Delta Comfort: Is Premium Economy worth the money?

In this trip report, we'll take a look at Delta Comfort so you can determine whether premium economy is worth the money. We'll highlight the benefits of Delta Comfort and also discuss how to get a seat in Delta Air Lines' premium economy cabin.
The flight I took was between Atlanta and Bermuda so that means, in addition to seeing the seat and amenities of the Delta Comfort Premium Economy cabin, there are stunning views of Bermuda's beautiful ocean and beaches (be sure to watch to the very end!).
A Delta Comfort Review isn't complete without talking about all of the benefits that go along with the more expensive ticket, so we'll be sure to highlight them in the video.
Delta Comfort is also known as Delta Comfort+ and Delta Economy Comfort. They're all names for Delta Air Lines' entrant in the Premium Economy category.
So, please let me know in the comments section: After watching this Delta Comfort Review, do you think Premium Economy is worth the money?

I've flown Delta Comfort+ on a long haul flight and paid about $150 extra for the seat 1 way and it was worth it. Hoping to use it again in October! Great video and Bermuda looks stunning!

[@AIMLL]

Im so excited whenever you upload I'm so tempted!!

[@gabrielsasala1875]

I flew on Delta comfort+ on my flight from Orlando to LaGuardia on an A321 and I thought it was fantastic, it's the kind of flight you wish lasted longer. The flight attendants were super nice and friendly, I also enjoyed the free snacks you get on the flight

[@adammurphy6845]

Another great video Jeb. I had to chuckle when I saw the two CRJ-200 jets behind your aircraft awaiting take-off at ATL.

[@JustinMorales796]

This upcoming trip is our first trip in Comfort + and I wasnt sure what to expect. We originally booked an economy ticket and the price dropped after the required COVID tests coming into the country. So we took our original price that we paid and upgraded to Comfort+. Thanks for going over the benefits because I really had no idea. Thanks!

[@rd4469]

Thank you Frank this video. I haven't flown on Delta in years.

[@YummiMoney]

Awesome video Jeb. I would love to sometime try out Comfort + on my favorite airline Delta. Love the videos and personalized touch you have. Safe travels!

[@erichanson8567]

Thank you for you real and honest reviews. New subscriber. Keep me coming

[@alismith6353]

What a fantastic approach! Keep up the good work Jeb!

[@vincentcalvelli6452]

Hi Jeb, Thanks for another great report. I enjoy Delta’s Comfort Plus, at 6ft 4inches tall I appreciate the ability to sit comfortably without the seat back in front of me banging my knees as so often happens in economy, so to me it is worth the additional cost.

[@ambrosejoseph4843]

Yes. I just booked JFK-FCO for April in Comfort plus. Always use it. Love it. I got bulkhead on both legs.

[@crazyrandom123]

Super video dude!! Love your work. Please keep it up.

[@lilseedy_boi2749]

Awesome video and nice landing, gotta love the reefs (I’m a resident of Bermuda)

[@alanmather924]

Great video Jeff. Love delta I've seated in comfort pluse and love it. It's either first class or comfort plus. They are both the same but u dont get a meal in comfort plus.. hope to see you in the skys one day.

[@deusgreeny1973]

Hey Jeb, Love your Videos Keep up the good work!

[@BlakeEdgington]

On a short flight I probably would not spring for Comfort+ but certainly on a longer trip. Those views on approach were stunning by the way. Great footage.

[@shahpayal9319]

Thanks for the video I enjoyed it

[@AlexAviation.]

I love the premium seats looks better but still economy :) keep up your vids m8

[@stevehofmaster7489]

Hey Jeb,yes I feel this is worth it,looked really nice to me.WOW that water was absolutely gorgeous in Bermuda,very nice!

[@mrsmullins1151]

This is a great video! And for the first time, I've purchased a comfort+ seat for my flight to Cuba! So I'm really looking forward to enjoying the amenities and benefits of a comfort+ seat!

[@jussme9253]

Met you in bestbuy a few months back, where you purchased the Canon Lens. Glad to see your channel growing. Keep up the great videos on your road to 25k !

