ATLANTA — Delta Air Lines today said it plans to make first class service available on all domestic flights longer than 750 miles — or about two and one-half hours of flight time.
The service will be effective beginning this fall.
“This enhanced service reflects the investment Delta is making in improving the customer experience on the ground and in the air across both our domestic and international network,” Glen Hauenstein, Delta’s executive vice president — Network Planning and Revenue Management, said in a news release. “Business customers who appreciate the option of traveling in a First Class cabin and frequent fliers who appreciate the opportunity to upgrade will particularly benefit from the significant expansion of two-class service on longer Delta Connection flights.”
When the upgrade is complete, 50 routes that currently feature Delta Connection flights with only one class of service will be upgraded to two-cabin aircraft with first and economy class service, Delta said.
