Delta 777 Premium Select

  1. Each seat measures 19 inches (48cm) wide and with a 38-inch (96.5cm) pitch, which makes for ample legroom, without your knees coming close to the seat in front. It is nothing close to lie flat, but comfortable enough. My husband and I are taking a retrofitted DL 777-200LR ATL-HND (Haneda Tokyo) and we selected the last row of Premium economy so we will have a bulkhead behind us and can recline.
  2. Delta Premium Select is a superior economy cabin available on select international routes. Customers will find more space to stretch out and relax with a wider seat and additional recline, and an adjustable.

The upgraded Boeing 777 brings more luxury, comfort and choice to the Australian skies and gives customers the ability to create the travel experience they want. The aircraft features:

The last row does recline the same as the others, and all seats in premium select on Delta 777-200 have leg and footrests.

Has anyone flown on the 777 in PRemium Select and how did the flight go?

Investing in the customer experience in Australia and beyond

The Boeing 777 upgrade is the latest enhancement on the Sydney-Los Angeles route as part of Delta’s multi-billion dollar investment in the overall customer experience. In 2018, Delta launched meals curated by celebrated Los Angeles chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo in the Delta One cabin after customer satisfaction scores skyrocketed in response to their menus on the LAX-JFK route. Highlights from the upcoming menu launching June 1 for the U.S. summer season include marinara braised meatballs with Bianco DiNapoli tomato, garlic bread, and Gioia ricotta; pan seared chicken thigh with arrabiata sauce and Thao’s Farm broccolini; marinated shrimp with Anson Mills polenta; and three cheese lasagna with pomodoro.

In the past several years, the airline has made significant enhancements to the customer experience across its network, including:

Premium
  • Free mobile messaging, free in-flight entertainment, and access to Wi-Fi on nearly all flights
  • Free Main Cabin meals on select coast-to-coast routes in the U.S.
  • Upgraded Main Cabin snacks and refreshed Flight Fuel food-for-purchase options on certain U.S. routes
  • The addition of sparkling wine in Main Cabin
  • Enhanced blankets in Main Cabin
  • Refreshed TUMI amenity kits with Kiehl's products and an Alessi-designed collection of serviceware in Delta One

Delta’s service in Australia and joint venture partnership with Virgin Australia

Delta Premium Select Review

Delta launched its flight between Sydney and Los Angeles in 2009 and will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its service this year. Delta and Virgin Australia began partnering in 2011. Together, Delta and Virgin Australia have served more than 5 million customers on the route with a shared vision of excellence in customer service and the customer experience. Delta’s upgraded 777 aircraft means that the Delta and Virgin Australia joint venture offers a more consistent customer experience, with fully flat-bed seats with direct aisle access available on all flights across the Pacific as well as a premium economy option, an economy comfort product with more legroom, and nine-abreast seating in main cabin.

Delta and Virgin Australia offer 25 weekly flights between Australia and the US and the ability to connect from more than 45 destinations across Australia and New Zealand to more than 250 destinations in the Americas. Delta operates a daily non-stop flight between Sydney and LAX and offers customers service from Melbourne and Brisbane to LAX through its Virgin Australia partnership.

At its hub in Los Angeles, Delta has been the fastest-growing carrier since 2009 and operates 170 peak-day flights to 70 destinations. The airline is investing $1.86 billion to build the Delta Sky Way at LAX, which will modernize and upgrade Terminals 2 and 3 at LAX and connect them to the Tom Bradley International Terminal (B). When completed, the modernized facility will offer a convenient bridge connecting Terminals 2, 3, and B on the secure side of the airport, as well as a dedicated baggage recheck and security checkpoint for seamless connection of international to domestic transfers, enabling significantly faster connections to Delta and partner flights. The facility will also offer more security screening capacity with automated security lanes, more gate-area seating, more access to power in gate areas, a world-class concession program in partnership with Westfield Corporation, a Delta ONE at LAX check-in space, new Delta Sky Club; and an integrated in-line baggage system, among other features.
