[@Larsman73737]

I think you just got unlucky with a long haul older plane. I have had great experiences long haul

[@dymu123]

Troy Larson was the first of the United States

[@TrainsWow]

I was craving a Dantorp video and i just saw you uploaded 20 minutes ago! Perfect timing?!?

[@bradythompson5599]

Delta's 767-300s have power ports, the newer delta screens and just feel more comfortable. Their 767-400s are older and so when my parents book, we ALWAYS look for their 767-300 flights. Thanks Daniel for publishing a review of my fav airline!

[@ChrisChiappetti]

Yeah, 767-300ERs are way better and more modern than the 400s on Delta.

[@playlife86]

The Delta 767-400 has a USB power outlet too, which is located under your seat. You can really just find it with a torch, but they are there, for sure!

[@MarcelT1776]

You like tg too.

[@elbeagletommy8488]

You flew to Latin America, US Carriers usually put their better long haul aircrafts in flights to Asia and Europe rather than to LA

[@jcmendezify]

Debatable. United has several Dreamliners on South American routes.

[@thelixir715]

Yeah, I went to Chile three years ago on LAN and a 787 was great

[@rjalegria5802]

OMG exactly. I flew from CDG (Paris) to ATL and it was only 2.7 yrs old.

[@nickroberts3658]

LAN isn't a US airline

[@kaiyoung9983]

It used to be. Now it's LATAM.

[@Daniel-lx1jd]

6:28 I thought those were minutes and hours lmao

[@nathanblalock7019]

Great video as always Daniel! This just goes to show how dramatically different the cabins on varying aircraft in an airline’s fleet can be. Delta does a fantastic job of making a 20+ year old 757 or A320 look brand spanking new on the inside. Some have said that Delta is one of the only of the US3 that puts PTVs in all of their newly-delivered aircraft. Even the CS100, which is set to replace the old MD80s and some CRJs, is set to receive PTVs. I would love to see a “Business Class Week/Month/Season” where you compare the best and newest business class products from each of the US3. American Airlines’ Flagship Business (777/787), Delta Airlines’ Delta One Suite (A350), and United Airlines’ Polaris (777-300ER)!

[@Guerry-3]

Interesting comment. I'm glad to hear positives in regards to Delta.

[@flywithhuddy]

Delta’s 767-300ERs are better than their 767-400ER

[@NonstopDan]

Hmmm, I guess I need to try that soon - it sucks I got a bad impression :/

[@applesappleapple]

Agreed, the experience is similar to that A320 on the 767-300ER

[@gerbenlei149]

Indeed really sad that you got stuck on the 764 it is one of the few types in their fleet that havent been updated! 763 a330’s the nee a350 they are all great! And those prices for comfort+ are inname from ams to atl comfort+ is 75 USD

[@davidsilva4509]

Agreed. I flew Delta Airlines on the 767 300 from Newark to Paris and the experience was really good. The plane that I went in also had better entertainment screens and better seats.

[@yingdeng488]

Yeah it is

[@franzpohlmann7513]

That 767 cabin was obviously pretty old

[@franzpohlmann7513]

It all depends on the plane with all the us carriers

[@NonstopDan]

They are consistently inconsistent :/

[@joseph4984]

I love how clear security in the USA still takes longer than security ever does in any London airport.

[@delta_cosmic]

i gotta say Delta airlines is a really good airline. better then United and American. i'd say American is second.

[@chris-mv3gf]

Yeah, AND it boycotted the NRA. So did United, but then again, it's United...

[@billcooley491]

I️ agree.

[@Anthony.laurenceau]

No American is second

[@spogeo45]

I love your videos Daniel. They’re informative and they’re really relaxing. I can’t travel so I live vicariously through you.

[@CoddiwomplingMiguel]

Anyone else noticed the X contrails made at 5:04 to 5:09? So cool!

[@Alaska-mk4ok]

I got a free upgrade to a comfort plus window seat on the last Delta flight I went on.

