Delta to upgrade business seating from Heathrow

Tuesday, 14 Oct, 2008 0

Delta Air Lines is to offer 180-degree lie-flat beds in business class on all transatlantic flights from Heathrow.

The upgrade will take place next summer on departures to New York and Atlanta.

Services will be upgraded to feature Boeing 767-400ERs with 40 new full flat beds in the aircraft’s BusinessElite cabin. 

The seats recline to 77-inch-long beds in a one-two-one configuration giving every passenger aisle access. 

Delta is reconfiguring seven of its 767-400 aircraft with the full-flat beds. 

International economy class passengers on Delta’s 767-400s also will have on demand digital entertainment, as well as printed menus, free wine with their meal and mid-flight snack. Complimentary amenity kits include eye shades and ear plugs. 

Glen Hauenstein, the airline’s executive vice president – network planning and revenue management, said: â€œDelta continues to listen to our customers’ requests for enhanced service in the world’s major markets and we are pleased to add the consistency of 180-degree full flat beds to all Delta flights operating at the world’s No.1 business airport – Heathrow.”
