Delta introduces world's first all-suite business class with Delta One suite
Designed with an emphasis on exceptional customer comfort and privacy, the Delta One suite offers each customer a private space accessed by a sliding door with thoughtfully designed personal stowage areas, an advanced in-flight entertainment system and premium trim and finishes to create an unparalleled business class experience with a comfortable, residential feel.

The Delta One suite will debut on Delta's first Airbus A350, due to enter service in fall 2017. Each aircraft will feature 32 suites.

In addition to full flat-bed seats with direct aisle access, which the airline introduced eight years ago, the Delta One suite features:

  • A full-height door at every suite
  • Sliding privacy dividers between center suites
  • In-suite, customizable ambient lighting
  • Dedicated stowage compartments for shoes, headphones and laptops
  • Contemporary design featuring premium trim and finishes
  • Memory foam-enhanced comfort cushion
  • An 18-inch, high resolution in-flight entertainment monitor, the largest among U.S. carriers
  • A universal power outlet and high-powered USB port at every seat
"Delta constantly listens to customers and responds with products that deliver what they want. After setting the standard with the introduction of full flat-bed seats with direct aisle access in 2008, Delta is again elevating the international business class experience," said Tim Mapes, Delta's Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "Added comfort and privacy are important to business travelers, and that drove the design of the all-new Delta One suite."

Delta completed installation of full flat-bed seats with direct aisle access on all of its widebody aircraft operating long-haul international flights in 2014. Delta One service includes the features Delta customers have grown to expect, such as chef-curated meals, wine pairings by Delta's Master Sommelier Andrea Robinson, Westin Heavenly In-Flight Bedding, noise-canceling headsets, TUMI amenity kits featuring Kiehl's Since 1851 premium skincare, and in-flight loungewear on select flights.

Following the A350 debut, the Delta One suite will progressively roll out on Delta's Boeing 777 fleet. Delta will be the first U.S. airline to take delivery of the A350, which will primarily serve routes between the U.S. and Asia.

Delta has made significant investments in its on-board product and the customer experience with orders for hundreds of new aircraft and a cabin modernization program that includes new seats, seatback entertainment systems, high capacity overhead bins, new lavatories, ambient lighting, access to Wi-Fi on nearly all flights and other enhancements.

Delta Air Lines serves nearly 180 million customers each year. In 2016, Delta was named to Fortune's top 50 Most Admired Companies in addition to being named the most admired airline for the fifth time in six years.

I'm really surprised I haven't heard "Only TWO positive space passes to thank us for our meltdown last week? I've got nine kids by three wives and I only get TWO?!" on the SouthernJets ALPA board.
 
The fact these don't expire is kind of nice though. No last minute rush to use them like the system had with the merger passes.

At JCWHQ it was like "No, I don't want to use them for that, I want to use them for this"

"ok"

"Oh, change of plans, I want to use them for that isn't of this"

"ok"

"What do you want to use them for?"

"I want to go to Australia"

"Nah, lets use them for this other thing instead"

"Ok"

"Crap, they've expired now".

Strike while the iron is hot I say. Don't make a short story into Homer's Odyssey.

Never used mine. The booking restrictions were harder to figure out than the palace politics of the Ming Dynasty.

Thank God it is just two. The retirees may still have a chance to get on.
 
Wow. Looks so much nicer than Untied's Polaris offering. It would be great if they can match it to a good soft product.
