Beginning next summer, Delta Airlines is going to offer “Economy Comfort” seating on all of its domestic flights.  The Economy Comfort seats, which are currently offered on international flights, will typically be the first 3-5 rows of the economy cabin and have up to 4 extra inches of legroom.  Passengers sitting in Economy Comfort will also have the option to board the plane first, with the business or first class passengers.

Economy Comfort seating will be free for those who pay Delta’s higher fares or for those who are Gold, Platinum, or Diamond members of SkyMiles.  For other travelers, it can be purchased for $19-$99 per flight (depending on distance) through Delta.com or an airport kiosk. Or, you can let your Amtrav travel consultant know you are interested and we’ll be happy to make all the arrangements for you.

The Economy Comfort enhancement is part of a $2 billion investment Delta is making through 2013 in order to upgrade its airport facilities and in-flight experience.
