This is singularly the best example of what makes your channel a cut above the rest. Who else but Jeb would test not only the different cabin classes, but the seats within the class? Seat selection is such an important part of air travel, thank you for highlighting it!
@@GreenerGrass How can I get more info on the hack trick using the cargo website? I went to the website and found the flight list but can’t figure out how to book. Thx
I am a massive Delta fan, my favorite airline, and I recently got to fly on their A35L (ex. LATAM A350) in Delta One for the first time from Lima to Atlanta! Obviously I knew going in that I was going to fly on their flagship A350 but not in their amazing suites had me bummed out, but the Delta One experience was unbelievable, and those A35L Delta One seats are truly special!
I flew in first class years ago, I was upgraded probably because my original ticket had me seated in the very back of the plane but I have disabilities so the agent was extremely kind to move me to something better. Little did I know I'd get such a big upgrade. What a treat!
@@TheTopG17 This is what I usually get as well. I was surprised that Delta would put this version on the LAX-JFK route. You would think they would use the NEO. This seems like an important route between two entertainment cities. That said, I have don't this route many times and the seats are ok -- very first world problem, but I prefer the privacy and size of the NEO.
I have to say I recently flew the ex “LATAM” A350 and that the comfort more than made up for the 2-2-2 layout. I recommend center seats for single travelers and no climbing necessary.The service was top notch and I felt in no way less than.
@@cwg73160 I agree that quotes are not necessary, but they could have just meant it to emphasise the company name, or because it's an acronym. I doubt they meant anything rude to the company.
@@Anolaana No one uses quotes to emphasize acronyms. If they left out “ex”, the quotes would’ve been totally appropriate. Using them would describe the aircraft type within Delta’s fleet. I never suggested they meant any disrespect. I insinuated that they didn’t know how to properly use quotations.
Another trick to telling the difference between the A350s during booking from the flight details page is the Delta A350 is listed as A350-900 and the LATAM A350 is simply listed as an A350 in the flight details. Just flew on both. LATAM A350 conf to ATL and Delta config back to LAX. Loved them both for different reasons.
@@WanderlustingLawyer I was traveling with my wife on the flight so it was nice to have a window seat and a shared space with my wife. The 2-2-2 config in the LATAM A350 config is nice because it gives you the chance to have the window seat and sit next to your travel partner. When we flew the 1-2-1Delta A359 config we both had window suites but we were not next to each other so we could not talk. Also, the LATAM config felt very large and spacious. I think that is especially if you know the person next to you; however, I have also flown the LATAM config with a stranger next to me and still felt like I had enough personal space in the 2-2-2 config. As for getting in and out of the seat, it was very easy to get in and out of the window seat regardless of whether the aisle seat was upright, reclined, or in full lay-flat. The IFE was nice. There are more overhead bins in the LATAM first class config than the Delta cabin config. The storage bin under the footrest was also really nice to have Hope that helps! .
@@LAXTravels that’s so helpful, thank you! Especially knowing it still was comfortable ever when not traveling with a companion, as would be my case. Do you personally prefer this product over the 767?
Just wanted to let you know that I'm a current Delta employee and I just love watching your videos. They're always so informative while being so entertaining at the same time. It's fun hearing your opinions on our planes and other airlines' planes as well. Always gives me more insight to my own work while giving me insight on how others do it too. In fact, I've shown other employees of us your videos and they loved them too. I even showed my mom some of these videos and she always enjoys the wine glass cheers from you and Suzanne.
I'm flying Delta on March 6th to New Orleans. On my way to economy I'll make sure to steal a glance at Delta One and see how the more fortunate among us travels. Love the channel, keep up the great content.
Hey Jeb. Most of the Delta 767-300s have been retrofitted and look great. The paneling is just like the white on a a350 and the screens are very sleek. Love the videos!
Loyal viewer here. You put out some amazing videos. I love the comparison videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Jeb. There is so much out there, you help all of us become more educated flyers.
On my last trip (Hawaii) i booked Delta premium plus because of your review and it was right on . Definitely worth the extra $ . Your channel is awesome ! Thanks !
The greatest challenge when booking a Delta One seat is that post-booking, Delta inevitably announces a schedule change that somehow ends up changing the type of plane. What I've booked is seldom what I end up with when boarding.
I’ve flown to Hawaii in Delta One on all of these except the 757, and I would have to agree with your rankings. The A330-NEO is incredible, easily the best! I have to give some props to the A350 Latam though, as it was much better than I expected. If you can get over the complete lack of privacy, its really quite a nice seat. It’s extremely spacious (almost too much distance between the seat and the IFE screen if you want to put your feet up without lying down), and to help a little with the lack of privacy we just chose the last row. I would have no problem whatsoever choosing that seat again. I have to say, choosing which plane to fly when traveling is one of the funnest parts of the entire experience! Thanks for your videos Jeb, you always do a great job!
I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Delta One on the 767-300 and the 330-300. If for nothing else, do it for the flat bed and the catering. Imo that’s Delta’s standout on long-haul, the food.
Even the lowest rank seat is out of my price-range for the most part; I do love your videos. They are entertaining and educational. I love how you review airliners from Spirit to Emirates and other modes of mass national and international transportation. 😁
Since the 757 was introduced I wanted to "go left", but never had the opportunity until recently. Thanks to this video I knew how to find a 757 flying domestically with Delta One seats. Not only was I able to book that flight, thanks to an upgrade I finally got to see the pointy end of my favorite plane. Thanks Jeb!!!
Aaaaaand this video just became my bible. Super interesting tip about the cargo flights! Question though - how would one actually book that discounted ticket? I clicked on the link for cargo flight, and I can indeed see cargo flight schedules. But how would one actually book a discounted Delta One seat on one of these flights? Thanks so much for all you do!
@@GreenerGrass Thanks!! My companion certificate gets awarded at the end of May. That was going to be my East Coast to Hawaii play for next year. But I'll start doing my homework on the cargo situation to see if that makes more sense…
Thank you Jeb! My wife and I flew from LA to Hawaii several years ago and took I THINK the 5th place type style? We were also in th3 exit row so for two under 5’6” people it was still pretty great!
