Delta One - North America's Best Business Class!

- The North American legacy airlines have never had the best reputation. However, over the last few years all have them have upped their game - especially in international business class. I’ve flown all the others but never Detla - until now. And it turns out I left the best till last. This Delta One experience was brilliant!
Before I get into the review here’s some links I referred to in my video:

And if you get the chance do check out the Small Group Touring Co - we run some really nice small group tours to some of the word’s most beautiful and iconic destinations. Here’s the link: smallgrouptouringco.com
So this Delta One flight review covers the entire Delta One Business Class experience from check in at Detroit Airport through to the Lounge, boarding, take off and the wonderful Delta inflight service. I also cover all the features of Delta’s pod style suites - each with their own door which can be closed for total privacy.
Join me and we’ll experience it together.

11:12: “We had a good view of the Polderbaan runway, which is almost on the other side of the country” 😂
I'd legit book with Dennis' company as the owner seems so likeable and trustworthy. These videos he does is probably the best advertising a company could ever have.
I 100% agree with you
Yes, he comes across as a personable and down to earth guy. I wonder if he ever leads tour groups or if he is strictly management.
Thanks! I don't escort lead any tours but do try to join one for a week or so a couple of times a year - it's great fun spending time with our travellers.
Totally agree!
Apparently he upgrades his subscribers to business class if you book his tours
I work for a major travel agency and am excited I was one of the top Delta sellers of last year. This product is what they’ve awarded us on our journey!
"Had some American caffeine water" *shows starbucks cup* LOL and this is why I'm subscribed! Keep the videos coming Dennis! Can't wait for the next one :D

When he says rubbish!! Hahahahha
When I saw the Delta One thumbnail, I would have imagined it would be a review of Delta's 777-200LR product on the SYD-LAX route. I was really surprised to see it was the A350 on DTW-AMS route. This is my home airport and regularly fly this. In this corner of the world (the midwest / eastern US), we don't see much aviation variety. It's nothing like the Asia Pacific region with the magnitude of carriers and interesting routes. I love watching the aviation TH-camrs based in or reviewing flights in Asia/Oceania. I love flying and plane spotting in Asia. The geography and population density is so different than in the US and even Europe. The aircraft used and the way it's used is completely different.
Oceania and most of Asia are far away. Legacy American carriers like Northwest Airlines (merged with Delta) and Pan Am (routes sold off to United) started with "the great circle" routes to Tokyo. As aircraft gained more range, these routes to Tokyo became non-stops and developed the massive "fifth freedom" scissor hubs at Tokyo Narita. For most Americans, connecting to Asia meant American carriers. As aircraft gained even more range, carriers could fly beyond Tokyo.
Meanwhile, the asian carriers have matured and developed more long haul service. There's also the rise of mainland China. Codesharing, alliances, and joint-venture partnerships are now the norm too. The importance of the Tokyo Narita hubs have diminished or have disappeared all together. While Tokyo is now less prevalent, connecting through East Asia to/from the Eastern US is still the norm. Most Americans have never seen or heard of carriers like Qantas or Singapore. As ultra long haul becomes more viable (e.g., Singapore SIN-EWR, Qantas Project Sunrise), maybe the Eastern US will begin to see more aviation variety. Regardless, it's very cool that you're doing reviews in places where Australians and much of your global audience would not normally visit or connect through.
Thanks for visiting Detroit. It would have been amusing to run into one of the great aviation TH-camrs from afar at DTW. I hope you enjoyed your trip.
I'm flying from ATL to HNL in March and I just discovered my seat will be 7A so your video was very helpful. Thanks! Can't wait until March...
Dennis, loved your comment on the Polderbaan, “other side of the country” cracked me up 😂.
Anyone notice the shade thrown about American coffee? “ American caffeine water”, hahaha
Pretty accurate too. Aus has some amazing coffee. Almost as good as NZ coffee.
Most American coffee is crap, but if you get 100% Kona coffee it's amazing.
No you’re the only one !!🤫😜😜
Pretentious snowflake ❄️
Yeah loved that comment. Starbucks seem to have taken over the coffee scene in the U.S. and it’s poor compared to what most places serve in Europe and Australia.
