Delta Air Lines innovates – from March, it would offer five fare classes


Airlines usually have business and economy classes but, from March next, Delta Air Line will be offering five different fare classes. The sections will be based on prices and the services will feature three types of economy and two types of premium cabins.
Basic Economy
Meant for the budget-conscious passenger, these would be the cheapest but there will be restrictions. This would be offered on select Delta flights, and such passengers will not be able to choose seats in advance, make changes, fly stand-by, get refunds for unused tickets or receive upgrades. They would be the last to board the aircraft.
Passengers on Delta usually get complimentary non-alcoholic beverages and snacks, as well as access to WiFi and Delta Studio but that would be only when available.
Of course, such passengers can buy food off the Eats menu on flights longer than 900 miles.
Main Cabin
Such ticket holders will get the same complimentary beverage and snack and entertainment options as Basic Economy. He will get to choose his seat and there is some flexibility with changes or cancellations. When flying internationally, there will be a meal service, a choice of wine, beer, or spirits, and a sleeping kit.
Delta Comfort +
In this category, passengers will get priority boarding (after First Class and Delta One classes), dedicated overhead space, complimentary alcoholic beverages, premium snack options, and wider access to in-flight entertainment on flights over 900 miles.
For those flying between New York and Los Angeles and San Francisco, they will also receive a complimentary pillow and blanket along with a snack wrap and frozen yogurt.
The seats will also look different from Basic Economy and Main Cabin and will have a quilted look with a red stripe.
Delta One
This was previously known as the Business Elite class. This category will have seats that go flat with linens from the Westin hotel chain, rights to board first, chef-curated menus, noise-reduction headsets and more.
There are even pre-flight alcoholic drinks, snacks included on flights longer than 250 miles and meals on flights longer than 900 miles.
It will be available on international and long-haul domestic flights
First Class
The domestic flights of Delta will have First Class and will have many of the same amenities as Delta One. First Class travelers apart from access to a dedicated overhead compartment space, access to power outlets on many planes, as well as pre-flight and in-flight beer, wine, and spirits.