[@MinnesoTristan]

Thanks for the awesome reviews! I just finished the Economy Week playlist in one sitting, and I learned so much! I live in Milwaukee so Delta is my preferred airline, but I am flying American through PHX to LAX in September, and after watching your review I'm excited to give them another chance. I was also excited to learn about Norwegian, I looked them up and they have flights from Chicago to London starting at $360. I may have to try them next year! Thanks for the great reviews!

[@jaysundae]

Ah yess, Daniel! Missed your videos. Can't wait to see the roundup video of the economy week and everything that comes after that :D

[@NonstopDan]

Aaaah I missed you guys too!! I'll make sure not to get sick again - I need my voice haha!

[@grahamrothphotography]

I flew a Delta A330 to Hong Kong from Seattle in Economy, was amazing, good leg room, menus for meals, free alcohol, just amazing service in general!!

[@williamguy7969]

I had to connect from T to F gates at Atlanta coming from Zurich one time, but the train had stopped working, so I had to walk the whole length of the airport! What a pain but I was glad i didn't miss my flight like many others.

[@beefbrisket168]

I agree with your views on the Delta A320 cabin when i was flying it. I did once get to fly in Delta Comfort+ (Free Upgrade no special status, Domestic flight) good legroom and premium snacks did not take the complimentary alcohol. I did fly the 767-400 domestic in economy and was not comfortable for the seat

[@reece650]

Delta Great Airline. I was really happy when i went with them one of the best economy flight i have done.

[@c.k.1252]

Your DL International crew was so old because ATL, though large, is still a pretty senior base and I think the Lima trip goes really senior (hence all of the "seasoned" FA's). The most junior was probably the LODO or language speaker.

[@alejandrosantander9752]

Hey! When are you comparing Delta / American / United Business class. That would be awesome!

[@jewpiterjones]

I have flown on those ageing Delta 767-400s many times. If you have a standard size iPad with folding case, you can hang the iPad over the IFE by folding the front over in half and wedging it in between the IFE screen and the seat it is embedded within. Works great and makes everyone around you super jealous. You can see me doing this on several videos in my channel!

[@savvylee123]

I flew on a delta Boeing 767 from Ohio to Paris and it was an amazing experience! The food was amazing and they kept coming around serving alcoholic drinks all night! I wonder if it depends on where the flight is going and coming from that makes the difference in food options!

[@NewYorkAviation]

the upgrade price is insane! Qantas upgraded me to business on there 747 from JFK-LAX for $200 from economy! and Qantas business is actually nice. I even got a window seat on the top deck!

[@richik_sc]

For an AMS-MSP flight, comfort+ was $119

[@CVON12]

I think you should definitely try long haul again. Their 767400 which is what you were on, is an older cabin and their 767300s are awesome. And more similar to the rest of the Delta fleet. The 767400 is sorta the oddball, but it takes time to refurbish those aircraft. Give Delta a chance long haul again, just not in the 767400. I love them and their service.

[@andreiharden6661]

I flew the Delta 767. You are absolutely correct about it. My flight was terrible and the entertainment didn't work for 2 hours of it. You are wrong by saying that there aren't usb ports. There are next to many or most seats. They are far below and between the seats, but if you look for them you can find them. That being said, they don't work during half the flight and on a 7 hour flight, charged my phone 5%. Not great, but for marketing purposes, they are there.

[@srinimanikyala3566]

I’m a frequent flyer. I’m would say Delta is the best airlines in US in terms of Economy seats leg room and onboard entertainment system. 1.Delta 2.Southwest 3.AA 4.United(United economy legroom is the worst )

[@expattraveler2654]

Welcome to boarding a plane in Central/South America 101. I'm so used to this lol

[@harrisonstern7449]

well here's the thing, for the flight to ATL, it appeared you were on an older aircraft, while Delta has begun upgrading there A320's. though I must say I've had similar experiences with United and Delta whereas on United I had a 14-hour flight the Entertainment screens were worse than a six-hour flight. but I've also had fantastic experiences with both United and Delta​.