A350L are changing. When Delta got them from Latam, they decided to keep the seats until travel slowed down. This year- June 1st atljnb will have the first updated A350L product. 40 delta one seats. This will also help on payload operated flight out of jnb
I love how some of us cant even afford a budget airline flight yet still watch these due to how entertaining it is, Im not saying that its not informative but saying that his videos are very entertaining. Also, this video was also pretty useful for me since I got some inspiration for some seats to make with my new 3d modelling app. Thank you Jeb, your one of my favorite channels out there in youtube and a pretty underrated one
As a OneWorld guy, I was re-booked on a DL 767 CDG-ATL trying to get home last year when British Airways had a combo of security strike at LHR and a computer meltdown. I was stuck in Oslo and just wanted to get back to San Diego. Being used to BA Club Suites, I was shocked at the beat down plane I was riding on. The Delta Diamond sitting next to me called the seat "a war crime" and was definitely not pleased they were on it. Yes, it was lie flat, and yes I had aisle access, but man those cabins need to be sent out to pasture.
Thank you so much. I'm travelling soon with a serious back injury, so this is unbelievably helpful for determining which seat to choose. I just really appreciate how informative this video is. Thank you again!
Being on the other side of the travel experience (long time flight attendant at Delta), I had to chuckle at your number one pick. It is the most challenging for us as crew to work 😂. Good video none the less and I Would be psyched to see you two on a flight someday 🎉
Thanks for the rundown on all the Delta One versions. I can't recall the exact configuration when my wife and I flew from Buenos Aires to Atlanta (perhaps the LATAM version) but next month we will be flying in the flagship A350 from Amsterdam. Our outbound from Atlanta will be on KLM Business. Looking forward to the comparison. Enjoy your reports very much. Thanks
I flew from Minneapolis/St Paul to Tokyo (Haneda) in September 2024. It was on an Airbus A330-900 Neo (which I'm assuming is the same as the A330 Neo, which was also, incidentally, ranked in this video as having the #1 style of Delta One seats). I was in Delta One seat #7A. This was my first time flying in such a seat. I booked this more expensive seat solely because I wanted to be more comfortable, and able to SLEEP. (Normally, I can never sleep in traditional coach seats....) Having free drinks, supposedly 'better quality' food, more bags of snacks thrown at us, a basic (needless, wasteful) amenities kit, cheap (wasteful) disposable slippers, and even more privacy by way of being ensconced in a cubicle of sorts....none of this really matters to me, especially taking into account how little any of this impacts my overall flight experience, vs how much extra money I'm paying. And I really despise wasteful amenities being handed out, and which will only end up in landfills. (Please don't insult us, Delta, by trying to make us believe that the Made in China slippers that you gave us, and the extra bag of chips, factors into the additional money we are paying.) I already know that I'm going to feel like CRAP, regardless, when I arrive in Tokyo, so a good night's sleep is what matters most to me. But that was not to be in the cards for me, on this flight, or in this seat. Oh sure, this Delta One seat had different levels of 'reclining'. But even when reclined at its greatest level, it was definitely not flat, nor did I find it comfortable (and that was even after putting the extra padding that was provided, over the seat). In addition, the more flat that the seat/bed reclines, the more that your lower torso is pushed forward, and into a boxed-in section that sits below the seating/table area of the person sitting in front of you. Any time I tried to recline the seat more, I watched as my feet, shins and thighs were pushed forward into a coffin-like 'box'. If I lifted my legs a few inches, or tried to move them to the left or the right, they would hit the top or sides of the boxed-in area. As a claustrophobic, this was most unpleasant for me. Also consider that I am only 5'2" and 105 lbs. I can only imagine, therefore, how a larger person would feel in this setup. Granted, I am admittedly claustrophobic, so maybe other people wouldn't take issue with this. But for me, it was horrid. Not only that, but the PITCH of the recline, I did not find comfortable for my back. Net, net, I did not sleep well on this flight, and it was definitely due to the pitch of the seat, and the fact that my legs were boxed in. I would never pay extra money again, for a Delta One seat. On my return flight, I will be in a Delta Premium Select seat. I'll have to see how that goes. And... even though I'm a Delta FF customer (and have a Delta Platinum card), I just may have to consider looking into other airlines (American?) the next time I want to fly to Asia.
Jeb, what a pleasure to meet you on this flight, and I enjoyed my surprise mini cameos too! Great informative video, hope to see you in the skies again! PS Auckland, and the South Island, were as incredible as you said they would be!
My only Delta One experience has been on the 767-300, the worst direct- aisle seat they have on offer. Still, I got a Timi amenity kit and I still use the bag to this day, and the service was great.
Great vlog as always! Last time I flew DL was in may 1994 on the 757 ATL-CHS-ATL. At the time it was parked ca. 300 C-141 at CHS. It was insane to look at. Keep up the good work!
Flew the LATAM A350 to HNL last year and it was amazing. Yeah, the lack of privacy was unfortunate. But that seat! Legitimately felt like I was sitting on my couch at home. I’d fly that plane over and over again if I had my choice.
Recently flew ATL to LAX on the 767-400ER and for a domestic flight, I'm OK with what I had, but on a longer flight, I think I'd prefer an aisle biased seat. I almost felt like I was getting pressed against the window in the window biased seat, and the cushions were not the softest. As I said, OK for a domestic but international, I much prefer AA's super diamonds.
Love that Jeb score! I have been VERY fortunate in the past couple of years to be able to book 2-round trip DeltaOne trips. I thoroughly enjoyed the 767-400 (4D) but am looking forward to flying the A330-neo (4A) to Athens in the next few mos. It’s great to know what to expect, thanks!
I'm looking to fly on an 330neo this summer so it's super exciting to see they have the best Delta One seat! I'm hoping it will be my first time in Delta One too!
