seat review by linton johnson #26259

Delta has great seats in the BusinessElite cabin of its 757-200 Transatlantic 5600 series planes. This usually operates between JFK and Salt Lake City and on short international flights. I've ridden the plane many times on the JFK-SLC route but never international. Most recently I took the flight on October 14, 2009. It's perfect type of seat for 5 or 6 hour flights. Longer than that, I would want lie-flat seats. The BusinessElite seats offer 160 degrees of recline, and are very large, leather and extremely comfortable. They come with a personal TV set, and a 3 pronged power outlet for laptops. Makes flying across the country very comfortable - especially if you are tired and want to somewhat stretch out. Also, because there's a very large distance between you and the seat in front of you, it's easier to get in and out of the window seat and scoot pass the person sitting next to you on the aisle.