[@VibeXplorer]

Great video, as usual! The reason for the intense Coca-Cola advertising is that both Delta and Coca-Cola are both headquartered in Atlanta. Clearly, some hometown partnership at work.

[@NonstopDan]

What a "sweet" partnership ;) Thanks for watching man!

[@JenS52]

I think it depends on where you go. To Europe, their long haul is great! I always fly them to The Netherlands, or KLM.

[@coleadams1207]

I flew on Delta from Minneapolis to Honolulu on a a330 and back on a 767-400. The difference is crazy. The a330 was super new and comfortable but the 767-400 was old and uncomfortable. Definitely go for the a330 or 777 over the 767 on Delta.

[@ksmashgamer5748]

Cole Adams I

[@kenouryios]

Cole Adams hi Cole what were the width of the seats like for comfort +? . I’m flying from Detroit to Tokyo and need more room .

[@DominatorPlayer]

when i fly to Lima, Peru, i usually go on Lan’s 767 or 787 or Avianca’s a321s. They’re really nice

[@kmvstudios9072]

Comfort plus is actually premium Economy on Delta, which is why it costs more than you expected

[@anostalgic3402]

I think you were unlucky Dan with the 767-400. Having flown Delta’s 767-30ER I can comfortably say that their service is top notch. Regarding the seatbelts sign on until top of climb it’s a standard procedure used in the US, first of all safety of the passengers. Even on clear days during a climb your more likely to encounter turbulence, due to the varying temperatures and changes in wind speed and air pressure. As your in the climb there is also changes in pitch attitude of the plan if you levelled off for some reason during your climb. Remember some people unfortunately will sue the airline if they get injured due to things mentioned above so it’s also a way to protect yourself if seat belt sign is on. Great video as always!

[@aerobobby]

Hang on, how come that A320 had non-standard overhead panels and bins?! I’ve NEVER seen that before!

[@eli_man3811]

Delta's refurbished a319 and a320 cabins are amazing! I flew on the a319 from SEA to SFO.

[@TheSentinel091482]

Dude I've been waiting for this video for days now. I was tired of refreshing your channel all the time looking for the video.

[@nicoth.412]

For everybody watching this video now: The 767-400ERs are currently being retrofitted with Delta's newer Economy Class that can also be found on their A330s, A350s etc.

[@pokepress]

I have to give Delta credit for their hubs in Atlanta, Detroit, and the Twin Cities (been to LAX and LGA but don’t have enough experience to judge). Very well maintained.

[@BlakeEdgington]

Really enjoying the economy week videos. Planning some summer 2019 USA flights and your reviews are a huge help.

[@seandoherty925]

Thanks for your third 'larger US carriers Economy' report. They all seemed pretty good, though frequently not well organized with boarding, seating etc. Not much improved from my experience of them over the years. I guess for a lot of their customers the thing that keeps them loyal to one carrier is frequent flyer programs.

[@ksmashgamer5748]

This is basically a Jetstar 787-8 experience, but with USB Power + more modern IFE with increased size

[@michaelcoupland6909]

Question about the price difference between extra legroom prices. If United only charged $85 and Delta charged $258 there must be a difference in what you get for the price. I haven't looked for myself yet but you tend to get more for your money with Delta from my experience. Correct me if I am wrong.

[@antoniowood8119]

This is so funny watching almost 5 years later, Delta got so much better and the IFE is so good (especially on Domestic flights)

[@rf821]

This review surprises me...I fly between London and Boston regularly and find DL really has the best* international economy, granted the flight is almost always on a 763, but a very solid product. ( by far the best food & Crews) The good news is the 764's are getting overhauled soon w premium economy and Delta 1 suites.

[@jmonk96]

I love Delta Airlines. My favorite airline. I've been lucky enough to experience Delta One on b767-400 many times and the service is always fantastic.

