Delta’s Short-Haul Snack Cut: Is Comfort+ Still Worth the Splurge?

Jake Redman May 6, 2026

In 2026, is Delta Comfort+ worth it? Depends on where you’re headed. Starting May 19, 2026, Delta Comfort+ on short flights is getting a lot less interesting.

Flying Blue partners with basically everybody, and this route opens up SkyTeam premium award space from a market that didn’t really have it before. We track points and […]
