The reverse herringbone configuration changes how Delta One seats are arranged inside the cabin, angling them toward the aisle while keeping the outer seats at the windows. The Bulkhead Seat +3

Impact on Window Seats

The layout keeps the outer‑column seats (C and G) directly adjacent to the windows, so they remain the true window seats. Because each seat is angled, the window seats benefit from additional privacy provided by the angled backrests and, on newer suites, by adjustable privacy dividers. On aircraft such as the Airbus A330‑300 and A350‑1000, the middle seats sit between the two window seats and are angled inward, but the window seats stay on the outer edges of the cabin. Flight reviews note that the bulkhead window seats (e.g., 1C and 1G) are positioned at the front of the cabin near the galley, which can affect lighting but still retain their window‑side location.

Overall, the reverse herringbone design maintains the window seats at the outer columns while adding angled backs and privacy features that enhance the window experience.

We’re seeing quite some nice improvements to the long haul business class products of major US airlines. We recently saw American introduce its new Flagship Suite business class, soon United plans to introduce its new Polaris business class, and next up it’s Delta’s turn.
