Coming Soon: Decent Economy Class Airline Seating...

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
... but only on international flights, and only on Delta Air Lines.

And even then, it won't be on all of Delta's Boeing 767s and 777s until 2010. (It's unknown at this time if Delta will install the Cozy Suites in Northwest's Boeing 747s and Airbus A330s as well following the Delta/Northwest merger.)

Still, Delta's new "Cozy Suite" will take the pain out of steerage by using a staggered arrangement, which not only gives you a good place to rest your head and body on those long flights between the likes of New York to London/Heathrow or Atlanta to Dubai, but also eliminates the possibility of armrest fights or seeing your unruly seatmate belch. The arrangement will also improve Delta's economy class legroom by 2 inches, and the seat cushions flip up for easy entry and exit.

Unfortunately, the Cozy Suite won't improve one thing: stinky passengers.

LOL...I really numb myself to airline travel. We are in a pay-more-get-less world now and everyday a new tax or rule seems to pop up with the airlines...well lets face it..they want to make money.

I can remember the glory days back in the day when I travelled a heck more. Boy First Class was First Class. Folks use to dress up and the FA's made you feel so special and the service was impeccable. Now on some airlines they call it Business First and most FA's are so unhappy. We are reminded that they are there for our 'Safety' and that is OK..but what about smiling a bit and being nice. I remember a few years ago-I had accompanied my sister concerning a medical issue. On combined flights between Baltimore-Philly-Bermuda I actually received a full glass of soda on US Air.

The US carriers have plummeted in service and you really only look forward to great service from international carriers-they obviously care more about you than just safety.

So I don't expect much in Air Travel anymore...just glad to get to my destination safely

Best,

Otto
