ToNew York-La Guardia(LGA)

This airplane is fairly comfortable in first class. Being that the seats are still remaining from Northwest, albeit with the blue leather seat covers, they are still very comfortable. It seems to me however that all the seats in first are simply bigger glorified coach seats. That being said they are still very comfortable for a medium-haul trip. The service on this flight was excellent as the lead flight attendant was very attentive and breakfast was offered in first class. However the lack of any in flight entertainment can make the flight seem a bit long at times, especially for those who don't bring things like ipods are personal computers.

I have to say, I flew on the 320 again and was not nearly as impressed as I was the first time. The aircraft seemed much older and much more run down than the previous aircraft I flew on; the seats being much more reminiscent of those on a 319 or DC9-50 than those of the other 320 config. Even though there are still 16 seats in F class, they are not nearly as nice as those of the other 320 variant.

ToHonolulu-Honolulu International(HNL)

These aircraft are perfectly suited for a high density route, especially one like HNL. The first class cabin is small compared to the aircraft and with two flight attendants and excelled AVOD, the five and a half hours flew by

This airplane is very nice, and with the new delta interiors it make for a very pleasant 45 minute flight. Also, the fact the tray tables are in the armrests in first class seems to create quite a bit more room.

FromMinneapolis-Minneapolis - St. Paul Intl(MSP)
ToOrlando-Orlando International(MCO)

I recently flew on a Delta (Northwest) 757-300 from MSP to MCO and found the experience rather pleasant. The flight was about 2 hours and 50 minutes and was very comfortable in first class. The seats thankfully had been resurfaced with Delta's signature blue leather so that made it all the better. Also, the IFE was used, even though it wasn't in-seat which was nice. The service was good, but as there was only one flight attendant working it for a full meal service, things ran a little slowly. Other than that, a very nice, new, and clean aircraft.

ToDetroit, MI-Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County(DTW)

If you can avoid this airplane, do it at all costs. If you have to fly it, fly in 2C/D. These seats are probably the best seats on the airplae becuase of a very large cutout in thebulkhead in front of you and no one reclining into you. Also, in the bulkhead seats, the tray tables are in the armrests as opposed to the seat backs which is preferential in my opinion.

This aircraft's first class is far superior to the other version of the 757 that Delta flies with only 24 seats in first class. First off; the seat design provides far more leg room than the other version; and this aircraft also has in flight entertainment; which for a flight longer than two hours really can make the difference between a good and bad flight.

FromHonolulu
ToAtlanta

The upper deck of this aircraft is very private which gives a more personalized feeling in the service. NWA's World Business Class is very nice on this particular jet. The seats, while they do not lie copletely flat, do lie almost flat and combined with the new blankets and pillows provided by Delta, this is a very enjoyable experience!

While these seats are very nice and comfortable for the short 1 hour flight from Orlando to Atlanta (and certainly better than coach), they would not be good for transcons because the leg room is less than that of the rest of the fleet.

Seat15F
FromSalt Lake City
ToLas Vegas

I realize that this is a low cost carrier and not to expect much from them, but still. While the airplane was clean and looked nice, the seats weren't the most comfortable out there, and they certainly wouldn't win any awards for in flight entertainment. So, for a short flight, they're really not that bad; however I would not want to fly them for any significant length of time.

FromNew York LGA
ToChicago MDW

This airpane is fabulous for a regional jet. The overhead bins can actually hold roll aboards! These seats, in my opinion, are nicer than most of mainline Delta. The recline is significantly more than anything I have ever seen in a domestic product, and the crew was nice and the airplane clean. These seats look really good also, and have a lot more padding than those of the CRJ-900. This is my new favorite domestic airplane!

FromAtlanta
ToChicago O'Hare

While these airplanes are aging, Delta has done a very nice job keeping the interiors new looking as well as comfortable. First class on this airplane is all leather (as with all of Delta), and the leg room is good. Even though this is a bulkhead, the leg room isn't much more than the normal seats, but there is no one reclining into you. The recline is good and you have a very good view out the window also. However, because you are right next to the lavatory, sleeping is not easy with the associated light and odor. However, a very comfortable airplane non the less.

FromChicago
ToHong Kong

This seat was nice and comfortable, but you can really tell the UA's seats are aging. While the padding was quite sufficient and the pitch and witdth good, the seat was almost delapidated and was not electronic; it's a very good thing that UA is redoing these seats. Otherwise, the flight was quite comfortable and the seat good, but after 16 hours, anything gets uncomfortable.

FromNew York JFK
ToChicago O'Hare

A very enjoyable ride on the comair CRJ-900. These seats are quite comfortable and a very nice thing to see on an RJ. The seats are very comfortable and the pitch average for a domestic first class product at 35"-36". However, these seats are nice because the A seats have both window and aisle access, and seem to have a bit more padding than the skywest version.

A very nice flight on the skywest CRJ-900. The bulkhead on this airplane gives about 3-4 inches more leg room at least which makes these seats in my mind very desirable. However, the skywest version seems to have flimsier seats in first class than the comair version. However, still very comfortable for a 45 minute flight.

Seat10A
FromAtlanta
ToLondon

These seats are really exquisite. As an extremely frequent Delta flyer, I have to say that these seats are the best of the "old-style" recliners fitted into business elite. Although the pitch and recline are the same as on the rest of the old style recliners fitted on the 767's, these seats have about 2.5 inches more width which really does make a difference on a 10 hour flight. However, the service was very good and the entertainment and seats very comfortable.
