I have flown to Europe 41 times in the last 40 years. Every trip but maybe three with Delta. Three trips this Summer, all with Delta. They are the best. I just wanted to pass something along to you, back in the 1980's all coach seats were like the present-day comfort plus.
Delta I see has Been very Good for Very long Flights. Sorry about the Bus to the Main Airport. When I was In Amsterdams Airport for a Changeover from Oslo then Amsterdam to Calgary I didn't have to Take a Bus. Happy you enjoyed the Service on Comfort Plus. KLM was very good too I flew. I Also got Tea Service after my Meal with a Lemon Tart in Economy class. KLM is part of Sky Team Too.
@@finndenengelsman5666 Actually, I know I'm late, but they always use these particular 3 gates specifically for Long Haul flights and it doesn't really suck for an av-geek like me, but they use these gates for the SLC-AMS route (Unless it's on the seasonal KLM service) and for some other routes, 747 used to be common at these 3 gates but since retirement I don't know what they park there, The embraer gates are too small for any widebody and even the A321 couldn't fit in it.
Comfort+ is definitely well worth the extra cost. I flew it last year from PDX to MSP and it was a pleasant experience. I'm also looking forward to my trip this year to Munich where I'll also be making a connection in Amsterdam. I love the 767 with it's 2-3-2 configuration and feel fortunate that Delta is holding onto it long enough for my trip this year. I understand the 767s will all be gone in a few years.
I wish I had that little old lady always next to me on that sort of flight! Impressed with the meal and also the information given out about when you can consume when. Top work delta. BA etc take note
Nice trip report! I was on a flight from SLC-CDG a year ago and from what I remember the service on Delta was exceptional even in economy! Thanks for the video!
Hi Amandeuce! Another great and well made report, really enjoyed it! I actually hate those early afternoon/evening TATL flights back to Europe. I find it so hard to fall asleep (as it just turns night at your original destination once you arrive). Delta have a great economy product. Hadn’t seen the menu’s before, another nice touch! The food looks delicious, how did that pale ale taste? Never knew we used bus gates for arriving widebodies here at AMS.. Thanks for another great report! Brendan
See- you enjoy this boarding infrastructure despite the fact you have video evidence of why this boarding method is actually terrible. Notice how you had to backup so that some more people chucking their bags into overhead stopped you and therefore pushed you out? It quells anxiety while quietly making the boarding process last longer.
On the Delta flight, I’ve never seen the door open and close before so different than other airplanes, because when they open and close the door they always have a handle on the door to open and close it, never sliding it down, which is new to me but it’s pretty amazing, I think it’s safer for the flight attendant to do it without having to open and close it every time.
Free tarmac tour. I would never complain about that. What aircraft park at what gates is determined by operations. At AUH, DOH, DXB and the old IST it is perfectly normal for 12+ hour flights to park at remote stations.
Wow, love your videos! You are the best trip reporter. Although you are not so frequent like simply aviation, you don’t make our videos cringe with the smiley faces and stuff.
No it doesn’t, I’m pretty sure you need to have delta one tickets to enter, But you can use your sky miles card to get lounge access. Or, you need to be a medallion member
Odd question but, How tall are you? My boyfriend and I are planning our first trip out of the country and are thinking of flying Comfort+ but, He's 6'3 and I don't want him to be all scrunched up in the seats with little to no leg room.
I been flow delta once and when I got first class, you not access to sky lounge, only by using certain card or have to pay it. Only Delta One got access and first class in select domestic flight and international flight.
I just flew comfort plus (Seattle to Osaka). It did not come with lounge access. In fact, I barely noticed any difference between comfort plus and regular economy (Osaka to Seattle).
Comfort + -- NOT WORTH IT. Air France Premium Economy -- SO MUCH BETTER, British Airways World Traveller Plus -- SO MUCH BETTER, KLM Economy Comfort -- similar, but better with more leg room, Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy -- NO COMPARISON. To me, Delta's inferior. However, I will say that it seems that they bumped up Comfort + compared to when I flew in it three years ago to Spain from NYC. Back then, there was NO appreciable difference between Economy and Comfort +, NO difference AT ALL. Now it seems there's better food service, an amenities kit and the seats are better, with better IFE screens also.
Delta is the cheapest for premium economy. Air France and British Airways are charging on some days/flights the same price as business class for a premium economy seat. From Brussels to JFK, NY costs $681 with Delta. British Airways $895. That's more than $200 dollars in price difference. Is it worth it? (That's a genuine question.) Never been on a premium economy with the other 2 airlines. I do agree that the only good things on premium economy on Delta flights is, fast boarding, seat at the front of the plane and 4 inches of leg space but i would still just call that mehh.
You mention using an upgrade with Platinum. I'm newly Platinum and totally confused on how to use it. It seems like you book regular economy and then request the upgrade closer to the flight? How risky is that? Also, I just looked at flights I need to take and it said "no upgrade certificate allowed" on many of the options. Sigh.
Row 14 was OK for me, but it’s across from the lavatory (diagonal)... a lot of foot traffic... I didn’t see you mention that, what’s your take on the distance?
There are no socks. You get a toothbrush, very small tube of toothpaste, sleep mask and some very flimsy earplugs that don’t keep any noise out. You only get socks in Premium Select and of course Delta One.
I just flew Delta economy from Seattle to Paris. I barely see any difference between economy and economy comfort plus in terms of seats. Meals look exactly the same. On my way back, I flew Lufthansa Premium Economy, it was too much nicer than economy (of any airlines) with much larger seats with so much more legroom and better food.
I flew to london on delta in economy it was a night flight we bounced and swayed all the way across the atlantic ocean didn't sleep 1 second lol but it was a great vacation
Wow. 27 year old aircraft. I know Delta has been buying A350 and what not but is it not a good one to change these old birds too? Are 757 or 767 still air worthy. I would be scared crossing Atlantic in an 28 year old plane. I am nervous air traveller. 😃
When u fly delta comfort plus do the meals come free with it or do u have to pay? Also do u get all those extras for free as well? I was wondering because I’m flying to from Phoenix to jfk to San Juan in September.
Is there enough room for my dog Carrie? I have a small four pound Yorkie i am bringing with. Could you elaborate some on the room under the seat? Thanks
As a retired Purser for Delta Airlines, I appreciate your kind comments in your very comprehensive review. Please note that gate assignment at Schipol are done by the tower and all airlines flying there,including KLM, are arbitrarily assigned fates, including bus gates.
Almost had a heart attack my first time flying with Delta I thought my seat was taken. Apparently they just upgraded me to Delta Comfort 😂
The same happened to me on a Avianca's and American flight, both I was already seated.
Delta has really stepped up their game
My best flight experience was with Delta.
Other people will probably say different but I wouldn’t fly anybody other than Delta.
You’re right, others will say different
I always use delta. And just say lol. Plenty of other company are way better.
Delta is the only airline I will fly also.