I would love to fly Delta again someday (flew them 25+ years ago), but my home airport only does 2 flights a day and they both head to ATL, whereas all my trips are south or west so American has better routing for me through DFW or PHX. Fingers crossed they add more routes someday. Cheers Jeb!
Thanks Jeb. You are bringing back memories for me. I flew a tom of Delta flights. Not so happy with the terminal in Atlanta, but I needed the exercise then. I do love hour videos always.
Awesome video Jeb! Bummed I couldn't spot your watch ;-) My only gripe with D1 is that if you want to use sky pesos to book, it is insanely expensive, like 300K miles or something. It is very difficult to get a D1 as an award ticket.
Jeb this video really helped as we are going to Barcelona in June and doing a MED Cruise but Delta changed our flights originally flying out of JFK but they changed it to Atl and it is a former LATAM aircraft and coming back we go through Amsterdam and fly back on a A330-300 (older version seats) to Boston. So at least now we have an idea. Thanks again Jeb.
Hey Jeb ! Great video as always ! You should do the same for Air France's Long haul Business Class which has 6 different seats I think, it could also be very interesting because even though Air France is often ranked as the best airline in Europe it really depends on which cabin you have for your flight especially in Business which is quite expensive !
Hi! Love your video! Question…We are looking to travel HNL.. it appears the only aircraft offered is Boeing 767-300. I don’t want to pay the Delta One price tag if the aircraft hasn’t been updated. Could I assume that if the aircraft offered Delta Premium Select as well that the aircraft is most likely updated? Does that make sense? I’ve seen some Delta One 767-300 where is looks dated and the screen display is older.
Love flying delta. Never flown delta one but looking at saving for a huge trip to japan for my daughter in a few years and this makes my choce for seats easier
I've flown the exposed (A350) and the dated (A330) configurations. I flew with my husband, so I actually preferred the exposed one because we were closer together. 😊
Also hot take - the OG delta one seats aren't enough better than premium economy to warrant the extra cost on any domestic flights. (And the list of international destinations where delta is the best deal for biz class is a short list.) Especially if you have the amex and can get into the lounge without a delta one seat. 76-4/350s/and 330 neos are worth it if you get a good deal.
These kind of seats are a must do for long haul flights like SJC to JFK or across the oceans, in my opinion! Even if you don't go to sleep, the extra comfort is priceless 🙂
Great video and info provided (as always)! It is funny how the LATAM A350's were just 'pressed' into service with minimal changes in order to save on acquisition costs. Still this is good info. Also I find it funny how you were saying that Delta needed to up their game in 'premium' lounge access for international 1st class passengers. Over the last 1.5 years I have compared Delta's regular lounge to American's lounge. And Delta's is head and shoulder's above the competition. Maybe a few tweaks are needed to meet the level of service between a 'Polaris' or 'Flagship' lounge, but that should be easy for Delta. Thanks, Jeb!
UAL 767-400ER (IAD/ZRH - ZRH/IAD) is pretty much my favorite. Economy Plus is just fine, no need to upgrade. Service by flight attendants is the best, they seem to be the best of the best. Just my opinion, but I thought I would weigh in on the opinions....UAL for INTL travel has my vote. Jeb is doing a great job...keep up the nice work! AAA+++
I have flown the A380 Latam version 3 times and I personally fine the seats the best sleeping seats on an Delta One product. If sleep is important this is the best, especially for larger guests.
We flew Delta One LAX to CDG at the end of September. Here is my rating: Check in--great, with exclusive Delta One check in door and security clearance. We just missed the new Delta One lounge, which will open soon. Unfortunately, that was the best part of our flight. Aircraft--Airbus A330 900 NEO with the latest Delta One Suites interior. Space--surprisingly cramped, particularly with the suite door closed. Footwell was pretty narrow. The seat was surprisingly narrow (barely enough shoulder room for me in lie flat) and uncomfortable, especially in lie flat. The armrest on the aisle side does not lower, so you are stuck with the seat width. Not really enough room for side sleepers. Bedding was OK but nothing special. Food--the flight attendants worked hard to make the service nice, but the food was just OK. Delta, raise the ticket price by $150 bucks and make the food special. IFE--new and high quality. Schedule--on time (of course, we spent 45 minutes in a crowded room at CDG waiting to clear passport control, and were rewarded with a course of covid to enjoy on our vacation). Overall, a disappointing experience, especially for the fare. On our return, we flew Air France CDG/LAX. We were expecting the new Air France business class product but due to equipment change, we got an older 777 with prior generation business class config. Still, although the seats did not have door panels and were a bit worn in places, it was a much better experience. Seats are a bit wider, way more comfortable and offered wider footwells and lie down space. Food was like going from Appleby's quality on Delta to a nice restaurant on AF. High quality dishes, nicely presented. Given a choice on this route, I would choose AF every time. Sadly, Delta is second rate by comparison. Even worse, I am sure that they spent big bucks to install their latest Delta One Suites, so they will be stuck with them for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for this great video. I just booked Delta One to Hawaii out of JFK and I looked into what the seat looked like on the 767-300☹️🙁 Good thing is I caught an incredible rate compared to what I was seeing for a direct flight to HNL. So, even though this will be my first lay down seat and it’s on a older dated plane, I still get some good private space for this 11 flight. I switched my seat locations to odd number after watching your video….Thank You!!!✈️🛩️🛫
Thank you so much for this!! Def helps in driving my decision on whether or not to purchase! Didn't realize they weren't all created equal! Odd/even insight is super helpful also!
Great video, I haven't gotten the privilege to fly D1 yet but I'm looking for opportunities in the future! Small avgeeky note: When distinguishing between subfleets of the A350, in addition to the seat map, Delta actually shows a different aircraft type. "A350-900" denotes a flagship A350 with their best seat. Simply "A350" denotes the former LATAM aircraft. Can be useful if the seat map is unavailable for whatever reason.