[@bensommer4529]

I sat on an older 767-400 like the one shown in the video from Munich to Atlanta with IFE screens that were not working that day :) I can assure you that Delta's 767-300 is much better

[@PokeyJr12]

Domestic Delta? AWESOME! I had problems with my eyesight so they let me board first! I have NEVER been on a completely empty. Service was great. When we landed I had to go through Canadian customs...they made sure I was able to navigate through that!

[@sonicxc1504]

Love the videos I could binge watch for a long time.

[@tedsmart3811]

Thanks for the seamless integration of your sponsor. It actually make me curious about CLEAR.

[@NonstopDan]

I only collaborate with brands that I love and use myself, hence the pleasure with which I showcase their product :) You really should give them a try - the sample is free :D

[@jordanalexander4331]

Their 767-300ers are way ahead of their 400ers, their 400 sires are used on shoter flights, the 300er has the best of the best so fly the 767-300er next time and the 767-400er is specifically on the ATL- LIM LIM-ATL route.

[@EthanMurer915]

Not even a month after you flew on a Delta 767... I flew on their 767 and it was tight but it looked much more modern. Much better than your experience.

[@hoderharris]

Used to fly Delta exclusively. I think there product is now very hit or miss. It’s interesting that their flight attendants are on the older side which can be both positive and negative. Overall I prefer American economy over Delta. I flew Delta premium to from DC to Los Angeles last week and have to say the extra cost was worth it. Delta by the way now owns a portion of Virgin Air and I can say the Virgin Air culture being incorporated into Delta here and there. Great review,thanks.

[@CC80]

I'd like to see a long haul review of Delta from say Minneapolis to Europe as a standard.

[@CVON12]

To be fair with the price comparison of comfort +, you took the prices from two different markets and compared them. In order to compare correctly, I think you should compare from the exact same market and same routing. Not one leaving the country and another coming back.

[@jonasfruhling5266]

One should mention now that Delta has upgraded its 767-400s... And even earlier its 767-300ER aircraft where much more up to date than their 767-400 aircraft

[@ShivDewan99]

I think you got a little unlucky with the 767-400ER on the Lima-JFK route because I have flown them several times on their A330, 767-300ER, and 777-200LR, all of which offer products leaps and bounds ahead of those offered by United and American on their long haul flights. Better seats, IFE, service... overall, it always felt like a better experience than the other two. Not to mention that Delta's in the process of retrofitting their 767-400ERs. You should give them another shot sometime on a European leg!

[@staceykimberlin5158]

I am planning a long haul flight from the USA to Australia and was thinking about taking Delta, now not so sure

[@bensharma8385]

Stacey Kimberlin I believe this plane is older. On there newer planes the seats look very nice. Since you mentioned a flight from USA to Australia, there delta one (buisness class) is very nice. Haven’t been on it but I have seen reviews and images of it.

[@madingwang7778]

Usually Delta only uses the 767 on "long and skinny" routes; long haul flights with very low demand, like from Portland to Tokyo. If you want to fly on on a better Delta long haul plane, take a popular route like from New York to London

[@sahajpatel1553]

Those 3 weeks felt like a year!

[@JaydenWong]

Delta used to fly HKG-Tokyo, it was one of the best airlines to fly within Asia!

[@jodydorsett8726]

I have the same thoughts about Delta short haul vs. long haul. It began long haul operations long enough ago that it shouldn't have such a clear difference between the services.

[@billcooley491]

250 dollars is not outrageously expensive for that flight. A 40 minute flight from Burlington Vermont to JFK is $186, that’s an outrageous price.

[@mikehueter3982]

From 6:18 to 6:38 where did you film the scene under? Was it the scanner where you put all all belongings such as laptops and phones? How do we get permission from the TSA to film it?

[@genocideking1622]

Quick question I’m going to fly from Phoenix Az, to JFK then on to San Juan Puerto Rico in September. I’m flying delta comfort +, flying comfort plus, do I get free meals like first class and other goodies, or is it like regular coach and I have to pay for everything except soda, water and juice?