Lol true bus Gates should be illegal after long hauls. Amandeuce you are the best
At schiphol it is very rare to get a busgate after a long haul. Normaly the bus gate are for the klm embraers.

watch out there is different 767 configs
Amandeuce yeah but I'm on this configuration...for now
@@amandeuce This configuration is 76Z v2?
Delta rocks!
Hi Amandeuce!
Another great and well made report, really enjoyed it!
I actually hate those early afternoon/evening TATL flights back to Europe. I find it so hard to fall asleep (as it just turns night at your original destination once you arrive).

Never knew we used bus gates for arriving widebodies here at AMS..
Thanks for another great report!

I really like that pale ale, I usually get it on Delta flights now :)
I just wonder how tall are you. Sitting in Delta Comfort, what....35 instead of 31 in economy....leg room. You look comfortable.
I'm 1.78 or 5'10
Amenities wise, Delta isn't anything special, but I do think their staff are much better than a lot of other Airlines.
The music is catchy in this video
glad you like it!
"WAIT WAIT"
*Lady with hammock* oh christ...
Nice trip report
Delta is the exception off the airline industry here in North America.
the IFE was surprisingly new despite the age of the aircraft. They must have upgrađe the IFE
My first flight was Delta. I actually enjoyed it and will fly with them again.
Never been on a 767 so had no idea the cabin door slides from above! Pretty unique feature.
HB45175 The DC 10 had a sliding door too!
Protocol Officer it’s very old school
Exactly! The 767 is a unique plane!
30,000 FT: NOO, WE LEFT JEFF AT THE DARN AIRPORT!
Great job.
But,even if you fly a lot,the view in and out of SLC is one of the prettiest anywhere.

Beautiful scenery in SLC!
Iam doin Albuquerque to SL on comfort plus how cool !!! Thanks for the video 😊
Ugh the delays are the worst. The seating looks nice and comfortable though.
I am 6'2" can I survive comfortably in DElta economy....for a 12 hour flight? Thank you for any advice.
So I'm not the only one who was moved to Comfort + unintentionally?
The only thing I wanted to see was how much the comfort plus seat reclines , and you didn’t show it
Are you sure Economy Comfort Plus comes with lounge access?
No it doesn’t, I’m pretty sure you need to have delta one tickets to enter, But you can use your sky miles card to get lounge access. Or, you need to be a medallion member
I'm platinum with delta, eco plus does not come with lounge access
Good review! I’m all about climate change but come one man, have you seen Al Gore’s home? Massive mansion with massive footprint.
Really loved this video!
Deltas Features and amenities are top notch. No wonder they are the worlds best global airline
Going to fly Comfort+ on an A321 to MSP and a 737-900ER going back to SAN.
This will be in August! :)
have a great flight michael!
At least your not flying the 737 MAX
Why do you fly so much? Just curious.
I love flying! thats it. and sometimes for vacation ;)