I remember one time I was travelling to florida from slc with a stop in atlanta. We got upgraded to first on the leg to atlanta which was on the old 767 delta one seats but by far the best flying expierence I had regardless.
I've flown the NEO in Delta One and the suites are awesome. Also, having an actual Purser onboard really keeps the service top notch. I think the NEO crews are the best Delta has.
Its probably just the aviation geek in me, given its age and relative rarity, but I absolutely love the D1 seats in the 767-400. Even without the door, I think its just as good as the A330-900neo. Given the 2 options, I'd choose the 764, but we unfortunately dont get those flying out of SEA. We did get them to/from Hawaii a few times during the pandemic, which was one of the few bright spots about travel during those days.
I've been on the 767-300 on the updated Delta One product similar to the 764 but I know not all of them have it! I'll miss all the 767s when they retire 🥲. Fabulous review!
Jeb, your videos are very helpful! We’ve got a summer trip booked for Rome on delta one suites based on all yours & Susanne’s informative videos… we are so excited excited!!!! Hope to see you in the skies
Hi Jeb, Are you able to recommend what the best seats would be for traveling on a long haul flight in Delta One with my young daughter (aged 8)? The flight we're looking at shows the reverse herringbone configuration, in which the window seats look like I would be completely separated from her....and that makes me uncomfortable. Whereas, many of the pictures of the center seats look like there is a partition between the seats. I guess my questions are, 1. Can those partitions be lowered? 2. Would we ultimately be better seated side-by-side in Business or Comfort Premium? Thank you in advance for any direction you can offer.
Flew Delta One from ATL to CPT (2023),On a 15 hour flight, No extra cushion on the seat for extra padding , just a pillow and a blanket; NO Pajamas. My suite door seemed to be a thin piece of plywood. AA gives you "bed" comfort and Pj's . Hoping Delta will upgrade their One service to compete with AA Flagship.
Thanks @Jeb Brookes, I have a mission for you. I know you love your train journeys.. how about doing the longest train journey available? Portugal to Singapore! It’d be an absolutely amazing video and experience that would take almost three weeks! Take us with you, this would be an epic adventure!!
I wanted to try the new Delta One check in at LAX and have lounge access, and also wanted to fly on a Boeing 767, so I booked a Delta One seat on the 767-300, LAX-JFK last fall (flew to LA from Seattle first). I really enjoyed the whole experience, but for an international flight, I hope to try Delta One on the A330neo sometime (Delta uses it from my home airport of Seattle-Tacoma). 🙂
I'm flying Delta One for the first time, in October. And it's out of jfk so I'm excited about the lounge and hoping that the dedicated tsa line will be open by then. We are flying on an A330-900neo so that looks to be the top spot. Yahoo.
Flew BC on the 330 over to Rome from Boston , the new lounge is ace. Loads of space and windows , views of the city and of the planes parked up. Flying BC on the 330 again - BOS to AMS in April and oddly looking forward to the lounge again and most likely by passing a meal on the flight for more sleep.
Monday I was flying the A330 from Las Vegas to Atlanta. This was my first time in a pod as I call them. Long story short as we were going down the runway things went wrong and the pilot had to slam on the brakes. It was very scary. We lost an engine we were told. So my first time flying in a pod lasted about 5 minutes and I ended up in the middle seat in Comfort Plus on another Delta plane and arrived home over 6 hours late. What a disappointment and a long day but grateful we were all ok.
To go to Amsterdam from LAX via Salt Lake City, I have nr 4 in your list. It's my first time traveling business class. I need to sleep on my way home, because my vacation ends 2 days later. I cannot afford a jetlag. Hopefully I will be able to sleep. But I'm sure I will be more comfortable than in an Economic seat😊
I’m so glad I watched this before booking our Delta One flight for $2000/person round trip to Hawaii because it was a 767-300. I would’ve been so pissed if that was the product I got.
booked flights to italy and each leg (3 in all)had a different configuration, i was getting confused. thanks for the specifics of odd vs even rows! i get to try the #1, #5, and #6 spot. but at least when i dont have aisle access, i'll be sitting next to my dad and not a stranger
Great information, but wish you had commented on actual Lie-flat seat comfort. There was a little info about the foot space, but nothing about real sleepability. I’ve flown Delta for years and have the card and the rank, but after two miserably uncomfortable long distance flights, I’ve been searching out United. My last long distance United was extremely comfortable for sleeping, partly because there was a pad for the “bed,” as well as a blanket for me. For the price they charge, seems like Delta might catch on, but maybe they don’t have to because they have tons of business anyway.
This is singularly the best example of what makes your channel a cut above the rest. Who else but Jeb would test not only the different cabin classes, but the seats within the class? Seat selection is such an important part of air travel, thank you for highlighting it!
Thank you so much!!!

767-400 is my favorite plane when traveling Delta One from LAX-JFK.
true
The Delta One seat I was in JFK-LAX felt like I was descending into a coffin 😳
I did LAX-JFK last fall, however, Delta used the 767-300 on my flight.
They usually use the 767 300 for those I take that trip a lot
@@TheTopG17 This is what I usually get as well. I was surprised that Delta would put this version on the LAX-JFK route. You would think they would use the NEO.

LATAM is a real airline. I’m not sure why you put it in quotations using ex-.
@@cwg73160 I was quoting that those are the formerly LATAM A350’s I love LATAM
This is a good idea when traveling solo on this aircraft!
@@cwg73160 I agree that quotes are not necessary, but they could have just meant it to emphasise the company name, or because it's an acronym. I doubt they meant anything rude to the company.

If they left out “ex”, the quotes would’ve been totally appropriate. Using them would describe the aircraft type within Delta’s fleet.
I never suggested they meant any disrespect. I insinuated that they didn’t know how to properly use quotations.
Another trick to telling the difference between the A350s during booking from the flight details page is the Delta A350 is listed as A350-900 and the LATAM A350 is simply listed as an A350 in the flight details. Just flew on both. LATAM A350 conf to ATL and Delta config back to LAX. Loved them both for different reasons.
