I fly from St. Louis to London and back every year. Just got back this past Saturday. Flew Delta Premium Select for the first time. Never going back to regular coach. Ever.
It is a nicer way to go for sure!
As a 6'8 man, its never about the amenities but the legroom. Especially with knee knee issues. Chose Delta's premium select in the sections bulkhead. First time flying to Asia, so I really hope its a comfortable flight for me. Plus I hope the bathroom is roomy for me. I may have to use a first class bathroom to avoid my legs from sticking out with the door open. LOL! I wish someone would video the bathrooms on these planes. Thanks for the video!
I realized after the fact that I hadn't filmed the bathroom, but I remember that it was definitely not especially roomy.
I'd love to hear how your flight to Asia was on Premium Select. Am currently considering whether it's worth it for a flight to Australia. It's a whopping 900,000 points! :O
900,000 😲 I'd love to hear how it goes too.
Thank you foe sharing your flight. Yes, as I have learned over these years of frying, I have to have more space for knees and legs. Being 6'2" and when I have flown in Economy, I am always glad to have th seat neat to me empty. Second, over the last several years I have used points to upgrade to Business Class on those long-haul flights. In Premium Economy the first row and seats on the far right or left behind the bulk head is what I look for if Business Class is full. That is watch I look for in flying.
Sorry about the foe! That should be "for"!
Good to know, thanks for the tips on the leg room!
@@MilesAwaywithUs You are welcome.
Great video! Im flying PS from Heathrow to Salt Lake in december on an a330-200. My original direct flight by Delta from Schipol to SLC got cancelled, so I had to go from LHR instead (I hate transfers). Base tickets were 50% more, but I lucked out and PS was like only 20% more than Main Cabin so I went with that. Also got bulkhead seats. With back issues I hope the upgraded seats are worth the extra cost (even if I got a good deal on the upgrade) :)
I bet you'll really love the PS compared to coach for sure! And 20% more is a score! Safe travels!✨️
Excellent video. Flew Air France from Detroit to Paris in PE. Could never really get comfortable in the seat. Flew Delta One back from Dublin to JFK. Now that was spectacular.
Thank you! And I agree, Delta One was amazing!
We are back from a 18 day European trip. KLM LAX to Netherlands was exceptional experience (Premium Comfort) KLM service on board was excellent and food was very good. Our way back Delta assigned Airfrance Paris to LAX. Seats were hard and Premium Select was not up to par and very old plane (777-300) without newer upgrades. Airfrance staff average and food was basic. At this point I'm bouncing between United and Delta for my next Euro travel. Since we are a family of 6, we do have to watch our budget and Premium comfort is likely our highest option we have. Love the videos and we are subscribed.
Thanks so much for the info and the subscription! Curious what United is like, I haven't flown with them in decades, mostly because I have Delta miles etc 😁
@@MilesAwaywithUs We flew last year from LAX to Geneva via United. We stopped at Newark, NJ. The plane was a United 777-200 but the inside was very nice. We got free upgrade to Business Class from NJ to Geneva. On they way back. Rome to NJ then LAX. We used our premium comfort seats. No issues and I would say service and experience was better than Airfrance by quite a lot. Delta is a trusted airlines but the partnership with Airfrance I don't trust. Just sharing our experience.
Ooh love the free biz class upgrade--very cool! 👌
Huh delta don’t have any 777. They were all retired.
@@Sanhsh1enATL "Delta assigned our ticket to Airfrance. We flew Airfrance"
WOW! what lovely honest reportage..your voice is soothing, demure, and seemingly accurate regarding the Delta Premium select product.
Question: Was the tape removed from the seat next to you?..it seemed particularly obtrusive.
really nice video!
Thank you, what a nice thing to say! The tape stayed, but the seat being empty for all those hours was lovely 😀
I Like The Product Delta Premium Slelect.Great Work
Thank you!
@@MilesAwaywithUs Welcome
I like the eco-friendly utensils and plates cups etc.
I appreciate the idea of them, I just don't love the taste of wooden flatware 🙃
I have seen various films about Delta Premium Economy and the all contained noise cancelling head phones in the amenity kit , why not on this flight??
Hmm, not sure? I didn't notice the lack, probably because I rarely use headphones on flights. 😌
lucky.. that the seat next to you was not available.. good video!
Thank you! And yes, that empty seat was such a bonus!
We are trying out premium select from ATL to Heathrow. Long flight over night I want my legs up and to possibly take a nap, (never sleep on flights) I hope the better reclining chair helps, as far as delta one. I would love the experience but I am just too stingy with my travel for fun funds to spend it on the flights. Thanks for the video.
I hear ya, you'll definitely be able to get more comfortable in the PS seat. Delta One was probably a once in a lifetime thing for me, too. I'd rather use our travel money to go *more often* than...just for the ride over, but it sure was something 😆
I flew this same flight (Paris to SLC) and class about 6 months ago and thought it was great. However, the comment about "not a ton of leg room" from someone that is 5'4" sitting in a seat with 38" of pitch is confusing to me. What airline/class do you usually fly? The only time I (6'7") have had better was getting bumped up to a Sky Suite on JAL coming back from Tokyo.
