Good news: Delta A321neo first class is different than anything you’ve seen before (at least here in the US). Bad news: it’s not all that much better than the standard Delta domestic first class product, which is making it hard for me to justify the added cost.
These new seats feature more privacy than the standard seats (which is good). There’s more storage space as well (that’s good too). Comfort remains about the same, so think twice before spending more money (or points) for these.
This is a full review of Delta flight number 322 from San Francisco to Boston in July 2022. I had seat 4A for this 4 hour and 55 minute flight, and the aircraft registration was N501DA.

That new cabin is sweet, but I think Jetblue is owning the domestic FC, that mint studio is amazing!
this
Mint is technically a business class product
Until the Spirit merger goes through
@@SKS8080 JetBlue said that they will paint over the Spirit liveries and changing from notorious seats to well known JetBlue seats.
@@Gabito04 action speaks louder than words
Your vids are my absolute favorite! I often find myself looking at them at 4am(like today) when my insomnia is having its way with me. Your content is just amazing bro!
I really like your reviews - the video quality and your vocal presentation. Keep up the good work.
BOS-SFO and BOS-SEA are routes that Delta views as being between domestic F and domestic Delta One (BOS-SFO had 757 Delta One for a while a few years ago): the catering is typically better than other domestic F routes. It wouldn't surprise me that much if Delta switches the branding on these routes to Premium Select once every domestic Delta One route is on Premium Select-equipped aircraft (which will be when the 767 retrofit is complete and the three-cabin A321neos replace the Delta One 757s), which would end complimentary upgrades beyond Comfort+ on these routes.
That’s good to know. I figured that SFO-BOS might be considered more “premium” due to stiff competition from Jetblue and American, but it was weird that they didn’t market it as such. The amenity kits sure were a nice surprise though!
Awesome report!!! I’m definitely curious about Delta’s A321NEOs
I'd love to see your take on Air India. Flew them prior to the pandemic and was amazed that they served a full meal in coach on a 1.5-hour domestic hop. It's been many years since I've flown long-haul on them so I'd like to see your take on how their experience is today.
Most full service carriers in ASPAC/SEA does that.
Excellent review as always. I just booked a flight for August with Delta from San Diego to JFK in first class in an A321neo and it was around the same price that flights with one stop with two A321s. So I think it's worth it when the price difference is minimal
Same here!
Thanks for the report Scott! Nice to see the evolution of American companies; that Delta FC looks nice and an improvement over the old one, hope good food comes back soon. Talking about pricing, we have this same trend here in Europe; I have been looking at pricing and it only seems to cool down if you buy tickets for the winter season, but still more expensive than they used to be. Hope everything cools in the following months, let's be optimistic.
You’re very welcome Roger! The price increases we’ve seen in the airline industry over the past 9 moments or so are scary! Knowing how greedy airlines can be, it’s hard to be optimistic that they’ll eventually lower fares. ☹️
@@sanspotter looks like coach seats on Emirates.
I love your videos San spotter! I have been waiting for this video and it finally came out!
Can't wait til you release a new video 😀
Thanks Justin! Hope you enjoyed it!
Woah! 🤩 love seeing the BRAND NEW Delta A321 NEO! Looked like a great trip!
Cheers 🥂
Just flew the DL 321 NEO Boston to Denver in First. Have to say your video was spot on with our recent experience
Less space in front of you than the average premium economy on an international carrier. Why? The other question being, why are they allowed to call this first class when the amount of space you get is (far) less than in an international business class?
I mean, consider that Emirates and/or Turkish charge at least *$4000* for a 5-hour flight in Business Class and US carriers only charge about *$1000* for a 5-hour flight in "Domestic First Class"... 😦
@@odeiraoloap when you use credit card miles you are charged just $60 - 300 in fees for any first class. The point is why call something a name when it clearly is not? There are standards to this. That's like me pissing on your head and tell you it's raining. When something isn't even at the minimum threshold for business class you can't call it first class with a straight face.
You people say this but have only been in economy😂
@@AcostaN949 I fly business and first to Europe and Asia. GJ "you people"
@@wanderingdoc5075 good for you. So do I. But if you’re so keen on flying in business and FC how come you aren’t aware of intra-European “business class.” Aka the economy seats with the seats blocked off in the middle. You sound like a person who’s been in a premium cabin once and doesn’t know how to act. Don’t try it. 👋🏻👋🏻 Also, you obviously don’t know how business works, why would it make sense financially to install lay-flat seats on every flight in the US? You obviously don’t have any true wealth if you don’t get business. See you in row 40. 🤣
I think this is my favorite one yet Scott. Really funny!!
Love the look of the black around the cockpit Windows!! I don't know what attracts me to it, but I love it. Air Canada's become one of my favorite.