Can you share what you loved about the LATAM version? Thank you!
@@WanderlustingLawyer I was traveling with my wife on the flight so it was nice to have a window seat and a shared space with my wife. The 2-2-2 config in the LATAM A350 config is nice because it gives you the chance to have the window seat and sit next to your travel partner. When we flew the 1-2-1Delta A359 config we both had window suites but we were not next to each other so we could not talk. Also, the LATAM config felt very large and spacious. I think that is especially if you know the person next to you; however, I have also flown the LATAM config with a stranger next to me and still felt like I had enough personal space in the 2-2-2 config. As for getting in and out of the seat, it was very easy to get in and out of the window seat regardless of whether the aisle seat was upright, reclined, or in full lay-flat. The IFE was nice. There are more overhead bins in the LATAM first class config than the Delta cabin config. The storage bin under the footrest was also really nice to have Hope that helps! .
@@LAXTravels that’s so helpful, thank you! Especially knowing it still was comfortable ever when not traveling with a companion, as would be my case. Do you personally prefer this product over the 767?

The greatest challenge when booking a Delta One seat is that post-booking, Delta inevitably announces a schedule change that somehow ends up changing the type of plane. What I've booked is seldom what I end up with when boarding.
Nothing new I’ve been told…

I’ve flown to Hawaii in Delta One on all of these except the 757, and I would have to agree with your rankings. The A330-NEO is incredible, easily the best! I have to give some props to the A350 Latam though, as it was much better than I expected. If you can get over the complete lack of privacy, its really quite a nice seat. It’s extremely spacious (almost too much distance between the seat and the IFE screen if you want to put your feet up without lying down), and to help a little with the lack of privacy we just chose the last row. I would have no problem whatsoever choosing that seat again. I have to say, choosing which plane to fly when traveling is one of the funnest parts of the entire experience! Thanks for your videos Jeb, you always do a great job!
I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing Delta One on the 767-300 and the 330-300. If for nothing else, do it for the flat bed and the catering. Imo that’s Delta’s standout on long-haul, the food.
The food was terrible on my Delta One flight... they can't even get basic food right
food on my last Delta One flight Rome-Boston was outstanding! What route were you flying? @@frederickvondinkerberg7721
Air France food is far better.
We can Always Count on You Jeb to give the Best Reviews that are detailed in any types of Transportation, Thank You Jeb & Susanne 😊
Even the lowest rank seat is out of my price-range for the most part; I do love your videos. They are entertaining and educational. I love how you review airliners from Spirit to Emirates and other modes of mass national and international transportation. 😁
Glad you like them! Thank you so much for your support!
Since the 757 was introduced I wanted to "go left", but never had the opportunity until recently. Thanks to this video I knew how to find a 757 flying domestically with Delta One seats. Not only was I able to book that flight, thanks to an upgrade I finally got to see the pointy end of my favorite plane. Thanks Jeb!!!
I am a fan of the LATAM A350 -- as long as you have a "C" or "D" seat. Flown it several times. Love the little storage cubby in front of the seat.
Aaaaaand this video just became my bible. Super interesting tip about the cargo flights! Question though - how would one actually book that discounted ticket? I clicked on the link for cargo flight, and I can indeed see cargo flight schedules. But how would one actually book a discounted Delta One seat on one of these flights? Thanks so much for all you do!
The Cargo site just shows you which flights are operated by wide body aircraft. You’ll still need to book your tickets on Delta’s website!
@@GreenerGrass Thanks!! My companion certificate gets awarded at the end of May. That was going to be my East Coast to Hawaii play for next year. But I'll start doing my homework on the cargo situation to see if that makes more sense…
Thank you Jeb! My wife and I flew from LA to Hawaii several years ago and took I THINK the 5th place type style? We were also in th3 exit row so for two under 5’6” people it was still pretty great!
A350L are changing. When Delta got them from Latam, they decided to keep the seats until travel slowed down. This year- June 1st atljnb will have the first updated A350L product. 40 delta one seats. This will also help on payload operated flight out of jnb
That’s great news!!
@@GreenerGrass do you know when the jfk new sky club might open, my bday is in june and thinking on bcn via jfk🤗
I love how some of us cant even afford a budget airline flight yet still watch these due to how entertaining it is, Im not saying that its not informative but saying that his videos are very entertaining. Also, this video was also pretty useful for me since I got some inspiration for some seats to make with my new 3d modelling app. Thank you Jeb, your one of my favorite channels out there in youtube and a pretty underrated one
We gotta dream BIG!! Our time will come.
As a OneWorld guy, I was re-booked on a DL 767 CDG-ATL trying to get home last year when British Airways had a combo of security strike at LHR and a computer meltdown. I was stuck in Oslo and just wanted to get back to San Diego. Being used to BA Club Suites, I was shocked at the beat down plane I was riding on. The Delta Diamond sitting next to me called the seat "a war crime" and was definitely not pleased they were on it. Yes, it was lie flat, and yes I had aisle access, but man those cabins need to be sent out to pasture.
Guessing/hoping they are next for retirement?
Thank you so much. I'm travelling soon with a serious back injury, so this is unbelievably helpful for determining which seat to choose. I just really appreciate how informative this video is. Thank you again!
Being on the other side of the travel experience (long time flight attendant at Delta), I had to chuckle at your number one pick. It is the most challenging for us as crew to work 😂. Good video none the less and I Would be psyched to see you two on a flight someday 🎉
Thanks for all you do and hope to see you onboard sometime soon! Maybe not a 330neo🤣
Thanks for the rundown on all the Delta One versions. I can't recall the exact configuration when my wife and I flew from Buenos Aires to Atlanta (perhaps the LATAM version) but next month we will be flying in the flagship A350 from Amsterdam. Our outbound from Atlanta will be on KLM Business. Looking forward to the comparison. Enjoy your reports very much. Thanks
The A350 is awesome, have a great trip!