The giggle at “Bubba” priceless. Cheers to the USA
Thank you Dennis for allowing those of us who can't physically experience such things do so via your videos. I get excited watching them imagining myself in your shoes.
Great way to start a Saturday, a Dennis video with a side of Jeb.
My dad's a 350 FO, mainly does PEK & ICN. Glad you enjoyed, Dennis. Loved the review!
Cheers!
Great look at Delta's A350! Flying to one of my favorite places, Holland! Your company looks amazing! What a wonderful way to explore our world. Cheers! 🥂
Had a good laugh when you took the piss out of "American caffeine water" - you're right about that buddy haha
Delta One is the way to go no matter where I travel to with this airline. From the lounge to their services and crew,, it's fantastic! A nice video, thanks for sharing your tips. 👍
Dennis, I love your reviews. Can you please incorporate something about vegetarian options in future reviews. I think carriers seeing this might just be encouraged to pay more attention to creating tasty vegetarian food. Thanks again.
second that
Again great video Dennis! I'm a big fan of Jeb too. By the way, at 3:29 Chateau Chenonceaux was shown. Been there a couple of times and it's a beautiful place. Looking forward to the next one 🙂
Thanks Dominic - yes that's one beautiful chateau!
You and Jeb are my fav aviation channels! Great reviews and I always look forward to your uploads!
Honestly can't wait to book my travel through Bunnik Travels! You seem to go above and beyond!
American coffee water!!! Love your humour Dennis! I know what that means as I live in Melbourne ;)
Been to Detroit Airport a few times. Fantastic McNamara Terminal. Love seeing the fancy variety of Delta jets
Good to see Jeb using a Rode microphone - great Aussie product doing very well internationally
I am very happy you opened an operation for the US!
Hi....
Great Video and you two Guys are awesome
Excellent review as always ! Concise , easily spoken , on point and no BS! Well done mate😎!
Cool to see you and Jeb in the same video. My favorite TH-camrs!
Delta 1 all the way!
Enjoyable, in depth review as always from the knight of the skies.Thanks Dennis.
Ok so I love BOTH of yal's channels and am just so happy to see both of you in a video! So cool!
Hi Dennis, I have watched you now since you uploaded your 2nd video. Just 1 video off the first. Damn it😂😂 As qantas have there new 380 business class coming out. It would be amazing if you made on of those videos in the near future. Keep up the 5 star content.
Yet again another awesome review Dennis, keep them coming mate👍
I thought you were already in Amsterdam! I think you ment London 12:26! Great job Dennis love your videos!
Yeah that was the jetlag speaking - should have said London. :)
Great, I'll be checking out that Q&A, seemed like a great flight! top video Dennis!
I’ve adopted your practice of touching the plane before I board. Nice little routine to have.
I’ve spent many hours in that Skyclub. Detroit is a nice airport.
Awesome! So great to see you are flying Delta! Delta is my favourite US Airline!
Cheers Dennis, Jeb's videos is how i learned of your channel, both of you are nice blokes.
I remember you making this epic trip home, with all those flights (thanks to your updates on instagram). Nice to see this leg of the journey... those pods/suites looked very spacious and private. Thanks for another one of your great reviews. 👍 Enjoy your next flight...
Great one Dennis! Wow Jeb Brooks
I´ve landed on that far far away runway at Schipol. Really takes you forecer getting to the terminal. Great video Dennis, looking forward to next video! Best wishes from Sweden.
Dennis, Great review of Delta One on the 350. Thanks
Haaaa
Hi Dennis
Great to see you and Jeb working together. A nice review of the Delta flight. Looking forward to your review of the London to Perth flight. I am hoping to take the same flight to Oz.
Keep up the great reviews.
Kind regarfs
DS
Dennis great review - I love the cabin lighting on this aircraft and these reminded me of United and Qantas (A330). The best North American biz class seat in my opinion is American’s 787. Safe travels!
I loved the coat hook after the fact addition. Can’t fool us Dennis! Great video yet again.
