Class, Here Are My Favorite Upgrades

Key Points:

• Delta is introducing a new Delta One business class seat on its A350-1000 aircraft, set to debut on transoceanic flights from Los Angeles in early 2027, as part of a $1 billion fleet investment with 20 firm orders for the A350-1000.
• The new seat features an 81-inch bed with a reverse herringbone design angled toward the window for added privacy, sliding doors certified from day one, and several dedicated storage compartments for personal items.
• Delta is enhancing onboard dining with meals developed alongside Michelin-starred chef Simon Hulstone and Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson, offering a variety of gourmet options and premium beverages.
• The upgraded Delta One experience will initially launch on transoceanic flights from Los Angeles this fall, expanding across Delta’s global network by early 2027, and includes new door-equipped suites on A330 planes.
• While Delta has not yet introduced an ottoman-style suite for socializing or dining, the airline is monitoring competitor moves and may consider this feature in the future to enhance premium customer experience.
