. =)

[eabfsq]

Unfortunately DL's First Class is nothing to write home about, and never has. I fly them aprox 4 times a year between SFO and RSW First Class, and the service is not impressive. They just don't, and never have gotten it !

[rrz518]

I've been on this route (SFO-JFK-SFO) several times now. Definitely Delta's best domestic product, by a longshot. Redeye is nothing special, though, except for the good seat, blanket, pillow,  etc.

[rickymo57]

These are the original business elite seats but cleaner.. This is not a product enhancement but a marketing gimmick. The only good seats this airline has is the fully flat beds to LHW, SYD and other long haul destinations and even the problem with this is that the service is still Delta...yuck

[thatairlinereviewer]

@rickymo57 Actually this is a product enhancement, these are brand new seats and with more leg room.

[America2France]

I'm going to be on a Delta flight from Detroit to London in a couple of weeks. But it's coach. meh....

[troypolamal43]

My dad boards from the breezway cause he a lifetime silver medalion

[myrnaloysboy]

The guy in the purple jumper jumps from seat to seat........

[snoopyloopy]

@myrnaloysboy they all do lol

[myrnaloysboy]

@snoopyloopy I only noticed him - he's the best looking lol

[mtdew123456789]

Delta FTW

[fspilot357]

i hope i can get on a Delta Flight soon, ZRH-ATL (or JFK) :)

[vballsetter1]

These seats are great!

[kafeguru]

rating 5 stars

[kafeguru]

Amazing! I really like this video.

And thanks for the information on which flights are available this service.

I like Detla Airlines, one of The Best airline in The World.

Greetings from the Czech Republic.

Jakub..

[Outsourcingfighter]

Nice, got to try that!

[lilmetsboy06]

is this also available on JFK-SLC??

[emilyrichgal2]

Ok um i was wondering if these are on flights from san francisco to honolulu because i was gonna go to fiji from continental now lol. no more air pacific -_-

[TheCannonofMohammed]

I've tried all the airlines, and I'm going back to Delta. This airline is just a good, solid carrier with real class. They also offer "Breezeway" boarding for their first class cabin which is a real boon to the business traveler. NO OTHER airlines offers "The Breezeway"!!!!!!!

[johndavidsimmons]

Um, all legacy US carriers offer an elite boarding lane.

[TheCannonofMohammed]

Of course, but NONE of them calls it "The Breezeway". I'll take Delta w/Breezeway over any of the others.

[tghrope]

This is such a welcome change on Transcontinental flights. Now that this is available I'll use Delta more for international, knowing that the legs between SFO and JFK will give me the comfort that I need for such a long total journey. Delta keeps getting better and better, and my experience with them has been awesome. I'm sticking with Delta!!!!

[neoclassik]

OK, so anyone here who's flown Virgin America knows that they have the exact same seats in their premium cabin, and have been flying them around for over 2 years now... good to see that they are motivating the big guys to improve! As for me, I'm sticking to Virgin America

[emilyrichgal2]

Great seats :D

well all seats rock for me....

im sick of my dad never letting me get on economy -_-

i get sick of going on business or first ALOT...

when i do international flights i cant really talk to anyone -_--

BUT STILL GREAT SEATS :D

[hsienkangchen]

is this a show off message or what?

[valdeversay]

For those who travel more than the norm, flat seat should become a standard in any flight that is longer than 4 hours. Delta you should get with the program and be an innovator amongst the American brand airlines.

[gavinusa1]

What I don't understand is just because there's no competition domestically, we Americans just have to deal with whenever the domestic airlines want to provide us with better service. Just look at Cathy Pacific or Singapore Airlines. I mean come on Delta, look at the airline rankings; there are no US carriers ranked higher than 3 stars. If you really want to come across as innovative, then you might want to learn from CX, SQ or even your Skyteam partner, Air France

[EpicSlug]

@gavinusa1 why dont you read? there is plenty of competition AA, UA and VA all fly these routes this is a DOMESTIC BUSINESS CLASS! not international you cant compare it to singapore delta and united have mych better flat seatsin there international business class this is only for DOMESTIC flights.

[CMGunn1911]

Those airlines are pretty new, specialize in long distance travel, and some are government owned airlines. Lets compare apples with apples.

[BandoNintendo]

As much as I love Delta, lets face it folks: Airlines don't invent seats. They buy an interior package from a company whose business is designing and outfitting cabins for airlines. The seats themselves are off-the-rack.

[80stvthemes]

The new first class seats are great, just flew it this weekend. I would consider it more often if they upgrade the food. Competitors are offering a full appetizer course on this route and 3-4 entree selections.

[konigr]

Amazing! I love these seats, they're really comfy. I hope one day to work for Delta Airlines, even though I'm Australian.

[valdeversay]

THose seats actually are very uncomfortable.

Good luck with the job hunt, I hope you get it

[konigr]

Once again, Delta Airlines has done it again! These seats provide excellent comfort. The IFE is AVOD, which is spectacular on a long flight, as well as providing Wi-Fi on board is a great feature. Well done Delta, I am still a loyal customer after 5 years! :-)

[druhetcameron]

I lOVE DELTA!

[fsxaddictx]

i love how they copied virgin americas seat besides its way cheaper on virgin then delta for those types of seats and food and blahhh

[jz0310]

im pretty sure that many airlines have similar seats to other airlines

[fsxaddictx]

virgin america and delta have the exact same seats and exact same pitch

[jeremydrankin]

they didn't copy the VX seats... they're just using the same seats you find on many DL international flights

[fsxaddictx]

you dont find any of these seats on DL international :)

[jeremydrankin]

funny cause I was on DL flt 127 a couple weeks ago and I was sitting in one

[CMGunn1911]

not anymore, before flat bed seats, they used these types of seats.

[bryanb16th]

Anyone else notice the black guy switched seats? At 00:27 he's on the right side of the aircraft, by himself, at the window on his laptop, and at 00:51 he's on the left side of the aircraft, on the isle by another passenger. Just thought I mention that. Great videos Delta, I want to see videos on the International, Transcontinental, and regular Service in economy, not just the wonderful service in Businesselite, I want to see what enhancements have been made in the rear of the plane.

[kumaranyc]

I think a few passengers are switching seats - I am getting dizzy watching the video :)

[christopherwarsh]

wait.. you can change seats throughout the flight? really?

'cause you see the passengers in different seats in almost every shot =D haha

[coolharry1236]

delta airlines is like wal mart THERE TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH

[xmvirus202]

Very nice, Delta!

[wexfaron]

nice

[duranelton]

wish i was on that flight lol

[garlex134]

Kewl!

[samrammstein13]

Looks pretty nice - I could never afford it though!
