Thanks bro! Just what I was looking for a thorough review.

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

Your welcome.

[@tedwinnofficial]

I'm flying this equipment from JFK to GRU next week. I'll be in premium select. This was helpful. The other thing I wish you had covered is how comfortable the seat is and how far it reclines.

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

Comfort was middle of the pack for me in terms of comfort. The recline is something I have started covering on more recent reviews. Thank you for the feedback.

[@retroflashbackdude]

Premium Select seats recline up to 75% more than regular coach, which on Delta reclines up to 4” (giving Premium Select up to 7” of recline). Also note that on transatlantic flights using short haul planes business class is sold as Premium Select. Whereas on domestic flights using 3-class planes (including premium transcon), Premium Select is sold as Comfort+.

[@zwinbtwn365]

Your video is a lot better than the others about the Premium Select class. Thank you

[@brokenjellybean]

Thanks for reviewing this so thoroughly. I have to fly from LA to Barcelona in the fall of next year. Business class is just too expensive so was looking at this product and it seems pretty decent. Thanks again!

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

Premium Economy has become a nice option in the middle price wise.

[@daniyoh]

Those plates aren’t plastic they’re bagasse plates made from sugarcane plant fiber made to be biodegradable. Dishes is also part of what separates a first class experience vs their DPS experience while still having that elevated experience for a less expensive option then first class while still being eco friendly. Good video none the less

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

Thanks for the explanation

[@beavermuffin]

They use the same plates in main cabin also. But what separates from Main Cabin and DPS, in Main Cabin, cutlery is made of Bamboo Cutlery (same one they use on domestic first class) and no white table cloth. Also menu selection is more higher quality in DPS. (I wish they kept the pre-COVID serving style in Premium Select, they had more larger portion this way, but I guess this is to keep catering cost low)

I liked that little space for a water bottle ! Nicely designed ! 👌 I assume you're right on the comparison between American airlines vs Delta on their premium economy flights ! But,as being a vegetarian who still enjoys ( used to be vegan for a real long time ) mostly & definitely on my flights ,they say American airlines do a very good job on that meal category ! So, I am leaning toward their premium economy flight to visit Argentina in the near future with my mom ! Besides my mom knows a pilot from American airlines, not sure if he's still flying ,though ! Also ,not sure if he flies to Argentina, but vaguly remember he said so !! Lol Mom loves pilots !! Lol. What do you think of United ones ? I had horrid experiences with 'em in my past ,stopped using them ! But,lately the polls say they are now better & American airlines is the worst when it comes to the services / liability, I believe ! ? Lol. 😅 This doesn't help ! Lol.💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞

Thanks for posting this review. Will be traveling this flight in a few months. I think you were in the third/last row. How misaligned was the window? Could you see much? Did you have to turn to look behind you?

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

I was in the last row. I had a perfect view out of the window as the seat is aligned with the window. Safe travels.

[@GilbertTravels]

Delta's Premium Select looked really promising when they came out. More of a business lite soft product. Definitely not the case now! Comfortable seat though.

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

Yes. I am waiting for someone to “innovate” a little bit to separate their product a little from what we see now.

I like your videos. I wish Delta's PS would go back to pre-COVID levels. But then again, my higher wish is for Delta ONE to go back to pre-COVID levels. The food is just YUCK in ONE since COVID. Have never flown Delta PS but remember what was offered pre-COVID.

[@Haggis1313]

Hi! We are flying from Scotland via Amsterdam to USA on Delta Premium Select and have chosen the 3rd/back row. I think that may have been same row you sat in. Do you lose any recline space being in that row? I don’t like inconveniencing people by reclining and that’s why I chose this row! Great video

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

No. You won’t lose any recline sitting in the last row fortunately. I agree with you in not wanting to inconvenience people because it can be hard to get out of the seat especially if your at the window while someone is reclined. Enjoy your trip!

[@hagodi]

The first row where the screen is on the wall is the same as sitting behind someone or further out?

[@blesskittens4484]

We were not offered a menu for food. We were offered a choice of two entrees. One of the choices was vegetarian. No preflight beverage and snack was offered. A breakfast sandwich (dry and cold) was offered before landing. Bathroom filthy six hours into flight. No inbetween freshening of bathroom. Minneapolis to Budapest. Other than extra leg room, not worth the extra money. Very disappointing. Sub par at best.

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

@@BrandonJohnson10K I enjoyed your detailed recap, however, I watched a couple more from others as well. Our experience was nothing like all of yours, especially the food and service. I’m a little puzzled as to why our experience was so different and minimal. It was an eight hour flight. Thank you

Same sh as in every other airline. Unfortunately if you want to be treated as human being without breaking your legs when someone lies down in front of you the only option is business class

So when I go to Delta website / online to book one of these seats/ tickets, do I select what Delta calls Comfort+ or does it state Delta Premium Select? IS this what Google Flights other flights all Premium Plus? Very confusing. Thanks.

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

If your searching on Delta you would select Premium Select which is Delta’s moniker for Premium Economy. In Google Flights you would search for Premium Economy and it would pull all airlines with Premium Economy. Please note that Premium Select ( Premium Economy ) isn’t available on all Delta longhaul routes.

[@greatfallskam]

@@BrandonJohnson10K Planning a trip from Wash. / DC metro to Quito ( UIO ). You think Delta Premium Select is better seating and benefits for this Americas flight over United, American, others? Thanks.

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

@@greatfallskam Well as I think you would be getting to Quito via ATL I don’t believe Delta offers Premium Select on that route. I don’t think UA or AA offer Premium Economy either. You will need to be going to deep South America such as GRU or EZE with Delta and the other American carriers. I do think for the right price comfort plus could be worth it to UIO

[@greatfallskam]

@@BrandonJohnson10K looks like Delta offers what they call Comfort+ ( Plus ) . Based on the flight seating on the Boeing 767-300 from ATL to Quito ( UIO ) this looks like equivalent to Premium Economy. In a 2-3-2 seating configuration. More leg room, beverage / drink, board early, more leg room, dedicated overhead bin, etc. But nothing special like the Delta Premium Select seating configuration. When I can find a Delta Premium Select, pricing is more like first class on other flights. Thanks.

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

@@greatfallskam Yes it depends on the markets because I have seen some on the Delta Reddit thread be offered $100-$150 upgrade offers to Premium Select on European routes which is a great price. The 767-300 is long in the tooth and I don’t believe Delta has plans to retrofit those with Premium Select. I did do a recent review of Delta’s 767-300 albeit on a domestic route but you can check it out to at least see the cabin as it’s a good Economy cabin in my opinion.

Just got a flight to go see my Son , really don't fly alot but paid for this. Mine said three seats for on the way home it says I'm in the middle? Can't do the middle, freaks me out I've called they said just ask when you get on flight. do you think I have a chance of getting out of the middle. Also is the seat bigger? As I do belong to the big butted Womans club lol Blessings

[@BrandonJohnson10K]

Haha about Big Butted Woman’s Club. You should be able to switch your seat in the Delta App itself. If the seat map is showing that it is full then you will need to wait until you get to the airport to see if an agent can move you because while the seat map can show full now it may change between now and the time your flight leaves. The seat isn’t huge and the armrests aren’t moveable so it could make for an uncomfortable ride. Depending what they offer may be it may be worth looking at what it cost to upgrade to Delta One ( Business Class ). Not sure how long your flight is or what route your flying but something to consider at least.