[@JustAnAverageTraveler]

I really enjoyed comfort+ on my ATL - AMS flight a while back. If you get comfort plus on a transatlantic flight, I believe it’s even better! Keep up the stunning videos, my friend.

[@tombrooks5933]

I am 6-3 and almost always fly Delta, and when I do I always get the comfort option. It isn't that much more than economy and I like boarding before everyone else, and the extra leg room. If you are price conscious then maybe you won't want to spend the extra bucks, but I feel the benefit outweighs the cost.

[@synonymousbroadcast9132]

Jeb Brooks And Tom Brooks Bros!

[@shadowduck02]

I just talk my way into an exit row seat.. has worked on my last 6 Delta flights.. either asking to be reseated right before boarding, asking on the plane, or finding someone that does not want an exit row seat and switching with them. Delta does not charge to for the exit row seat if you cannot still purchase the upgrade through the app.

[@jasonr.9863]

I’m in the same boat. The extra legroom was very much needed and appreciated. On my flight from Disney back to NY, I needed to relax, and the comfort seating afforded me that relaxation.. it’s worth the few extra bucks

[@natashajohnoson2286]

Same for me and my kids. We need the extra leg room all the time.

[@bobv5806]

I don't usually pay for Comfort+, but with Medallion status it's a nice perk when I get upgraded. I agree with Jeb that an 'upgrade' to a middle seat in C+ isn't really an upgrade if you had a window or aisle seat to begin with. Glad you liked the chicken wrap. I always buy mine in the airport now, after the one I bought onboard had exactly ONE chunk of chicken in it. Otherwise, I agree with C. Ryan that Delta is #1.

[@dillonlexington]

Jeb, another great video, thank you so much for posting. Yes, those waters were beautiful. As you know, I am not a fan of Delta, but that was a great review.

[@alejandropartida5632]

It is really worth it. You have sky priority access, a lot of extra legroom, and you can choose your snacks on most classes. I always fly comfort+ and it is the best🤩

[@lexanrsg]

Short or long flight, I like to be comfortable when travelling. I will upgrade to comfort plus after watching this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@shadowduck02]

It can be $29 more, to $500 more depending on the route.

[@nickgushue]

I went to Bermuda a couple years ago, in a westjet 737. Beautiful country.

[@leonsmith5468]

I checked out when flying from Seattle back to Raleigh/Durham. It was well worth the extra cost. I was not as tired as I was when I flew out the 1st time. Great product for longer flights.

[@60frederick]

Your video tells me why I am right to choose the window seat!

[@Blue_Marlin242]

Hey Jeff, always enjoy watching your videos!!! I noticed you did a transcons premium flights between American, Delta, United &Jet Blue. Great videos however was wondering if you can do some of those same flights maybe in regular economy class and would love to see what your favorite airline in regular economy class is! As always looking forward to your next video! -Mike

[@sergiocohen1026]

Took a flight from SCL - ATL in Economy + in a 767. That's a almost 10 hours flight. Seat pitch was really fine but besides of that no big difference from regular economy. Meal and drinks were the same and the seats were almost identical.

[@HDTravelAviation]

Wow! Great video Jeb Brooks!

[@sibua69]

I used it from Mco to lax and it was great would use it again thanks J

[@rittomakki1735]

Wowwoowoew thank you for showing us this video!! Because I always rode in economy class!! I didn't know that there is a premium economy class!! Okay from now, i always gonna go in premium economy class!!!

[@supa_hot_ice5449]

I went to the Delta Museum today, and I can see you weren't lying about your face being in the A350 video :D

[@ryanfrisby7389]

I got bumped to Comfort Plus on DL Connection CRJ-900 with Endeaver from TPA-CVG and found the legroom amazing, even more than the standard economy seat on the mainline 737-800 I had going down!

[@seth556]

I really like the Comfort+ seats on Delta. Aside from the width it’s a bit in the middle of first and Econ. The FAs come around more often, plus drinks and snacks.

