Keen travellers love the idea of a new passport, a new adventure and a new city; the telltale rush of arriving at the airport with its urgent buzz of activity, and the steady murmur of languages from all over the world.
But too often than not, this excitement is interrupted by a loud boarding call — the idea of cramped spaces, restless legs, and having to keep entertained with your fellow passengers. Whether or not you love or loathe flying can make or break a trip.
Lucky for us travellers, Delta Air Lines realises the journey is just as important as the destination. They’ve invested in three key areas to improve the in-flight experience for all, to ensure our love of travel also reaches the sky. Here’s how:
Delta’s Comfort+ means more legroom, tastier snacks and drinks (like hot meals and ice cream), and a selection of feel-good films, TV and music.
Fed and watered, we suspect your attention will turn to sleeping — thankfully, Delta’s complimentary amenity kit* for long-haul international flights include eyeshades, earplugs, a toothbrush and toothpaste. Arrive feeling rested and recharged so you can hit the ground running.
Consider Delta’s Premium Select your ticket to bliss. From door-to-door, you’ll breeze through check-in, security and baggage handling, and boarding with your SkyPriority status.
Once onboard, stretch out with an adjustable, elevated foot and leg rest, wider seats and deeper recline — or snuggle up with Westin Heavenly in-flight blankets and a TUMI kit with premium Malin+Goetz products*. Enjoy plated meals and custom service, with a dedicated flight attendant ensuring your comfort throughout the journey.
Privacy? Yes, please. On top of SkyPriority boarding and two free standard checked bags, Delta One suites offers travellers their own little happy place to guarantee you’ll never come down from cloud nine.
It’s the world’s first Business Class cabin to feature a sliding door at each seat — passengers can truly “settle in” for the long-haul, with special compartments for their personal belongings and 180-degree flat-bed seats, with Westin Heavenly® In-Flight Bedding*. Privacy dividers between centre suites and customisable ambient lighting help enhance focus and relaxation (and beat the jet lag later!).
And what would blissful travel be without decadent meals and delicious wines? Sample chef-curated meals with sommelier-approved wine pairings, as well as TUMI amenity kits* with premium hydrating skincare products, noise-cancelling headphones, and in-flight loungewear (on select flights).
Whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, it’ll feel like a mini-holiday in the sky. We definitely won’t blame you if you enjoy the journey just as much as your final destination.