I flew from Minneapolis/St Paul to Tokyo (Haneda) in September 2024. It was on an Airbus A330-900 Neo (which I'm assuming is the same as the A330 Neo, which was also, incidentally, ranked in this video as having the #1 style of Delta One seats). I was in Delta One seat #7A. This was my first time flying in such a seat.
I booked this more expensive seat solely because I wanted to be more comfortable, and able to SLEEP. (Normally, I can never sleep in traditional coach seats....) Having free drinks, supposedly 'better quality' food, more bags of snacks thrown at us, a basic (needless, wasteful) amenities kit, cheap (wasteful) disposable slippers, and even more privacy by way of being ensconced in a cubicle of sorts....none of this really matters to me, especially taking into account how little any of this impacts my overall flight experience, vs how much extra money I'm paying. And I really despise wasteful amenities being handed out, and which will only end up in landfills. (Please don't insult us, Delta, by trying to make us believe that the Made in China slippers that you gave us, and the extra bag of chips, factors into the additional money we are paying.) I already know that I'm going to feel like CRAP, regardless, when I arrive in Tokyo, so a good night's sleep is what matters most to me. But that was not to be in the cards for me, on this flight, or in this seat.
Oh sure, this Delta One seat had different levels of 'reclining'. But even when reclined at its greatest level, it was definitely not flat, nor did I find it comfortable (and that was even after putting the extra padding that was provided, over the seat). In addition, the more flat that the seat/bed reclines, the more that your lower torso is pushed forward, and into a boxed-in section that sits below the seating/table area of the person sitting in front of you. Any time I tried to recline the seat more, I watched as my feet, shins and thighs were pushed forward into a coffin-like 'box'. If I lifted my legs a few inches, or tried to move them to the left or the right, they would hit the top or sides of the boxed-in area. As a claustrophobic, this was most unpleasant for me. Also consider that I am only 5'2" and 105 lbs. I can only imagine, therefore, how a larger person would feel in this setup. Granted, I am admittedly claustrophobic, so maybe other people wouldn't take issue with this. But for me, it was horrid.
Not only that, but the PITCH of the recline, I did not find comfortable for my back. Net, net, I did not sleep well on this flight, and it was definitely due to the pitch of the seat, and the fact that my legs were boxed in.
I would never pay extra money again, for a Delta One seat. On my return flight, I will be in a Delta Premium Select seat. I'll have to see how that goes. And... even though I'm a Delta FF customer (and have a Delta Platinum card), I just may have to consider looking into other airlines (American?) the next time I want to fly to Asia.
They may have ranked near the bottom, but the LATAM seats look so comfortable that I really want to try one out.
They are very wide and roomy
Jeb, what a pleasure to meet you on this flight, and I enjoyed my surprise mini cameos too! Great informative video, hope to see you in the skies again! PS Auckland, and the South Island, were as incredible as you said they would be!
Thanks so much for watching and saying hello. I’m so glad you had a great trip!! But I’m not sure it would be possible not to enjoy NZ!!
My only Delta One experience has been on the 767-300, the worst direct- aisle seat they have on offer. Still, I got a Timi amenity kit and I still use the bag to this day, and the service was great.
Great vlog as always! Last time I flew DL was in may 1994 on the 757 ATL-CHS-ATL. At the time it was parked ca. 300 C-141 at CHS. It was insane to look at. Keep up the good work!
Flew the LATAM A350 to HNL last year and it was amazing. Yeah, the lack of privacy was unfortunate. But that seat! Legitimately felt like I was sitting on my couch at home. I’d fly that plane over and over again if I had my choice.
It is very roomy, and nice if you’re not traveling alone!
Recently flew ATL to LAX on the 767-400ER and for a domestic flight, I'm OK with what I had, but on a longer flight, I think I'd prefer an aisle biased seat. I almost felt like I was getting pressed against the window in the window biased seat, and the cushions were not the softest. As I said, OK for a domestic but international, I much prefer AA's super diamonds.
Love that Jeb score! I have been VERY fortunate in the past couple of years to be able to book 2-round trip DeltaOne trips. I thoroughly enjoyed the 767-400 (4D) but am looking forward to flying the A330-neo (4A) to Athens in the next few mos. It’s great to know what to expect, thanks!
Enjoy your trip!
Thanks for doing the leg work for us Jeb! Another reason why I’ll continue to be a Jeb Setter!
Thank you for the support!
The more I watch your channel the more I like it. You’re the man!
I loved the video but I loved how wide the LATAM A350s are. I flew on it from ATL-DUB in ‘22
I'm looking to fly on an 330neo this summer so it's super exciting to see they have the best Delta One seat! I'm hoping it will be my first time in Delta One too!
Have a wonderful summer trip!
I would love to fly Delta again someday (flew them 25+ years ago), but my home airport only does 2 flights a day and they both head to ATL, whereas all my trips are south or west so American has better routing for me through DFW or PHX. Fingers crossed they add more routes someday. Cheers Jeb!
Thanks Jeb. You are bringing back memories for me. I flew a tom of Delta flights. Not so happy with the terminal in Atlanta, but I needed the exercise then. I do love hour videos always.
Awesome video Jeb! Bummed I couldn't spot your watch ;-) My only gripe with D1 is that if you want to use sky pesos to book, it is insanely expensive, like 300K miles or something. It is very difficult to get a D1 as an award ticket.
Love the A330 900 … flying on this plane again in Delta One from AMS to SLC in a few days
Jeb this video really helped as we are going to Barcelona in June and doing a MED Cruise but Delta changed our flights originally flying out of JFK but they changed it to Atl and it is a former LATAM aircraft and coming back we go through Amsterdam and fly back on a A330-300 (older version seats) to Boston. So at least now we have an idea. Thanks again Jeb.
Glad it helped and have a wonderful trip and cruise!
Hey Jeb ! Great video as always ! You should do the same for Air France's Long haul Business Class which has 6 different seats I think, it could also be very interesting because even though Air France is often ranked as the best airline in Europe it really depends on which cabin you have for your flight especially in Business which is quite expensive !