I think I mentioned it because with the leg rest extended, there was no room for my toes except kind of sideways.. My knees were fine though 😁
Thanks for the upload. My only experience with Delta Premium Select (premium economy) was just before the pandemic. There was no separate cabin, we we just allocated the first few rows in the main cabin and from observation the seats were only marginally larger. Food was appalling and service disinterested. Seems you had a much better experience but my flight put me off Delta permanently. Maybe one day I will try them once more 😀
Thanks! It was definitely a lovely flight, (but then I'm used to mostly coach). I would definitely try it again, although it's not worth paying double or triple coach prices.
That's comfort plus. That's not premium select.
@@flaviaruffner1074 Correct. He/she wasn't in Premium Select; rather Comfort +.
Very helpful as we plan our upcoming 15 hour flight.
Thank you, glad to help! Have a great trip! 😀
Thanks for this review 🙂 I will soon try it from Zürich to JFK in April
You're welcome!
I will be traveling Delta Premium Select from JFK to Amsterdam at the end of the month. I was told they offer noise cancelling headphones, which would be great so I don't have to schlep my 2 pair for me and my wife.. Can you confirm if they still offer this amenity?
I'd double-check with Delta just in case. I didn't need noise canceling headphones on my PS flight last fall, but they may have had them available. Hope they do-- have a great trip!
Nicely done. Thank you.
Thank you! 😃
Paper dishes? Delta always keeping it classy.
🤣
You and me both on the spicy food. I'm not Gordon Ramsey. Simple meals are all I need.
Glad it's not just me! Like can't we just have something that doesn't include onions and peppers? I guess I never outgrew all my childhood picky eating quirks 😆
How old is this video? As delta stop using the Tumi amenity kit 2 years ago
That was November 10th, 2022.
Nice editing. Makes me want to book a random trip to Paris just because. I haven't been there in a loooong time. However, I don't understand your comment about the banboo flatware. I am glad airlines use alternative options (as opposed to plastic), but wish they would all use stainless flatware that can be reused. However, when I travel I usually carry a banboo set with me so that I can avoid that throw away stuff and I found it does not give me a problem with TSA since it is not metal.
Thank you, this video was literally put together while I was trying to learn the video editing app so I appreciate your feedback! 🙂
The bamboo, I totally understand the sustainability but the taste of it makes me shudder. Can't help it, lol.
@Miles Away with Us well, then... don't eat it??? Haha just kidding, I am amazed at your learning skills. I have been trying to learn several editing programs, but I guess this old Tiger just can't learn new tricks. Thank you for the reply.
@Tigers.Timeless.Treasures bahahaaa I hear you. It's just me... Try PowerDirector for editing. It's been fairly easy even for my not so techy self, and it's been fun to work with. 🙂
Great review, thanks. Will try out Premium Select in the near future on a Transatlantic flight. I'm 6-4 so I guess the legrest will not really work for me. How was the recline?
Thank you!
Recline was a bit more than coach but it didn't feel like a huge difference. Still a much more comfortable experience though.
👌👌👌 nicely done!
Thank you! I have a lot to learn about videos, but this was fun to put together for a start. ✨️
Thank you for your video. We will flying from slc to cdg at the end of next month. I know you mentioned you read rather than use the in flight entertainment. Don't they have better head phones in PS? Were you able to use the bathroom that's right behind First Class or did you have to head back toward the middle/back of the plane? Thanks.
@jenny fiori Hi Jenny! In the PS cabin, I believe they came through with headphones, but I always carry my own so I didn't grab theirs. And since I read the whole flight...I never did use them 🤭. The Delta One cabin gets the nice noise canceling ones.
The bathroom on that flight...I went towards the rear of the PS cabin to restrooms between PS and Comfort+.
You'll love PS for the leg rests though - what a treat to have that!
Hope that helps!
Thanks for a great trip report. What is your avourite trans-Atlantic airline?
You're welcome! I have to admit I haven't flown anything but Delta transatlantic, so unfortunately I can't compare, but I've also never had a bad experience on Delta.
you didn't fly first class. You flew coach with a nicer seat. Int'l first class is over the top service with double beds in the sky. The service you received was the same as coach
Delta is the only airline in the US that considers premium economy as economy. AA and UA have a business minus approach where you are provided business class meals, just not a lie flat bed
Yep, Delta's Premium Select isn't business class. It's more like domestic first, plus a leg rest. Meal was like domestic first, but also definitely a notch better than Delta long haul coach meals I've had. Thanks for the tip on AA and UA, I haven't flown either in decades.
@Miles Away with Us for those of us with legs and dietary restrictions. It's all about the space. Who cares about the food? I bring my own granola bars.
I hear ya! ✨️
Did she say first class? I didn’t hear that.