[@debbiedoss3917]

Thank you for the information. When I received the notification from Delta about this program I was not inclined to add comfort plus. Now, after watching your video, I am more likely to do so. By the Way, Delta's website should list the extra benefits.

[@matthewrobins7075]

Great video Jeb!! If you ever get the opportunity you need to try QF63 SYD-JNB. The 747 400 takes you over the Antarctic with breathtaking views. however the return QF64 is a night flight and doesn't go as far south.

[@sgtoca]

Good review. Helped me with my decision for my flight nx wk and btw u brought War & Peace on the plane to read, jk....thanks for the video!

[@lancescriber-neal2746]

I can only fly Delta Comfort or First Class.....Even though 6'1" is not the tallest, I cannot fit my legs in anything else. And I loooooove the free drinks.

[@visionist7]

The only time I like being 5'7" lol

[@kevinarea]

Mentioning height and body size is important in determining whether it is worth it, so thanks for adding that. I am also 6-1 with larger legs, and the narrow seats are tight for me. My flights are typically $200 more for Comfort+ and since my frugal meter is about a 7 out of 10, I would only pay the extra $200 for a 4+ hour flight.

[@LuisVega-ze8xy]

I’m looking forward free drinks

[@aortunoj]

How many free drinks? Please answer since i have to make a decision quick. Is there a limit on the free drinks?

[@robertfloresguerra5994]

Hi Jeb I flew on Delta's comfort plus in March to Argentina from Sacramento. It was really worth the cost to me.

[@lilseedy_boi2749]

It’s cool seeing these old interiors. It gives me nostalgia. But I’m also glad we moved on to something better

[@JosephPeterL]

I was asking myself this yesterday on my last leg of the journey! But it was heavenly compared to the crj-200 I was on previously that day.

[@21xd09]

Awesome video! Looks really good and comfy! Plane looked very nice as well! You must of flown on an ex-GOL 737-800, which is why you had the Sky Interior mood lighting as well!

[@charlab.7838]

Absolutely it's worth it! My husband and I are both pretty tall and we have plenty of leg room. We always purchase the Delta Comfort or United Economy Plus when we fly.

[@JAHughes1988]

Totally worth it!! I take this flight a lot. It’s like most fly class on Delta flights, in America.

[@Davidcaz907]

Traveled Comfort+ on multiple occasions. Overall their service has been great I do enjoy the priority boarding that also comes with you AMEX Delta Card.

[@joshuav9005]

Sounds pretty decent, and that water was stunning! You’re not an aviation fan if you don’t like the window seat...

[@hearme1991]

I love the window seat

[@brendanschochet1784]

If I don’t have it I ask the flight attendant to move me

[@jr13227]

The only time I’ve seen water like that was flying into the Bahamas. It’s really stunning.

[@dano94]

Hi Jeb thanks for these videos! I am taking comfort plus on deltas 767-300 from Msp to lhr, I’d love to hear a review on a delta long haul in comfort plus

[@ronaldfish1569]

Thank you Love Delta❤️👍🏻

[@visionist7]

Very professional review, subscribed

[@scottrobinson6516]

Love your videos Jeb. Yes comfort plus is worth it. Love DELTA.....

[@SMNAviation]

Very nice and informative video! The color of the water is amazing! Go to Cancun or beaches in Mexico to see something similar

[@SMNAviation]

I have a stunning night approach to Mexico City on my channel If you like! BTW I subscribed and I'm looking forward to your next video

[@DallasThompson]

So close road to 25k!!!!!!

[@SandyTidwell]

My 6' husband is never comfortable in the main cabin seats, so we always book Delta Comfort from the start. We enjoy the priority boarding and being able to secure overhead bin space above our seats, and on evening flights, that complimentary glass of wine is really nice. All in all, we feel it's very worth the increased price, and on international/long flights it's a much smaller increase in price then going to Premium Select or gosh Delta One.

[@havebeardreadytotravel.5804]

Cool video, I’m doing a lot of traveling with Delta in the next 5 weeks. I imagine the seats for United Premium are the same for Delta. As a 6’2 beefy dude, I definitely need the extra leg room and width for the seat.

