In recent months we’ve seen little improvements in ultra long-haul Delta Business Class international service. Amenities like pajamas and improved amenity kits are perks that build more comfort into the “Delta One” brand. Now, a much larger improvement coming to select flights could finally bring a US legacy carrier to one of the finer standards in global travel. They’re adding doors.

This enhanced Delta Airlines Business class product will be found mostly on the longest flights, typically over 12 hours.

Kudos to Boarding Area partners One Mile at a Time and View From the Wing who both beat me to posting on this Delta News. Both have some great takeaways so check out their articles too. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