As for the wings on the first class seat when flying with my wife? Priceless!! I don't wanna listen to her yelling at me for the whole flight! 😂😂😂
Hello from a fellow Minnesotan, and yeah you flew right over me given where the plane is.
I’d like to get your feedback on two things that I didn’t hear addressed in your video (sorry if I missed them.) How was the padding? These new seats look kinda hard. And doesn’t United offer sandwiches or something more substantial as their pre-landing snack on a transcon? Thanks
This is cool. I’m flight on one of these next week to Vegas.
Simply fantastic trip report as always Scott! I definitely couldn’t justify the higher cost, but this is a step in the right direction!😸
Thanks Ryan! I have a hard time justifying the cost too, but it would be hard to resist if I’m booking a flight that feature these seats. 😬
@@sanspotter that’s very true!
The foot pedal for the trash is a brilliant idea!
What camera are you using? It is really clear and crisp
Nice flight in another 737!
Your voice is so relaxing!
Love that the kid was just staring and you kept on recording 😆 Spooky!
“I don’t expect anyone to still be watching.”
My Av geek self at 11:00 pm on a Friday night : 🤓
Always super fun videos. You are a one-man comedy show! On another note though, I do think the cost of first class travel has gone up quite a bit since the pandemic. I think the airlines are trying to recoup some of their losses❤️👍✈️
Thank you! It’s weird, as I’m not trying to be overly funny, but I guess it means that I’m incapable of doing anything seriously. 😅 Anyway, yeah, prices have been insane all summer. The airlines are certainly trying their best to squeeze as much money out of us that they can!
Cool review bro , I’d like to see one on breeze airways from SBD to SFO , I like your commentary, cheers 🍻.
Are they using the new ones from LAX to LIH i am looking at flights now and they say Delta A321 NEO (narrowbody jet)
Ah for a second (or maybe few weeks) I was wondering why there hasn’t been a SANspotter video. And voila one shows up, impeccable timing.
Very nice!
Thanks!
Q.does delta 321 neo is the only bird they fly or do they have a basic 321
Not sure if @55 seconds you meant for it to change the minute the second you pulled your watch out. Either way awesome
Hey that’s me who worked on the plane 😂 the wing Walker in the video
$14 for oatmeal. They saw you coming!
They certainly got me. 😬😄
How to be robbed by an cashier
By San spotter
What U expected from democrats??
San Diego airport is so expensive for some reason 🤣
1st class ?!?!? I miss the old days when it was way more spacious ... Those seats look really tight together.
Flew this recently and really liked it but I don’t think it compares to some other transcon product. if they can roll this out in a bigger way it will be great. Excellent video and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Taylor! Yeah, it’s not perfect but I appreciate the fact that it’s a pretty big step in the right direction.
@@sanspotter definitely!
Booked JFK-SFO. Scheduled on a Boeing 767-300ER (Delta One). Can’t wait until the Airbus A321neo is assigned in the New York area.
What model Swiss army back pack is that? The model 1900 with the iPad /lap top pocket in the back. Have that one love it.
That is a nice loo addition right there.
Do they turn the AC on during boarding yet ? Until then delta is a no go for me 6 months of the year.
Having flown AA's Flagship Business transcon a few times before finding this video, the "game changer" descriptor seemed backwards/in the wrong direction here. This Delta product is a lot closer to an economy seat than it is to Flagship, though the latter is probably more expensive still. Picking a bulkhead seat in the Flagship business class, I couldn't even reach any of my stuff stored on one of the four shelves/flat surfaces in front of me without unbuckling my seat belt -- too far away! : ) Plus there was storage above/behind me at the top corners of my pod-like near enclosure (when the seat is flat -- otherwise there isn't much material separating the adjacent passengers).
Traveling with the spouse, Business is actually better than First. They are the same seats either way, but unfortunately in First the lone seat is on the aisle with a "filler" table which replaces the second seat occupying the window area. It would have been so much better for isolation + view if they had done it the other way around in First.
As for the Flagship infotainment system, I've never gotten it to work very well and soon give up in favor of sleep or reading. Likewise for my wife, so a score of zero for two engineers vs some combination of finicky system and/or unreliable controls. Presumably if we were more persistent, it wouldn't stay more trouble than it's worth.
Food in Flagship Business was more than we could eat. I tried to correct the flight attendant when I was given a chicken salad after having ordered beef, but it turned out that was just an appetizer. My wife, who has also flown Mint, says the AA food is better as in less fancy/more in line with our simple tastes.
I'll be right back in Economy where I belong once long covid is no longer a possibility (I know, could be years). But for now, the pod-ish Flagship Business seats are about the best you can do for minimizing exposure during domestic air travel. And fun.
