Is Delta Comfort Plus considered business class?

Like Delta Premium Select, Comfort Plus falls between economy class and business classes. Although it shares some benefits with economy class, it also offers distinct upgrades at an affordable price.



No, Delta Comfort+ is not considered business class; it is officially categorized as an "Extra Legroom" Economy product. In the 2026 high-fidelity cabin hierarchy, Comfort+ sits between Main Cabin (Standard Economy) and Premium Select (Premium Economy). The "High-Fidelity" difference between Comfort+ and Main Cabin is primarily focused on extra legroom (up to 3 extra inches), dedicated overhead bin space, and "High-Fidelity" early boarding. While you receive complimentary alcoholic beverages and "premium" snacks, you are still seated in a standard economy-style seat that does not have the "High-Fidelity" width or recline of a Business or First-class seat. In 2026, Delta has further "unbundled" its cabins, meaning you can now buy a "Basic" Comfort+ fare with fewer perks. If you are looking for a true "High-Fidelity" business class experience with lie-flat seats and gourmet dining, you must book Delta One on international/transcontinental routes or Domestic First Class for shorter hops.