It definitely gets confusing when an airline has so many different seats!
Hi! Love your video! Question…We are looking to travel HNL.. it appears the only aircraft offered is Boeing 767-300. I don’t want to pay the Delta One price tag if the aircraft hasn’t been updated. Could I assume that if the aircraft offered Delta Premium Select as well that the aircraft is most likely updated? Does that make sense? I’ve seen some Delta One 767-300 where is looks dated and the screen display is older.
Love flying delta. Never flown delta one but looking at saving for a huge trip to japan for my daughter in a few years and this makes my choce for seats easier
Though I'll likely never fly Delta 1, love Jeb's videos. My "comfort food" of TH-cam
Thanks for coming along!
Looking forward to my B767-400, A330neo flights and layover in JFK! Thanks for the great report Jeb!
Outstanding review, thank you. For a larger person traveling, which would you recommend?
I've flown the exposed (A350) and the dated (A330) configurations. I flew with my husband, so I actually preferred the exposed one because we were closer together. 😊
Also hot take - the OG delta one seats aren't enough better than premium economy to warrant the extra cost on any domestic flights. (And the list of international destinations where delta is the best deal for biz class is a short list.) Especially if you have the amex and can get into the lounge without a delta one seat. 76-4/350s/and 330 neos are worth it if you get a good deal.
It just gets better and better😊
These kind of seats are a must do for long haul flights like SJC to JFK or across the oceans, in my opinion! Even if you don't go to sleep, the extra comfort is priceless 🙂
Great video and info provided (as always)! It is funny how the LATAM A350's were just 'pressed' into service with minimal changes in order to save on acquisition costs. Still this is good info. Also I find it funny how you were saying that Delta needed to up their game in 'premium' lounge access for international 1st class passengers. Over the last 1.5 years I have compared Delta's regular lounge to American's lounge. And Delta's is head and shoulder's above the competition. Maybe a few tweaks are needed to meet the level of service between a 'Polaris' or 'Flagship' lounge, but that should be easy for Delta. Thanks, Jeb!
Thanks for watching and the thoughtful comments!
Any day that Jeb uploads is the best day !
Thanks for explaining this Jeb! I appreciate the thoroughness❤️✈️
These are the type of videos I wish more reviewers made. Informative and useful for us all
Glad it was helpful! We really appreciate this!
Thanks Jeb. with my sister's frequent flights to Europe this is a great help!
UAL 767-400ER (IAD/ZRH - ZRH/IAD) is pretty much my favorite. Economy Plus is just fine, no need to upgrade. Service by flight attendants is the best, they seem to be the best of the best. Just my opinion, but I thought I would weigh in on the opinions....UAL for INTL travel has my vote. Jeb is doing a great job...keep up the nice work! AAA+++
Lost in Translation! One of the best movies ever made
I have flown the A380 Latam version 3 times and I personally fine the seats the best sleeping seats on an Delta One product. If sleep is important this is the best, especially for larger guests.
Love your videos Jeb! As a delta employee I haven’t had the opportunity to non rev in Delta One on the A350 yet…hopefully next year to Tokyo!
I hope so too! It’s the “Flagship!!”
We flew Delta One LAX to CDG at the end of September. Here is my rating:
Check in--great, with exclusive Delta One check in door and security clearance. We just missed the new Delta One lounge, which will open soon. Unfortunately, that was the best part of our flight.
Aircraft--Airbus A330 900 NEO with the latest Delta One Suites interior.
Space--surprisingly cramped, particularly with the suite door closed. Footwell was pretty narrow. The seat was surprisingly narrow (barely enough shoulder room for me in lie flat) and uncomfortable, especially in lie flat. The armrest on the aisle side does not lower, so you are stuck with the seat width. Not really enough room for side sleepers. Bedding was OK but nothing special.
Food--the flight attendants worked hard to make the service nice, but the food was just OK. Delta, raise the ticket price by $150 bucks and make the food special.
IFE--new and high quality.
Schedule--on time (of course, we spent 45 minutes in a crowded room at CDG waiting to clear passport control, and were rewarded with a course of covid to enjoy on our vacation).
Overall, a disappointing experience, especially for the fare.
On our return, we flew Air France CDG/LAX. We were expecting the new Air France business class product but due to equipment change, we got an older 777 with prior generation business class config. Still, although the seats did not have door panels and were a bit worn in places, it was a much better experience. Seats are a bit wider, way more comfortable and offered wider footwells and lie down space. Food was like going from Appleby's quality on Delta to a nice restaurant on AF. High quality dishes, nicely presented.
Given a choice on this route, I would choose AF every time. Sadly, Delta is second rate by comparison. Even worse, I am sure that they spent big bucks to install their latest Delta One Suites, so they will be stuck with them for the foreseeable future.
Thanks for your review!
Thanks for this great video. I just booked Delta One to Hawaii out of JFK and I looked into what the seat looked like on the 767-300☹️🙁 Good thing is I caught an incredible rate compared to what I was seeing for a direct flight to HNL. So, even though this will be my first lay down seat and it’s on a older dated plane, I still get some good private space for this 11 flight. I switched my seat locations to odd number after watching your video….Thank You!!!✈️🛩️🛫
Such an awesome video!!! Also, LOVE your QC20s 😏 ! Best travel accessory imo!
Thank you so much for this!! Def helps in driving my decision on whether or not to purchase! Didn't realize they weren't all created equal! Odd/even insight is super helpful also!
Great video, I haven't gotten the privilege to fly D1 yet but I'm looking for opportunities in the future!
Small avgeeky note: When distinguishing between subfleets of the A350, in addition to the seat map, Delta actually shows a different aircraft type. "A350-900" denotes a flagship A350 with their best seat. Simply "A350" denotes the former LATAM aircraft. Can be useful if the seat map is unavailable for whatever reason.
Love your videos Jeb and Suzanne keep up great work 😊
Thank you! Will do!
