The Pink Plane is one of several special-edition aircraft that Delta Air Lines has operated over the years. The Pink Plane is a popular sight at airports around the world. It’s often used to transport breast cancer survivors and their families, and it has also been used to raise awareness for breast cancer research at special events.
In addition to its fundraising efforts, the Pink Plane also helps to raise breast cancer awareness. The plane is often featured in Delta Air Lines’ marketing materials, and has also been featured in several television commercials. The Pink Plane is a symbol of Delta Air Lines’ commitment to breast cancer awareness and research. It’s a reminder that Delta Air Lines is doing its part to help fight this disease.
When I booked our flight from Orlando to Atlanta, with a connecting flight to San Antonio, I thought it was strange that we were traveling on a 767-400ER. It wasn’t until I got to the gate that I saw we’d be flying on the pink plane.
While most Delta flights to Atlanta are on single-aisle jets, we’d be traveling on a widebody jet with Delta One lie-flat first-class seats. In addition, the plane had Delta’s Premium Select, which is essentially the equivalent of international premium economy seats.
However, since this was a domestic flight, the Premium Select seats were included as part of the Delta Comfort+ cabin. How could I pass up a chance to try Delta’s Premium Select seats for a $29 upcharge, even if it was only a 1-hour flight?
We boarded the plane between the Delta One and the Premium Select cabins. We were in the 3rd row back from the door.
I don’t know if the other passengers booked this flight on purpose or if they received a pleasant surprise when getting on the plane. The IFE showed our plane and the 59-minute flight time to Atlanta.
It wasn’t long until we settled in for our 1-hour flight to Atlanta.
We took the 2 window seats at the rear of the cabin. Sharon even let me have the aisle, given the short duration of the flight and the additional legroom.
However, she wasn’t happy about the lack of a window in the front of her seat.
I can’t say that I cared, considering the amount of legroom I had at my seat.
The power plugs were easily accessible, with 110V and USB plugs for both seats.
I’m not sure if there was a problem with my seat, but there was blue painter tape over the controls and also to keep the remote control for the IFE in place.
I was a bit disappointed because I wanted to put the seat through its paces. However for $29, how much could I complain for this seat?
There was even a set of Delta Studio headsets at each seat but I used my Bose headphones instead to watch a TV show on the IFE.
Because of the short duration of the flight, we didn’t receive any in-flight service besides cookies and water. Not that I’d want a Woodford Reserve at 10 a.m.
Final Thoughts
I was glad that we got to try Delta’s Premium Select seats before purchasing them on a long-haul flight. In all, it was a decent upgrade from economy class. Instead of getting the same seat with some extra legroom, these are more comfortable seats that fit between Economy and Delta One.
I wouldn’t want to sit here on a flight from Tokyo to Atlanta but I’d pay extra for this seat on a flight to/from Hawaii.