Funny stuff with you and Jeb at the start !! 2 Legends together !! I agree about the suites in Business Class on Delta...they look great and of course I am glad your nuts were warm !! I presume at the end you were on a short hop to London ? with BA as you appeared to arrive in Amsterdam !! Blame jet lag mate !! Great review DB and your touring company was mentioned in the Age here in Melbourne today I think in regard to a trip to Oman !! More please !!
That A350 winglet is gorgeous.
yeah they are stunning
Great vlog Dennis !
Today seems to be the day for finding vlogs I’ve missed
Hi Dennis
This is nice to see both my fav AV geeks together 😍😍😍
As an American, I can't live without my American coffee water ha ha! Seriously, love seeing your Delta One experience. My wife and I can't wait to experience it next year on our trip to Hawaii
I am very excited by your Perth flight review with Quantus. I shall be doing that very route next year. I’m impressed by the fact that Delta really seem to have improved. I’ve not flown them in years - I remember them being terrible. But I’m tempted to give them a try. I didn’t know you offered small group tours. We definitely need to talk. Love your videos. Much love from the Holiday Inn Express at Heathrow T4.
Can’t wait for the London to Perth flight review
Love travel videos and this was just fantastic! Great job!
That guy is caesy nesistat 2...
I love the cabin... great food
I just found this video!!! You flew on a practically new airplane!! I flew Delta to CDG from ATL. and the service was great!!! Can't wait to check out your small group tour website!! We are planning a trip to Europe in May/June. Hopefully the corona virus goes away. Thank you for this video!!
It’s such a pleasure to watch your videos 👌🏼
You are definitely one of my favorite youtubers out there !
Dennis Bunnik and Jeb Brooks' videos on the Delta One Suit sold me, and I did fly Delta. Took a window seat. Their videos were on spot. The only problem I had was it was during COVID and they didn't have the Ice Cream Sunday.
Thanks for the review Dennis. I am a Delta Gold Medallion member and so far I am pleased with Delta services and their lounges when I travel. I have not experienced yet the A350 and hope to do so later when I return to Europe for a trip.
Another fantastic video. A big thumbs up from me.
Glad to see the Narddog in one of your videos ;-) thumbs up
Another video of the highest quality , so informative and delivered with a great sense of humour too . With reference to the Poldebaan. , you are right , it is almost in another country , and I remember flying from BHX to AMS and landing on it . We literally spent more time taxing after landing than flying time from BHX . Oh by the way , do mean “ flying to LHR with BA “ and not “ flying to AMS “ 😃.
Didn't realise Jeb was so round hahahaha!
We stan a thicc Zaddy
Great video as always Dennis!
Thanks George
Delta one flight looked amazing good, Your small tour company looks interesting so i am going to check it out, You have a long day ahead on the way to Perth..Happy travels :-)
Looking forward to seeing your London to Perth review!
I would recommend you try United business class across the pond. It's pretty good and they have a proper lounge reserved for business customers including food to order menu. That being said Northwest seems to have a nice cabin all aisle access is always appreciated!
Thank you you got to the point. Enjoyed the short spot of take off and landing.
"we spent most of the day talking rubbish" haha
Great to see that the service might be improving from the legacy American airlines! Anything to bring down the prices of trans-pacific flying for us Aussies is a good thing!!
If I was given a dollar for everytime Dennis said "best gin and tonic", I would be rich! Great review and it was great seeing Jeb Brooks. Seems like customer service always can make or break a flight, regardless of how good or bad a product is.
Great video Dennis
Nice Video, Detroit is Actually Delta's 2nd main Hub Airport in the US asides from Atlanta GA. A lot of my Favorite Aircrafts used to Fly into there the MD88, MD90, and the Boeing 717. 2 of those are retired to this date, but good that you get to fly a lot in some amazing Planes. Keep up the Good work!
Very nice video thank you
This is amazing you make Jeff Brooks I absolutely love it when you are airplane vloggers get together I hope to do a collaboration with some of my favorite bike riding guys one of these days great video
Keep up the great work!!
Thanks Will
I'm so glad you got to fly Delta One on the A350. You're steadily gaining subscribers and it won't be too long before we see Jeb in Adelaide. 😄
So nice to see Jeb also in this video! But you're video's are still nr 1 for me.
