The perfect transatlantic business class? Delta One to Paris
Рет қаралды 30,633
Күн бұрынHas Delta cracked the code for taking the stress out of commercial air travel? I’m flying the Delta One closing-door suite from LAX to Paris in order to find out. Join me as I travel on the beautiful Delta A330-900NEO for 10 hours transatlantic. Right from the start things get fun with the dedicated Delta One check-in at LAX, which is an oasis of calm and lets you skip most of the terminal experience and go straight to the Sky Club through a private check-in security and elevator. Then it’s a couple of hours in the Skyclub which has its ups and downs but on balance is a very nice place to hang out. Then there’s plenty of action from the flight to enjoy from a gorgeous sunset takeoff out of LAX to a detailed look at the service, amenity kit, dinner, bedding and more. Oh and you get to see me in a matching Burgundy Vuori athleisure outfit. Watch to find out whether Delta really pulls it off - it can’t be perfect can it?
Flight information:
DL290 LAX-CDG
A330-900NEO N408DX
age: 3 years
Flight time: 10h10m
How I booked it:
I bought a paid ticket outbound in KLM “Premium Comfort” Premium Economy and returning in Delta One business class via CDG for $1,800. Routing: ARN-AMS-SFO / LAX-CDG-ARN.

Unfortunately nowadays the videos have to be tended to the younger audience, who’s attention spans have been reduced to near zero thanks to TikTok and other brain drain “social” media platforms. If more than a couple seconds of pause exist, then these losers quickly lose interest and click elsewhere.

Never understood the shoulder belts on business seats
@airedition 5 ай бұрын
It has to do with reducing the probability of head injury, as I understand it, during sudden deceleration when in a seat that has more room, hence more space to move around and thus potentially greater impacts.

One word 'no' The seat is fine and it's nice to have the sleeping pad. Their service has gone downhill - they don't stop by as often as they used to and plates and drink glasses get left on the trays for hours. (in business class) Food is just OK, and wine selections are pretty poor. Weren't you the one that walked off with a bunch of backer money?
@airedition 7 ай бұрын
Didn't walk off anywhere, just haven't been able to complete the film (yet). As for Delta, that's interesting to hear. I guess if service has declined that might vary quite a bit from flight to flight. How often are you having that poor experience?
@KailashNathan 7 ай бұрын
@airedition I've had the experience of them not coming back to take plates and glassware twice now, but it was the same ROUTE (LAX-SYD and SYD-LAX, 3 weeks apart. It might be common on that route, or there has been some policy change or just some added laziness after COVID. A friend of mine has also reported similar experience with plates and glasses left behind for hours on ATL-LIM.

I just flew D1 SEA-AMS and back this past week. Had 6J and 8A. 6J was fine on the outbound, and I ended up sleeping about 4-5 hrs. On the return in 8A, the flight attendants were a little noisy in the mid-galley, but since this was a mid-afternoon departure, I didn't sleep as much, as my body clock was up-ended. In either case, it was no fault of the seat. Since Delta doesn't supply PJ's (they used to pre-Covid), I bring my Virgin Australia PJ's along. It makes a difference in overall sleep comfort (vs sleeping in "street" clothes). It would be nice to have a mattress topper (Virgin Atlantic & Australia do/did provide that and sometimes a turn-down service), however, it could be alot worse.

Nice video but I could DEFINITELY do without the intermittent BOOMITY-BOOM sleazy "music track." Perhaps you are USED TO being "pumped up" all the time. But we find this a very sad American "addiction." CALM IS WAY BETTER.
@airedition 2 ай бұрын
It's very amusing that you say "calm is way better" in ALL CAPS! Which is so NOT CALM! It's also amusing that you claim this is an American thing. Based on what? Specifically addressing the music, there is usually roughly ~4% of people that complain about it and you are in this group. People have different tastes. Most like the music, including me. So I will not change it. Also, PLEASE STOP SHOUTING on the internet.

@@aireditionwhat’s the track?.. I’d like to listen to it to be “pumped up” on my next Delta One flight. As a fellow American, I am addicted to the “boomity-boom” music, especially on my transatlantic flights.
