Delta will introduce new domestic First Class seats on its new Airbus A321neo – which is expected to be delivered late 2020 through to 2023. It will feature more privacy, more comfort, larger screens and superior stowage. This is an exciting development as US airlines first class hard product isnt as good compared to what other airlines (e.g. Qantas) offer, but this looks like it will close the gap!
Key features of these First Class seats include:
- A fixed headrest allowing increased privacy and better sleep without compromising seat width or space
- A larger and sturdier tray table, allowing for more workspace
- Extra space to storing personal items and devices, including dedicated laptop stowage and water bottle stowage for all phases of flight
- Little extras such as customer-facing power ports and enhanced memory-foam cushions.
- Upgraded wireless in-flight entertainment system, and an oversized high-definition seatback screen.
