Delta Debuts Premium Select on New York-Los Angeles Flight

NEW YORK- Starting this fall, Delta Air Lines (DL) customers traveling between New York (JFK) and Los Angeles (LAX) can enjoy enhanced dining and extra space with Delta Premium Select, as the airline introduces this popular product on domestic U.S. transcontinental flights for the first time.

Atlanta-based carrier’s Delta Premium Select will debut on September 10 on four of Delta’s 11 peak-day flights between LAX and JFK, featuring Boeing 767 widebody aircraft newly equipped with four cabin experiences: Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin. Delta plans to expand to additional daily JFK-LAX flights later this year.

Delta New York-Los Angeles Flights

Mauricio Parise, Vice President of Brand Experience Design stated that

“This product has been successful internationally, especially following our recent onboard investments, and we know customers flying between New York and Los Angeles will appreciate the more spacious seats and premium experience.”

Delta Premium Select, introduced in 2017, is now available on most of Delta’s trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic flights, as well as select routes to Latin America.

The product has recently been updated to include more locally inspired dining options, premium hand-crafted amenities, enhanced service, and the ability to pre-select onboard meals.

Expanding Delta Premium Select to U.S. transcontinental flights is the latest in Delta’s decade-long investment in New York and Los Angeles, both in the air and on the ground.

Additionally, as Delta continues its commitment to providing fast, free Wi-Fi presented by T-Mobile across its global fleet, customers traveling between these two hubs will have access to reliable, streaming-quality connectivity on all flights by the end of September.

What is Delta Premium Select?

Delta Premium Select provides travelers with more space to relax, featuring wider seats, additional recline, and adjustable footrests and leg rests. Other premium amenities, such as a memory foam pillow, noise-canceling headsets, and a plush blanket made from recycled materials, are designed to enhance comfort and relaxation.

Customers can also enjoy a premium amenity kit from Someone Somewhere, which includes thoughtful travel essentials.

Before boarding, DPS customers can pre-select their first service entrée. This fall, DPS passengers traveling from JFK to LAX can choose from curated menu options by Union Square Events, including braised turkey meatballs with arrabbiata sauce, mashed potatoes, and sautéed kale, or summer vegetable lasagna with parmesan cream sauce and cherry tomatoes.

Breakfast options include French onion frittata with Gruyere breadcrumbs, Canadian bacon, and roasted cherry tomatoes, or croissant monkey bread with peach raspberry compote.

For LAX to JFK flights, DPS customers can pre-select options from Jon & Vinny’s, such as mustard-marinated chicken thigh with mashed potatoes, kale, and roasted tomatoes, or baked rigatoni with broccoli and béchamel sauce topped with parmesan.

Eastbound breakfast choices include cheddar scrambled eggs with chicken date sausage, potatoes, red peppers, and onions, or Greek yogurt with tropical granola.

At the airport, Delta Premium Select passengers are eligible for Sky Priority® service, offering dedicated check-in and baggage handling. When it’s time to board, DPS customers enjoy priority boarding in Zone 2.

In flight, passengers will receive hot towel service followed by an elevated dining experience, with main courses served on plates with linen tableware and napkins, silver flatware, and glassware. A premium snack basket is available throughout the flight, and chocolates are served before arrival for a pleasant farewell.
