for those flying delta - new section in economy

[disneyholic family]

Delta has just announced that as of June 1, some of their longlaul international flights will have a new section at the front of economy - "Economy Comfort" - with 4 more inches of legroom and 50% more seat recline than regular economy.

If you're flying delta to the states after June 1, you might want to check on this. Obviously, it's more money, but maybe it's worth it.

i have the email on my other computer, so i didn't cut and paste...
though the email i have is a bit different from yours..

i have the email that was sent to platinum FF...
not that i'm platinum....i'm not anything at delta...
but my mom is (she flies a LOT)...she's been platinum for a number of years (first with NWA, now with delta as there really is no other choice out of detroit)..

anyway, for platinum, the new class is automatic and free when they buy any level economy ticket...and it's free for their flying companions too...

doesn't matter to my mom as she only flies business on longhaul flights...
and domestic she's always upgraded to first...

she's trying to convince me to fly delta in august...