This flight did not want to happen lmao
Lol. The pilot is missing i laughed that part
Delta and jet blue for sure

Team Samsung!!!!! 6:41
Excellent vid. Thanks for this. :)
Did the seat in front of you have a window?
yes but weirdly aligned
Pretty basic to me
Is Delta club included in Comfort+ ? or do you have a Medallion membership?
nope not included. I got in with my platinum status
if you are Gold Med , or above, on international, you and one person can go in sky club.in USA, France and amsterdam, not UK.
Gore's first movie was so full of egregious factual errors that british courts ruled schools must disclose every mistake before screening it.
i like your name
@@amandeuce did you calculate the emissions on the flight? Obviously not, next time take a dugout........gives validity to your semi belief system.
7:34 Totally agree! When I got off my first long-haul from Seattle to Keflavík, we had a bus gate. It sucked.
Very nice trip repoert/review.
Thanks for the video! Bringing my wife to Chile in 11 days and it's good to see what Comfort+ is all about!
how was the flight?

this is fire
Delta Comfort+ has free access to sky lounge?
Not anymore
Great presentation!!! I sure hope you got some rest!
Same size as their economy seat. Just a couple of additional inches of leg room. Compared to Virgin Atlantic's Premium Economy, Delta's product sucks.
can I use the Lounge at the Airport with Delta Comfort Plus?
Why no window seat? It was a great review though!
Row 14 was OK for me, but it’s across from the lavatory (diagonal)... a lot of foot traffic... I didn’t see you mention that, what’s your take on the distance?
Nice Sleep Kit! What was inside?
eyeshades and earplugs for sure, maybe even socks
There are no socks. You get a toothbrush, very small tube of toothpaste, sleep mask and some very flimsy earplugs that don’t keep any noise out. You only get socks in Premium Select and of course Delta One.
I started to subscribe and donate to your patreon but then you recommended Al Gore. Lol.
the bus taxi isn't that bad cause you get a good view of the plane of you get off, I mean id be enjoying the view but that's just me.
Do they give complimentary headphones?
So comfort + get the lounge what else do they get cause we waited in the regular line for everything it sucked
Wie immer ! Danke bestens !
and this is not the cheapest economy fare is it?
I just flew Delta economy from Seattle to Paris. I barely see any difference between economy and economy comfort plus in terms of seats. Meals look exactly the same. On my way back, I flew Lufthansa Premium Economy, it was too much nicer than economy (of any airlines) with much larger seats with so much more legroom and better food.
the difference is the additional legroom you get in eco plus. it is not premium economy.
I flew to london on delta in economy it was a night flight we bounced and swayed all the way across the atlantic ocean didn't sleep 1 second lol but it was a great vacation
Hope you bought carbon offsets hippie
Do they offer seatbelt extenders?
Awesome video! Delta long haul seems good even compared to Asian carriers! Great vid!!
In 2 days I’m flying I hope I won’t experience delta like this 🤣🤣🤣 feat. Older lady and wait wait wait
how was the flight?

So unproffesional...
When u fly delta comfort plus do the meals come free with it or do u have to pay? Also do u get all those extras for free as well? I was wondering because I’m flying to from Phoenix to jfk to San Juan in September.
meals on long haul international flights are always free on delta. and yes all extras are included!
We had to do a bus gate when we left Paris CDG!!! But I was flying Delta and it was a great flight!!!!
I hate bus gates after a long haul flight!
do u know qfs aviation
Is there enough room for my dog Carrie? I have a small four pound Yorkie i am bringing with. Could you elaborate some on the room under the seat? Thanks
ugh no idea how big dogs are but if its a tiny puppie i think it fits under the seat
Delta is truly the best
Delta Comfort + is really so much better than the new premium economy in my opinion.
What is the extra cost for comfort plus
I booked the same seats like the guys in front of you. Is there a TV& tray“❓❓
yes there is!
Do you get the lounge access with purchase of comfort plus?
nope
what about the recline of the seat ? Much better than regular economy ?
The only thing I care about , what the heck !
LOL @ "old lady"
Is it just me or does the current Delta logo look like the old Canadian Airlines logo?
thats just you :P
I agree with Ted. Every time I see a Delta plane at the airport, for a split second: Canadian? Oh, Delta!
