What are the different seats on Delta?

Delta operates a variety of cabin classes on its aircraft, including economy, Premium Select, first class and Delta One seats. Like most airlines, Delta will allow you to select your seat when booking, though the cost to do so and any upcharges will vary depending on the flight you're taking.

Delta offers six tiers of onboard service: Basic Economy, Main Cabin, Delta Comfort +, First Class, Delta Premium Select and Delta One. Delta seat selection is available to all passengers, with the exception of those flying its cheapest airfare, Basic Economy.

Delta allows free cancellations and changes on most main cabin tickets, but not on basic economy. Baggage rules are generally the same between the two fares (carry-ons are free with Delta Basic economy). Basic economy fares don't include seat assignments, which makes them less than ideal for groups and families.

So, is Delta Comfort Plus worth it? The answer is entirely up to you. If you value extra legroom, space for your luggage and complimentary booze, then yes, it's worth spending the extra money.

Both premium economy and Main Cabin Extra offer more legroom and complimentary alcoholic drinks. However, premium economy offers a larger seat, even more legroom, more perks — like noise-canceling headphones, a Casper sleep set and an amenity kit — plus better catering.

Delta main cabin is slightly more expensive than basic economy on most routes, but the upcharge provides a lot of value. For a modest price premium, you get the ability to choose your seat, change or cancel your flight, opt to use same-day standby when traveling domestically and earn miles toward Medallion status.

As a general rule, choose Basic Economy if you're on a tight budget with set plans that are unlikely to change. However, if your plans are flexible, you're traveling with family, or you want to earn points at the typical rate, you're likely better off choosing Main Cabin.

Traditionally, an airliner is divided into, from the fore to aft, first, business, and economy classes, sometimes referred to as cabins. In recent years, some airlines have added a premium economy class as an intermediate class between economy and business classes.

Passengers that fly First class can expect a superior experience with plenty of legroom, reclining seats, meal choices, full bar service or bartender, in-flight entertainment and Wi-Fi. It is a very comfortable and luxurious experience for each passenger who gets personal attention from flight staff.

Delta allows free changes on main cabin tickets of the same value but does not allow any changes on basic economy. So if you have to change your ticket for any reason, you'll end up eating the entire cost of a basic economy fare. For this reason alone, main cabin fares are better for anyone seeking flexibility.