Great video my friend no one make and explain videos like you. I I give you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️always
I appreciate the 5 stars! 🤩 Thank you!
Thanks for the info Scott. Question for you. I have a flight coming up from ATL to BOS. Our seats are 1A & 1B. I know this is a bulkhead seat, but does it have plenty of room? Never flown first class before and these seats were the best, I think for two of us. Thanks
Yup, bulkhead seats usually have more legroom than the other seats (even in first class). The only downside is that there is no place to stow small bags - everything has to go in the overhead bin.
I appreciate that you blurred other guests. I travel first class like many others for the privacy. I am sure the employees appreciate it as well as they're just doing their job and rather not be on the internet
Great video and review ❤
It’s simple: There’s Delta and then there’s everyone else.
Outstanding video as always, Scott.
Aesthetics on this are nice -- but I think this is a half measure of a product compared to b6's marvelous a321neo first class =(
Oh yeah, this isn’t even close to Jetblue Mint! Glad you enjoyed the video!
i enjoyed flying with you greetings from the netherlands
As a seasoned(older)traveler, first class quality of service and food has been continuously going down hill every year. Back in the day, we didn't have seats that made into a bed but the seats were so big and reclined so much, it didn't need to be a bed and the service was impeccable! The food back then put this food in this video to shame. It's sad, so very sad...
Wow! TH-cam recommendations somehow knew I was going to fly first class on a A321neo on AA (PHX->BOS)
Hi Scot....a bit of a rip-off for that porridge.
Strawberry and feta salad for lunch...???😋
Now THAT is fancy😂
The seats look comfy , although "Dumbo" would be a good nickname for those headrest wings 😂....boy, are they big
I love your videos
Thanks bro! 😎👊🏻
Do you get sky club access?
DL doesn't have CHANNEL 9 like UA has!
Was that eggs with the short ribs?
Hey a few days ago I went to sfo to Boston MA on the A321Neo
Hopefully you enjoyed it!
Always enjoy your videos! Sure, you threw your sister under the Airbus....ok threw is a harsh word....but you also flew over/near my hometown, which you can see from Logan (over by the water treatment plant to the east). I'd have flown JetBlue Mint. One of these days I'm going to....fly from DFW to SFO just to use JetBlue Mint to BOS. Not today..haha. Until your next video...
Still no acknowledgement from my sister regarding that portion of the video. 😅 And had I known that your house was also visible, I would have waved. 👋🏻😆 Anyway, yeah, try Mint however you can! It’s the best premium seat experience in the US by far.
You are such fun! Now I know what to expect when I fly to LAX on the 321. I'm handicapped, and need extra space.
I have a question for you: how do you combat jetlag when you travel every day? You must get exhausted!
Angels weep at the cost of that oatmeal.
you can’t imagine the look on my face while laying on my bed in oakland california after hearing the words shoutout to everyone watching in oakland come out of my favorite youtubers mouth
Thoughts on bulkhead?
Almost any new First Class product on U.S Domestic flights is a good thing and Delta has come out with a good new seat, also i wonder why they did not give you an Amenity Kit on you're flight back?
I didn't find the 321NEO First Class on Delta anything close to game changing. Nice service and great Airline, but no US carrier comes close to JetBlue and their Mint Service. Now thats a game changer for domestic First Class. Nice video as always!
Jetblue is a us carrier😂
@@SosgamingYT1 yeah, based out of JFK which is in the US.
American just launched new A321Xlr business class suites 👀
@@qasimahmed445 they look amazing!
It's a fair point but you are comparing fundamentally different products - as a traditional domestic first class product, the above on Delta's A321NEO is truly exceptional. JetBlue Mint would be better compared to Delta One on the 767-400, 757-200, or sometimes the A350 when re-positioning. JetBlue loses hands down when comparing international first/business class products between airlines.
"There's that 737 right there" Ha ha ha
So…is this better than JetBlues Mint class? You briefly mentioned them during the meal, but I’d say mint appears to be better than this.
At the price they're charging for the new first class seats on these flights, you can almost get transcon Delta One seats. In my opinion a much better value than these new first class seats.
Finally updated, yeah
Hey Scott, what brand shoes are those? Thanks
Those are Gola Harriers - I think they’re still available for purchase.
@@sanspotter thank you 🙏🏼
Why always the expensive food 😂😣
Looks like $20 chicken bowls and $14 oatmeal is your thing now
Damn inflation…….great video Scott
Thanks Stephen! 👍🏻
Looks fancy but wish Delta would have better direct routes from Chicago so I could use them
Being smack dab between MSP and DTW probably isn’t helping. It’s probably more efficiency to filter passengers through those hubs rather than trying to build up a decent sized operation there.