[@bhangraman7000]

I feel that if you compare Deltas 767s to United or Americans they are still vastly superior. United is still using ancient monitors from the 90s on a lot of theirs and American doesn’t offer seatback monitors on their 767s. In terms of offering a consistent ife product across the board, I still think delta is on top. United and Americans overall hard product fleet wide is inconsistent.

[@johnellington8896]

Dan, good critique of long haul vs. short haul. Always informative. Glad I am a patron. Looking forward to business class.

[@NonstopDan]

Thanks so much John!

[@squadsgt4407]

Dan. Delta is looking to replace its B767 400's it's 300's are the primary 767. So they don't refurbish them. Once Delta has founded a replacement. Most likely 787 or A330NEO-800 they will phase the 767's out of Delta.

[@ramenproductions9690]

Just dont fly Spirit and your fine.

[@cardiffflyer]

I've flown Delta long haul on their 767 300er and it seems to be better than the 400er product on your review but their A330 product is much better. I've also upgraded to Comfort plus for much less $140 on their PDX-AMS route. I've always enjoyed flying Delta. Great video!

[@jblyon2]

I had a flight last week in Delta's redone A319 in first. I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't think they were doing to install IFE on the A319 but the whole plane was outfitted. I love not having to take out my laptop and just plugging in my headphones into the seat. Their old IFE is TERRIBLE, so I sympathize if you get stuck on a plane that has it. I have no idea why they wouldn't upgrade the much more profitable international birds before domestic.

[@bradleecaslin597]

2:53 Tui Airlines UK says there's is USB ports on long haul but not the 767 304ER and them are Tui's long haul Airplanes this TV was the same size and kind

[@gerardmoran9560]

You need to study the price control concept. Delta provides a premium service and commands a premium price. That's not my opinion, it's their successful business model. Spend more time flying and you'll see what I mean. Numerous studies/ratings illustrate this. Happy landings

[@patrickomahony2617]

As someone who has flown United's 767 on a transatlantic route I think the advice really should be : Don't fly the 767! at least on US carrriers.

Thanks so much for the kind words! :D

[@brendan6066]

Dantorp Aviation no problem! I’m happy to share them for my favorite youtuber!

[@figojonny]

I liked that you did this economy week however, I feel it would have been much more useful and consistent were you to have reviewed all three airlines on the same routes (for example: LAX to NYC for the domestic leg and NYC to LHR for the international leg, since all three airlines have a significant presence in those markets). Just a thought for future airline comparisons, as I hope there will be many more!

[@peterk3332]

I guess the 3-month trial option for CLEAR is no longer available? I’m interested, but I want to try it before I buy it since I don’t fly a whole bunch and my home airport doesn’t even have CLEAR yet. Really like the vid! I’ve flown delta a lot recently, and I don’t think Comfort+ is really worth it just for a little extra leg room. I sat comfort+ once from HNL to NRT one way because the price was low AND it was a bulkhead seat after flying to HNL in a seat right in front of the bathroom with super limited recline.

You have to understand the 767 is an old plane, that is why the screens are small

[@ryanc6814]

I have never have had an experience like you did on their 767. Give their long haul another try, hope you'll receive better.

Glad you're feeling better!

[@cadenfellows1794]

You got VERY unlucky. You got the 767-400, which is older. The 767-300ERS are amazing!

[@aviationstudios]

Did you know that when walking between conversed at altanta, you walk through various exhibits. They are all really cool 😎. You should decently check then out next time. Anyway great video. But my Home airlines is way too expensive

[@Me-wk3ix]

Good review. I totally get you saying that the other airlines having more flight attendants that speak Spanish was a plus. I agree with that. Where I wasn't quite sure how to take what you said was when you commented on Delta's tendency to hire "older, white, American women". I mean, they have to work somewhere, right? I guess I'll just assume positive intent, that you were simply commenting on lack of diversity in hiring within Delta, and not putting down a group of people.

[@ikramcader850]

Please do a video about air miles and please do a review of british airways economy class.
