"My husband and I are frequent travelers, but we still struggle to feel comfortable on long flights - I'm a nervous flyer, and my husband is tall. So, when planning our first European adventure together last year, we decided to splurge on our 10½-hour flight from Los Angeles to London. At first, we spent about $4,300 on two Delta Premium Select tickets."
"Then, my husband realized that the premium seats weren't much wider than those in economy - 18½ inches vs. 18 inches. So, we upgraded to Delta One, the airline's international business class, paying about $7,000 total for our two round-trip flights. Though we could've spent that extra money on meals or other experiences at our destination, our upgraded flight was worth every penny for the comfort it gave us during our journey."
"Our Delta One tickets got us access to the expansive Delta Sky Club at LAX. Along with two large buffet areas and a bar, the space had many comfortable seating zones and private bathrooms with showers. It was fun having so many complimentary food options - including vegan ones - but we tried not to overdo it as we had already pre-selected meals for our flight."
A nervous flyer and her tall husband upgraded their Los Angeles–London tickets from Delta Premium Select to Delta One after noticing only a small seat-width difference. They paid about $7,000 total for two round-trip Delta One tickets versus $4,300 for Premium Select. The Delta One experience included access to the expansive Delta Sky Club at LAX with multiple buffet areas, a bar, comfortable seating, and private showers. Boarding among the first passengers, they enjoyed pre-selected meals, complimentary food options including vegan choices, and enhanced in-flight comfort that allowed the nervous flyer to relax and fall asleep.