I remember one time I was travelling to florida from slc with a stop in atlanta. We got upgraded to first on the leg to atlanta which was on the old 767 delta one seats but by far the best flying expierence I had regardless.
I've flown the NEO in Delta One and the suites are awesome. Also, having an actual Purser onboard really keeps the service top notch. I think the NEO crews are the best Delta has.
Never flown Delta but would be looking forward to trying it soon! Great video!
Its probably just the aviation geek in me, given its age and relative rarity, but I absolutely love the D1 seats in the 767-400. Even without the door, I think its just as good as the A330-900neo. Given the 2 options, I'd choose the 764, but we unfortunately dont get those flying out of SEA. We did get them to/from Hawaii a few times during the pandemic, which was one of the few bright spots about travel during those days.
I've been on the 767-300 on the updated Delta One product similar to the 764 but I know not all of them have it! I'll miss all the 767s when they retire 🥲. Fabulous review!
Great channel! We’re planning a trip to Japan in 2025. Your related videos have provided some awesome info.
Japan is amazing, happy planning!
@@GreenerGrass Thanks! Okinawa is on our list as well.
Im planning a trip to japan for 2026 for my daughter and I. Any tips? She's never been on a plane or out of the country. I have done both
Jeb, your videos are very helpful! We’ve got a summer trip booked for Rome on delta one suites based on all yours & Susanne’s informative videos… we are so excited excited!!!! Hope to see you in the skies
Have a GREAT trip!!!
Absolutely informative! Thanks, Jeb. 👍
Hi Jeb, Are you able to recommend what the best seats would be for traveling on a long haul flight in Delta One with my young daughter (aged 8)? The flight we're looking at shows the reverse herringbone configuration, in which the window seats look like I would be completely separated from her....and that makes me uncomfortable. Whereas, many of the pictures of the center seats look like there is a partition between the seats. I guess my questions are, 1. Can those partitions be lowered? 2. Would we ultimately be better seated side-by-side in Business or Comfort Premium? Thank you in advance for any direction you can offer.
If I can ever afford to fle this class, this will come in handy!
flown 3 of these and I have to agree with the order. over 8 hours you can arrive destroyed in baggage class or refreshed in delta one.
I never think you have a choice in this matter so thank you for explaining this.
Flew Delta One from ATL to CPT (2023),On a 15 hour flight, No extra cushion on the seat for extra padding , just a pillow and a blanket; NO Pajamas. My suite door seemed to be a thin piece of plywood. AA gives you "bed" comfort and Pj's . Hoping Delta will upgrade their One service to compete with AA Flagship.
Thanks @Jeb Brookes, I have a mission for you. I know you love your train journeys.. how about doing the longest train journey available? Portugal to Singapore! It’d be an absolutely amazing video and experience that would take almost three weeks! Take us with you, this would be an epic adventure!!
I wanted to try the new Delta One check in at LAX and have lounge access, and also wanted to fly on a Boeing 767, so I booked a Delta One seat on the 767-300, LAX-JFK last fall (flew to LA from Seattle first). I really enjoyed the whole experience, but for an international flight, I hope to try Delta One on the A330neo sometime (Delta uses it from my home airport of Seattle-Tacoma). 🙂
I'm flying Delta One for the first time, in October. And it's out of jfk so I'm excited about the lounge and hoping that the dedicated tsa line will be open by then.
We are flying on an A330-900neo so that looks to be the top spot. Yahoo.
Flew BC on the 330 over to Rome from Boston , the new lounge is ace. Loads of space and windows , views of the city and of the planes parked up. Flying BC on the 330 again - BOS to AMS in April and oddly looking forward to the lounge again and most likely by passing a meal on the flight for more sleep.
This was a helpful video when it came to me choosing my seat. Please make more regarding other airlines.
Monday I was flying the A330 from Las Vegas to Atlanta. This was my first time in a pod as I call them. Long story short as we were going down the runway things went wrong and the pilot had to slam on the brakes. It was very scary. We lost an engine we were told. So my first time flying in a pod lasted about 5 minutes and I ended up in the middle seat in Comfort Plus on another Delta plane and arrived home over 6 hours late. What a disappointment and a long day but grateful we were all ok.
Total bummer, but glad you all were safe! Hope you get to try it again sometime🤞
Nice to see N722TW 0:22 good to see it still in the air took me from JFK to LAX back in 2010 last time I was on a 757 😲
To go to Amsterdam from LAX via Salt Lake City, I have nr 4 in your list. It's my first time traveling business class. I need to sleep on my way home, because my vacation ends 2 days later. I cannot afford a jetlag. Hopefully I will be able to sleep. But I'm sure I will be more comfortable than in an Economic seat😊
Fantastic video Jeb!
I’m so glad I watched this before booking our Delta One flight for $2000/person round trip to Hawaii because it was a 767-300. I would’ve been so pissed if that was the product I got.
booked flights to italy and each leg (3 in all)had a different configuration, i was getting confused. thanks for the specifics of odd vs even rows! i get to try the #1, #5, and #6 spot. but at least when i dont have aisle access, i'll be sitting next to my dad and not a stranger
Thanks 😊 your awesome jeb brooks 😀
I LOVED Delta One Suites on our flight to South Korea
Great information, but wish you had commented on actual Lie-flat seat comfort. There was a little info about the foot space, but nothing about real sleepability. I’ve flown Delta for years and have the card and the rank, but after two miserably uncomfortable long distance flights, I’ve been searching out United. My last long distance United was extremely comfortable for sleeping, partly because there was a pad for the “bed,” as well as a blanket for me. For the price they charge, seems like Delta might catch on, but maybe they don’t have to because they have tons of business anyway.
My Fav is the Airbus A330-900neo I have an upcoming flight from Paris to JFK on the Neo -- can't wait
"See you in the sky"
I'm flying the 330neo from London to Orlando in November seat 2A. Can't wait to try this!
Enjoy your trip!
Thanks for the review. I changed my upcoming A350 seat to 2D based on your recommendation.
