Delta upgrade

FIRST CLASS is to be introduced by Delta Air Lines during the autumn on all domestic flights longer than 750 miles, or about 2 hrs 30 mins of flight time.  When the upgrade is complete, 50 routes that currently feature Delta Connection flights with only one class of service will be upgraded to two-cabin aircraft with First and Economy Class service.  Delta's domestic route upgrades are part of the airline's ongoing US$1bn investment in products and services across its network, including the retrofit of Delta Connection 70-seat Bombardier CRJ700 aircraft.  By October Delta's fleet will include 219 regional aircraft with two-class service flying on 272 domestic routes.  Delta Connection aircraft featuring First Class cabins include Embraer 170, Embraer 175, Bombardier CRJ700 and Bombardier CRJ900 models.  First Class service onboard flights operated with these aircraft is consistent with the amenities offered on Delta mainline flights.  Meals, china and linen service, pre-departure beverages, and complimentary cocktails, beer and wine are offered on all Delta Connection flights featuring a First Class cabin. www.delta.com
