Delta Airline President Glen Hauenstein said during the carrier’s Investor Day celebrated on 20^th november 2024 that the company is experimenting and going to see what customers like and do not like and Delta Airlines will bring that to life.

The comfort Plus bundles are the startup of a broader of the airline initiative aimed to merchandise its premium products, potentially selling fare bundles within its domestic first – class cabin and also within its international business and premium economy cabins.

The President of Delta Airlines explained that the company sees the most potential for the segmentation on first class and premium economy but Delta Airline will undertake this initiative in what he called a bottom – up fashion, starting with Comfort Plus which represents Delta’s extra – legroom offering in economy.

Currently Comfort Plus customers receive earlier boarding than standard economy flyers and dedicated overhead bin space and on longer flights they also receive upgraded snack options.

Delta Air Lines President commented that the airline plans to experiment with three Comfort Plus bundles, which is his opinion are good, better, and best offering.

The Head of Delta said that airlines in a punitive fashion, charging extra for close – in bookings and flights that are heavily in demand, instead clients should be able to trust that if they pay more, they will get more.

That is really the way good retailers have qorked and the way airlines have not, and it is the way that the company is going to transform itself over the next three to five years.

Delta Air Lines currently offers only a standard product in its business, first and premium economy cabins and those fares include items such as food and beverage, checked bags, seat assignments, lounge access and priority check - in.

In the main cabin Delta Air Lines and other carriers of the United States of America have had success with unbudling.

A passenger in a Delta main cabin purchases a ticket which includes an advanced seat assignment and a carry - on bag but flyers pay more for items such as alcohol, checked bags, meals and for selecting well – positioned seat.
