Delta Comfort Plus is a seat upgrade from the main cabin that offers up to 3 inches of additional legroom and dedicated overhead luggage space. Conversely, Delta Premium Select seats let passengers stretch out with a reclining feature, wider seat, footrest and premium amenities.
Reclining seatsThe Delta Comfort+ seat reclines 35 inches, which is about 50% more than the economy fare seats. This is especially nice for those who are looking to take a nap or get a full night of sleep on an overnight flight and don't want to spring for the full class fare.
With a first-class fare, you'll receive a premium level of service on board, which means you can expect to pay a higher price than Delta Comfort Plus. Although Delta Comfort Plus provides additional convenience, it's still considered part of the main cabin.
