Delta Finally Announces Its New Business Class Suites — But The Most Important Upgrade Is Actually In Coach
Delta Air Lines announced their new business class suite that will be equipped on board Airbus A350-1000 once those begin delivering next year, and that they’ll be adding suites with doors to their Airbus A330s as they refresh the interiors of those planes. Perhaps more importantly, they are making modest improvements to both premium economy and coach. The new A350-1000 business class suite, still on the Thompson seat platform (VantageNova vs. VantageXL for their older Suites), will offer a bed that’s 3 inches longer than their current one, to provide over 6.5 feet of sleeping length. The seat adds

“Flagship” Delta Airbus A350-1000s Join Fleet In 2027: What Should We Expect?
For quite some time there have been rumors that Delta Air Lines would order the Airbus A350-1000. This has finally become a reality! In this post: Delta has placed a firm order for 20 Airbus A350-1000 aircraft, with a further 20 options for Airbus wide body aircraft (with no specific aircraft type mentioned beyond that, so presumably it could be A350-1000s, A350-900s, or A330-900neos). The first of these A350-1000s is expected to join the Atlanta-based carrier’s fleet as of 2026. That’s pretty soon, so I’m curious if Airbus has been holding some slots for Delta. Delta states
