Delta Air Lines has quietly expanded Delta One service to one of its most important domestic routes: Los Angeles – Atlanta. I somehow missed this development when it was first reported months ago, then discovered it by accident when noticing my digital boarding pass was purple instead of red.
As One Mile at a Time noted last December, Delta had planned to shift the forward cabin on widebody LAX – ATL flights from domestic first class to Delta One as of March 29. That has now happened, and Delta One is now offered on the daily widebody services between Los Angeles and Atlanta, flown by a mix of Airbus A350 and Boeing 767 aircraft.
The most obvious difference is the seat, since these widebody flights feature lie-flat business class seats rather than standard domestic recliners. Importantly, it also means Delta passengers departing or arriving in Los Angeles receive access to the Delta One Lounge (Atlanta does not have a Delta One Lounge yet). Delta One check-in facilities can also be used in both LAX and ATL. Onboard, Delta One passengers will receive upgraded soft product including, better bedding, amenity kits, and meal service aligned with Delta’s premium transcontinental product versus standard domestic first class.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
