We got our first sight of Delta’s Business Class “Delta One Suites” when the airline started introducing its new A350 aircraft into its fleet towards the end of 2017 and, ever since then, Delta has been able to lay claim to having one of the best Business Class seats around.

While Delta’s A350s have slowly been coming on-line the airline has also been refitting its 777 aircraft with the new Delta One Suite and we’re now finally starting to see the suite offered on enough routes that a sighting is no longer a rarity….but on what routes does Delta actually offer Delta One Suites?

  1. Good information. Not to disparage your work, but I’d say that award space being available at a reasonable price is pretty important as well. Given Delta’s penchant for pricing awards from pricey to oh-my-god expensive, finding saver space (or whatever Delta calls it these days) is critical.
