Delta Air Lines announced it will add full-flat beds to its BusinessElite cabin on all flights between New York-JFK and London-Heathrow,
In a press release, Delta explained that with the expanded BusinessElite service it will offer customers:
- Fully flat beds with 180 degrees of recline and 77 to 82 inches of legroom in the BusinessElite cabin of all flights between New York and London.
- Popular cradle-style seats with 150 degrees of recline and 55 inches of pitch in the BusinessElite cabin on all transcontinental flights between New York and San Francisco and Los Angeles. These seats are the same as Delta’s business class offering on 757-200ER international flights and offer personal on-demand games, music and movies at every seat.
- Wireless Internet access for both business- and economy-class customers on all flights between New York and Los Angeles and San Francisco by the end of the year.
Also, the carrier announced that in September it will begin to introduce new BusinessElite service on transcontinental flights between Delta’s JFK hub and Los Angeles and San Francisco.
[...] Delta customers in Atlanta and Detroit also benefit from the BusinessElite enhancements with full-flat bed seats available on all flights between these hubs and London-Heathrow and Minneapolis routes will be added in September. Routes served with Boeing 777-200LR aircraft already feature full-flat seats, including flights between Atlanta and Dubai, Johannesburg, and Sydney (via Los Angeles).
