Airplane seat reviews by Ethan Lathan

This aircraft is very comfortable for short-range transoceanic flights, but for 10 hours it gets slightly uncomfortable. Although the pitch and recline is more than adequite for eating, working, watching a movie, etc, the recline is not conducive for sleeping seeing as it is not flat. Also, while the seat is quite nice and padded, the width is not good. Also, if you are not flying with someone, the space between seats (shoulder room) is not sufficient; although it's fine if your flying with someone.

Even though the flight was short, the seat was quite nice! The pitch was greater than the rest of the Delta domestic fleet at 40". The seats that have been re-vamped with all leather are excellent because they offer a very nice recline with good padding as well as incorporating the new AVOD.

For a 757 on an international flight, Delta's are about the best that are out there. Although UA's PS service is exquisite, they do not provide international service with that aircraft. The seats were very comfortable with quite adequite width and pitch. Although the recline was a little sketchy, the last row I have been told offers limited recline. Even though the galley and lavatory are directly behind, the noise and associated traffic is little because they are used mostly by economy class. Also, the view is quite nice becuase there is nothing obstructing it.

A very enjoybale experience which quite surprised me coming from US Airways. Although 1A is the bulkhead, I still found the pitch quite sufficient, even above average. The seat width was excellent along with the recline. However, the seats were starting to look slightly worn. I believe it is time for a new F class product on US.

For a domestic first class product on an MD-90, I was quite impressed with Delta! Because of the bulkhead, there is no one reclining into you and you have quite a bit more leg room which is quite nice on a longer flight. The service was very good, although the flight crew was not. The seat was extraordinarily confortable and with the added bonus of in flight entertainment made this aircraft quite enjoyable.

For Delta, this airplane is a let-down. While the trans-continental/oceanic configuration is quite nice, this airplane in first class feels especially tight due to the increased depth of the seats (after the revamping of the interiors). Row 6 is missing a window (on the A/B side), so the view was impaired. The service however, was nice and the flight attendants attentive. Although the seat is quite comfortable, the pitch is insufficient for a first class product and accessing the aisle from the window seat is quite hard, especially when the seat in front goes into full recline. However, this was still nicer than many of the other US airlines domestic first class products.

A very nice flight overall. Delta's domestic first class product outranks just about every other US domestic first class product in my mind. The seat was very comfortable, and both recine and pitch were adequate. Although the recline was good and pitch sufficient, if the seat in front of you goes into full recline, it is difficult to access the aisle from the window. It was nice having the AVOD in every seat though, especially for a longer domestic flight. Both the meal and seat together made for a good flying experience.