[@ksmashgamer5748]

Another quality video

[@jacobrosenthal7843]

Hey man love the vids keep it up! What do you do for a living?

[@bigeyejim]

Hey, we took the same flight to BDA back in Late July!! It was a great flight, but we just did economy. I am thinking about Economy Plus on a DTW - FRA flight and that might be worth it. Or a European carrier that might have a more "premium" economy product. Cheers, great video as usual!

[@darealphantom]

I generally fly Delta and always get a basic economy seat then upgrade to an exit row but now I know to go for the comfort plus

[@fastcsx1412]

Cool video and what is the smothers airline that lands

[@JAHughes1988]

My parents and I, have a house in Bermuda. We fly first or Delta Comfort. The row seat is the best.

[@mattyj6794]

I flew comfort+ from LAX to DFW and return just last week. The $50 extra it cost each way was totally worth it.

[@RohanVBB]

Great vid

[@lisafoster8845]

Another great video

[@DCYote1]

Prior to the pandemic, my employer used to fly us on Delta (4-6 flights a month) and they'd always be in Comfort +. I enjoy the priority boarding and drinks of course but that extra legroom makes it all worthwhile. Plus I believe you earn a few more frequent flyer miles than with basic economy as well. Definitely worth the extra cash in my opinion.

[@Mayur6]

I'm sitting at the gate in Greensboro, North Carolina, wondering what Comfort Plus is like; they just gave me a free upgrade from regular Economy. Thanks for clearing it up. Looking forward to infinity peanuts and pretzels.

[@javianbrown8627]

*Worth noting:* You can also be upgraded to comfort plus using your miles or paying on the flights you want it in. While this can be done on main cabin tickets it can't be done on Basic Economy Tickets

[@javianbrown8627]

Jeb Brooks no problem

[@stitch-xx2oo]

I appreciated this video. Do you plan on comparing Delta out of Greensboro to Spirit which is coming on the 5th or the 6th of September?

[@cfrepublic]

I’d like to see a review of Air Canada’s Business Class Cabin or Premium Economy. I really enjoy your reviews and would love to hear your opinion. Their 777 and 787’s are truely a great experience in my opinion. Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver are great hubs for almost all routings

[@ryanc6814]

YES, Comfort + is incredibly worth it. Delta, the best US airline, provides amazing service. You get attentive service, unlimited snacks, tons of great legroom and recline, sky priority boarding, and I believe that the seat is more comfortable than main cabin. Highly recommend if you are tall and/or have a long trip. EDIT: I said “Unlimited snacks” as of all the times I’ve flown Comfort+, FA’s have never take then tray away once you grab a snack.

[@Rowdt98]

Ryan C are alcoholic drinks unlimited

[@moviemogul83]

All World Reviews yes

[@ywluvstojam]

Yes it is! I love it! 😍

[@avioncamper]

Hi Jeb, the important things: legroom, meal service and ife. Those ocean views are to die for. We want a video of Bermuda. :)

[@stephenfowler2797]

We used it last summer to Walt Disney World. LAX-ATL-MCO and MCO-LAX on return. Was definitely worth it for that 4-5 hours leg! Having 2-3 cocktails and tasty snacks was great. I must point out that we booked main cabin and after paying, a window popped up and an offer for upgrade to COMFORT+ came up and I clicked it. I was then allowed to change my seats to the new cabin and charged an extra $120 total for all 3 legs of the trip. It would have cost us $125 per person extra doing it from the start!

[@ssphilproductions7968]

I absolutely loved the Comfort+. In my delta video you can see that i loved it

[@sarinfserg4965]

I don’t think is worth it on a short flight, I’m sure, though, on a long flight the extra legroom is very much appreciate

[@LuisVega-ze8xy]

From Az to Florida do you think it’s worth it

[@crystalbishop6971]

I agree with that! A 2 hour flight on coach or economy would work fine with me but to fly to California, Alaska, or Seattle Washington economy plus would be the best option.

