I had a very pleasant flight on Delta from Los Angeles to Atlanta on a refurbished A350-900, now a “Delta One” branded flight that included many of the amenities onboard you would expect on a longhaul business class flight.
What I didn’t know at the time was that Delta is now branding its flights between Los Angeles and Atlanta that operate on a widebody jet as Delta One, similar to the way American Airlines brands its widebody service only between Los Angeles and Miami as Flagship.
So when I checked in and saw I had a Delta One purple boarding pass instead of the standard red first class boarding pass, I was double-excited, not just to fly on the A350 (it has been some years), but to use the Delta One Lounge at LAX before departure.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
