Delta's Premium Select is the airline's version of premium economy. It offers a range of amenities, including a fold-out leg and footrest, expedited check-in, security, and baggage services, as well as the option to pre-select a delectable meal, such as summer vegetable lasagna with parmesan cream sauce and cherry tomatoes. On board, travelers can also enjoy a memory foam pillow, noise-canceling headsets, and a premium amenity kit from Someone Somewhere.
Delta first introduced the Premium Select cabin in 2017 and has since made it available on most of the airline's Pacific and transatlantic flights, as well as on select routes to Latin America.
The decision to extend Premium Select to cross-country flights comes as Delta continues to upgrade its aircraft. The airline is outfitting its Boeing 737-800 aircraft with the newest First Class seat, refreshing some Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin seats with new 10-inch Panasonic seatback screens and touchless features in bathrooms. In addition, Delta is in the process of adding more lie-flat Delta One seats to its Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
