DELTA airlines help
Hi Folks,
I am looking to book our flights for the 19th October 2018 - 2nd November 2018 and DELTA airlines look to have some good prices. My question is whats the difference between Delta comfort plus and Premium Economy? And is it worth the extra price? Is there a route to avoid to fly into MCO? There are a few options via JFK. I have found return flights in Comfort plus for £2800 which seems a good price i thought. Normal seat are £1800. Any advice/help much appreciated. |

Flown twice in Plus to New York with Delta. Economy Comfort Plus is simply extra-legroom in the front of the Economy cabin, with free entertainment on your screen. IMO its more comfortable than the VA extra legroom. but as for comparing to VA Premium, thats a whole new ball-game. Wider seats and far more legroom.

No probs,mate. I get confused when a flight is described as Delta and in small writing it says " Operated by Virgin Atlantic" and vice-versa, so seatmaps dont show up !

if it's Delta metal, then comfort+ is basically useless on short haul flights. Extra legroom is a good thing on long haul.
if it's operated by VA then it will be VA's PE congested airport. There are 3 major airports in the area and it's often affected by delays, even though transatlantics will have some kind of priority for landing because of fuel considerations, it's still an airport where delays are very likely, and you don't want that when you need to short connect it's also a huge and unfriendly airport (personnal opinion) I'd rather connect in ATL or even RDU if you get this option some on here will tell you that ATL is a pain, well it can be, and it's true connection times are longer there than it is at other airports like PHL (used by AA) but ATL is still better than JFK when you fly Delta. I would also consider MIA as an option for connection. MIA is a zoo, but I'd choose it over JFK in a New York minute (sorry for the pun) |

Sorry chmurf, but when it comes to your connection in New York, If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere

I prefer depending on cost to fly to via Atlanta the main reason being if you have any delays and miss your connection there is a flight from Atlanta to Orlando every hour.
I have also flown via Detroit,Cincinatti Boston and new York and would easily fly via any of them again |