[@Transylvestite]

@@LuisVega-ze8xy no it only takes like 3-4 hours which is nothing compared to 6-20hr flights

[@hanj31]

If you’re tall you need it no matter what

[@travelingnick4314]

Fax

[@clarktrent8952]

great video and content, as usual, Jeb (3 thumbs up) ...but it would've been nice to know how much extra the Comfort+ product cost you, vs. what a Standard Economy seat would've cost...

[@colinhuyck3834]

Great Video!

[@SnurX]

very good review.

[@privatejoker9828]

The most brutal flight for me is Atlanta to Johannesburg and siting in economy.its truly draining and cant sleap.flying out tomorrow on comfort plus

[@youngruff]

I’m 6’7. I fly delta comfort every chance I get because of the legroom. Those few extra inches make a big difference. And the free drinks are great too!

[@sanpedrosilver]

I did premium economy on Norwegian Airlines from Sweden to LAX. For $200 extra, it was well worth it. B787 👌🏼 Highly recommended

[@abpob6052]

For about $100 each way from San Francisco to Sydney, AU the C+ option is an absolute steal when you are in the air for 16-20 hrs each way.

[@aviationhub5622]

I just went there! On delta.

[@jacksonfitzsimons4943]

I flew Comfort+ to Europe; it was quite nice!

[@gregmarquez8720]

What part of Europe? I'm doing JFK-LIS Jan 2020 in comfort+

[@wotan10950]

I am 6’2”, so it’s almost become a necessity for me. I paid the extra fare on a Delta flight to TLV, and the extra four inches felt like an extra four FEET! Of course, JetBlue provides decent legroom without a surcharge.

[@animal16365]

Nice video. I always like your videos. I watch them so I can remember my trip to Germany and back. When I flew with Delta. I flew economy plus and upgraded on the longest portions of my flights. But I'm my thinking. Any flight that's around the 3 hr mark. It's not much of a upgrade unless your tall and need legroom. If Covid19 didn't ruin my travel plans back to Germany. I would have flown Delta One.

[@beefbrisket168]

I had it a couple of years ago on a Delta 717 and got as a gate upgrade (no membership). I knew about the free booze, but didn't take because it was too early in the morning. I did like the space, although I am a short person. I would like to try Delta's Premium Select or Delta One product though.

[@hiramgarciaestrada8322]

When i travel back and forth from the states to Puerto Rico i usally travel Comfort+ depending on ticket pricing and aircraft. Being 6ft 4in tall the extra leg room is always a BIG +. Have you traveled to Puerto Rico Jeb? Would love to see a video. Thank you.

[@jasonmoors1191]

I'm overdue to see my parents in Tucson AZ--last time I flew anywhere was in 2014,DL from IAH-SLC-TUS,going home it was an MD-90 TUS-ATL,--MD88 ATL-IAH--looking at the Delta website,looks like they fly the 737-900 between ATL-TUS,am tempted to try out Delta Comfort for the 3hr jaunt for the first time

[@pneulancer]

I agree with pretty much everyone else. I never travel economy anymore; just too damned cramped! now it's comfort plus or first. If I'm alone or with my GF I usually opt for first but if there's more than three of us it's just as good in comfort plus as we have the whole row to ourselves and you do get the option for food and cocktails, albeit at a price. Great video as always!

[@sonuchadalavada5193]

Delta's comfort+ feels a lot like jetBlue's regular old economy seats on their a320s + priority boarding.

[@heidijenkins2439]

I just flew the new American Airlines premium economy from Rome to Philadelphia. Very nice! Bigger seat width and in a 2-3-2 configuration. I am a bit of a plus size and didn’t feel like I encroached on the person next to me.

[@bryanb16th]

Hey Jeb. Bryan here. Hope you're well. I thought that you said your next trip was not until Oct.?That water was amazing. When I travel, my cabin choice is based on the length of the trip. My rule of thumb is anything less than 5 hours, I fly economy. Cross-county or over a body of water I'll book economy and upgrade to business class using my Delta Skymiles

[@mywindowseat]

Great video! What video editing software do you use?

[@caramelhoney29]

It was worth it to me. Very comfortable and plenty of leg space!
