Delta to offer full flat-beds to U.S. coast-to-coast BusinessElite customers

Nov 06, 2012 (Menafn - AIRLINE INDUSTRY INFORMATION via COMTEX) --Atlanta, USA-based carrier Delta Air Lines DAL said it will introduce full flat-bed seats in the BusinessElite cabin of all transcontinental flights operating between New York and Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle beginning in March 2013.

All of Delta's Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft serving these transcontinental markets will offer the flatbed seats over approximately the following 24 months.

Transcontinental flying will be operated using a combination of Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft types, Delta said.

The first 767 will begin flying in March of 2013, between New York - JFK and Los Angeles. This flight will be timed to provide seamless connections with Delta's Los Angeles - Sydney flight in both directions, and offer JFK - Sydneycustomers a flatbed product and onboard experience throughout their itinerary.

By June, four of Delta's seven daily flights between JFK and LAX, and one of five daily flights between New York and Seattle, will operate with a 767 widebody aircraft featuring the flat-bed product in the BusinessElite cabin.