Your comment on United, do you mean current offerings or the brand new interiors that they are adding with new IFE on their planes? Both products as far as IFE goes seem to be very similar.
Hopefully he's referring to the old product.
What shoes are you wearing
Should have made seats more comfortable and more space..screens are best part of the upgrade
How would this a321neo first class compare to Hawaiian airlines a321neo first class?
how was the turbulence? i have heard A321NEO IS KNOWN FOR BUMPY RIDE.
Sanspotter fly from San Diego to Munich on Lufthansa it would be a great flight ✈️
Agree! Do this! Considering this flight later this year
Thanks for a nice video. It’s nice that plastic time is over now. This cabin is more like premium cabin and definitely not first class.
How it’s possible that all window blades are not open during takeoff and landing ?? Don’t they care about safety.
US airlines don't have any window shade rules
US airlines don’t have rules for opening window shades (I was surprised about it when I visited) and the first class name is just historic but it has stuck and hasn’t been changed.
Yeah united ife will get better when they retrofit all their old saggy 737s with the new TV's that they just put on their 737 Max's. Great video
Thanks! Yeah, I can’t wait for the United retrofits!
Meanwhile, why hasn't Delta announced plans to retrofit these new seats onto A321CEOs, A220s, and 737-900s? This is where Delta falls. Meanwhile, United wants to retrofit their entire fleet and they will once the chip shortage is over
That seat support right where your right foot goes ruins it. The should have done a narrower divider to give you foot space. No way my size 14 wide fits there, and if you benefit from the legroom you're probably big enough that your foot can't fit there either
I'm curious.... How do you book a certain airline model easier without just randomly guessing?
Delta normally shows you the plane your going on before purchasing. Also the airlines release routes with the aircraft’s they are using almost every month
@@Awsome17203 Thanks, Do you have a link or website where they publish that information?
Apparently Delta doesn't think San Diegans are worthy of amenity kits.
It’s not fair! 😆
And i do love san diego. My husband was born and raised there.
I hate that no US domestic first product has a leg rest. I'm a platinum medallion flyer with DL, and wouldn't pay for their first product because my back is going to hurt just as much in first as it does in Main.
Refers to pandemic “ It appears those days are over…for now anyway “ No Scotttttt dont jinx it! 😐
Just curious, can’t First Class passenger go to lounge? Why did u spend money on food?
8 months later and the Airbus A321neo is the cheapest option for first class from Orlando to Seattle.
Not a 737! The 321neo is more quiet, modern, and better seat width for economy. Still better than what united and American offers(until both get their 321xlr whit the new firth class)I think we would not have the problem flying on that if one day occurred. Economy plus if enough for us for be happy. By the ways, Delta is planning to out new first class whit bed and everything on the coming future neos. Another exelent video! Planing to go international?
Thanks Sergio! I actually didn’t know about the flat beds coming to the Delta A321neos. I’m looking forward to that! Anyway, no plans for international for now (got too much stuff going on at home).
Great review as always. So no chicken and rice? Why don’t you do a flight review with your sister?
Loo review!
no talk about the seat.
i’m high as shit rn watching all this mans vids rn and i got a shoutout 😂😂😂
OMG Scott … how did you have a meltdown by not having chicken and rice? 🤣🤣🤣. As a side note, I would prefer American’s A321T with lie flat seats in Flagship First Class but alas, now AA code shares the route with JetBlue so that’s not even an option anymore 😕. I think JetBlue Mint has Delta beat IMHO 😉
Favorite spot in SFO? Sir, are you aware the *A international terminal has an outdoor viewing deck?
great videos. I am applying to American, delta, and united for jobs for the sole purpose of flying for hopefully free first and business class all over the world. from your experience, which of these airlines has the best luxurious first and business seats and service? thank you!
No table cloth no crystal no french champagne. This is so revolting. B u t your reports are always top notch scott. Always
Never knew u have to phones lol
what is wrong with that bathroom trash can and yes i watch through the end of your videos
im mad i just flew 1st class delta 4 different planes and it was still just snacks in a box
Looks good, but I wonder how the price compares to JetBlue Mint where you get a full recliner?
The prices are actually quite similar for most flights jetBlue is only around 30-50 dollars more (Can be more or less)
holy macaroni...why don't you have lounge access?
I realy hope Europa Airlines follow.OK we have ICELANDAIR WHIT A GREAT CREW AND TURKISK AIRLINES WHIT A CREW IS I HAVE THE DAY
On iceland air you do not get anything for free. Their inflight...well...service is run down. I do not support a homophobic country like turkey. So i wont fly their state carrier
C'mon, game changer? practical joke!