I came for the Airline review, the views and subscribed when realizing that you are an OFFICE Fan! All the best mate
Love your videos dennis!!!❤❤❤❤
awwww so cute yall are friends i love it!
6:41 not to nitpick but it’s higher air pressure. I think you meant lower cabin altitude.
Another excellent video Dennis, the Aussies really are the best at this!
Thanks mate
You had me at “American caffeine water.” Subscribed!
I Dennis ! I recently flew from LHR with KLM and we landed on that runway! It was so long before arriving at the gate but hey, what can you do about it! Great review, yet again!
Love your videos, Dennis!!!
Thanks Jack
you two are simply fab dudes and I always find you both brilliant in all your videos
Thanks Dean - was a lot of fun catching up
Great Video... I am making this run shortly.... and regularly, so this made me feel a bit better flying with a new Airline, normally I am used to Etihad, Singapore or Emirates... thanks alot.. I have now subscribed!
Great! and the cabin looks like 1st class!!!
i’m hooked to your channel dennis!!
Would love to see you review the new BA club suites on the A350
Plane: Has 1-2-1 Configuration
Dennis: *MEANING EVERY SEAT HAS DIRECT ISLE ACCESS!!!!!!*
Jokes aside, great review Dennis!
Awesome!!
Great review as always, and keep up the totally hot haircut. Looking good, mate!
Thanks mate
DTW is my home airport, DTW a former NORTHWEST hub has lots of destinations within the United States and abroad and a nice variety of aircraft to see, DTW-AMS(just like the route you took on the DELTA A350, you can also fly the A330 on this route) DTW-NRT A350, DTW-PEK A350, DTW-NGO A330-200 DTW-ICN A350, DTW-PVG A350, DTW-MUC DL 767(soon to be served with the Lufthansa A350 in 2020) DTW-CDG DL 767/A330 and AIR FRANCE, DTW-FRA DL 767 and Lufthansa's A330, A340 and 747 on different seasons, DTW-LHR DELTA A330/767, DELTA has service from DTW-GRU on the A330, WOW air used to serve DTW-KEF on their new A321 aircraft, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A FLIGHT TO THE MIDDLE EAST ON THE ROYAL JORDANIAN 787 DREAMLINER TO AMEN JORDAN!
Detroit is a great city to visit. Home to the auto industry Detroit Michigan is home to a lot of great restaurants, culture and tourist attractions. Detroit is home to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village showcasing automobiles from all years, steam locomotives and some of the first airplanes, including Amelia Earhart's plane. Detroit is home to great music including Motown, Steve Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Bob Seger, and great concert halls and venues to go enjoy these wonderful singers, if classic music is your thing you can go to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall to go see some amazing performances, Detroit has sports teams, but they are not doing well the Detroit Lions are not doing well, the state of Michigan has great collage football and baseball teams though. The Detroit Area has had a lot of great restaurants popping up the past few years, we have a soft drink brand called Vernors which is really tasty. Detroit Michigan is most definitely a nice place to visit and great attractions and things to do.
Cool - thanks for the info - definitely hope to visit the city one day
De polderbaan is nearly at the other end of the country 😂
Your trip reports are of excellent quality and always full of humour, great product by Delta,along with Jet Blue mint the best of the US carriers in C.
Great vid again Dennis, love it! Do you visit Holland often and would you care to have a meet-up session with your fans/subscribers in Holland?
what a big step down in terms of amenity kits
awesome video, mate. 12:28 - i thought you were in Amsterdam already :)
Dennis, you are correct about the US airlines improving their J class offer. Last Nov I flew Narita to LAX on an AA 787 and had set my expectation meter to low. What a surprise - good seat, storage, excellent food (I did the Japanese menu) and lovely service! Not before time though.
Cheers Dennis! Can't go wrong with a Heineken! :)
Aww 🥰 two of my favorites, @DennisBunnik Travels, @Jeb Brooks
American Caffeine Water! Good thing N. America has so many craft breweries now and Espresso machines. I can't imagine what you would have said about these beverages back in the 1970s/1980s!
Have become a big fan of Jeb Brooks’ vids during lockdown - I don’t want to say he’s in danger of becoming my fave AV youtuber but…(oh this is awkward…) 😛
