A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y ZDELTA AIR LINES
A major US airline operating over 2,600 flights a day to 230 cities in 29 countries around the world, Delta also operates an extensive feeder network under the Delta Connection banner. Its Atlanta hub is the world's largest, with 617 jet departures.A generous Frequent Flyer Program and good scheduling are pluses. Note: Delta flights are now all 100% nonsmoking, even on international routes. Delta BusinessElite is the airline's intercontinental business class. Experience the difference of added space and amenities on your next flight to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Europe, India, or Japan. The airline provides enhanced service on the ground with priority check-in, access to BusinessElite lounges, and priority boarding, you'll experience an added level of personal service.
Delta's new spacious seat design provides you with maximum space for productivity and relaxation. The redesigned cabin provides you with a spacious seating configuration -- no middle seats -- which means more personal space. Delta reconfigured its aircraft with specially designed ergonomic seats, and all BusinessElite seats feature 60in of pitch and recline a full 160degree. Seat accessories include Delta's battery-saving system for laptop computers, a personal telephone to check in with clients, an individual reading light, and increased console space to serve as a desk area. With five-course meals (that offer everything from beef tenderloin to vegetarian pasta, to the world's finest cheeses) and an award-winning Vinum wine collection, travelers can indulge a taste for world-class dining. The airline also offers flexible dining -- eat what you want, when you want.
Delta AirElite is a new solution for private business jet charter and aircraft management services. With the operational expertise of a global leader, Delta AirElite is focused on safety, security, professionalism and customer service. Travel in comfort and privacy, 365 days a year, 24-hours a day in Delta AirElite's diversified fleet of luxurious business jets and private jet charters accommodating 1 to 25 passengers.
Delta has not changed its Economy Class much, it remains a typical product with very plain services and 30-33 inch pitch seating depending on the aircraft. The best seats are on the Boeing 777, 767 and MD-11 aircraft.
Delta's Shuttle service to Boston, New York, and Washington D.C. is a very good shuttle service, mainly aimed to business travelers with streamline boarding procedures as well as comfortable airport lounges, added legroom and the convenience of onboard data ports. They offer flight departures every half-hour between the following locations: Boston's Logan Airport and New York's La Guardia Airport; and Washington D.C.'s Reagan National and New York's La Guardia Airport.
Delta is testing a couple of anti-hijack measures on one of its aircraft: a closed-circuit camera system that scans the passenger cabin, and a transponder that pilots can activate if the aircraft is commandeered. The transponder displays a code to alert air traffic controllers.
Businesslike and efficient but nothing outstanding is the consensus about dependable Delta. As with most airlines, service varies -- from great Southern hospitality all the way to surly! The food needs to be improved, fares can be expensive and delays and baggage mix-ups are not infrequent (your luggage may visit places that you never did!), but they seem to get it right most of the time. Their best service is on international flights.
