Delta Just Unveiled an Upgraded Delta One Suite With Longer Beds and Bigger TVs
• Robb ReportAs airlines across the world are reimagining their first-class seats, Delta has decided to join the fray.
The company just unveiled its next-gen Delta One suites, which are expected to hit the skies in early 2027 aboard its new Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. Delta used a decade's worth of feedback from fliers to bring the upgrade, which took two years to develop, to life.
And from that data, the airliner learned that 97 percent of fliers said the lie-flat bed was their reason for flying in Delta One. So Delta decided to up the ante with its new design, extending the lie-flat bed by more than three inches for even more comfort—for a total of six-and-a-half feet of space when fully extended. The new seats will also have a new pillow-top cushion and plenty of spots to store your in-flight goods, from a shoe cubby to an eyeglass holder. (And you can expect Delta's same mattress pad and bedding from Missoni.) The next-gen suites are configured in a reverse-herringbone set-up, so the outer rows can face the windows, and also offer up a tactile seat control center that takes design cues from the automotive world for easier adjustments onboard.
