Delta Airlines, already proud of its cheap airplane tickets and cheap vacation packages, has decided that it wants to improve the comfort of its passengers flying on narrowbody planes. To that end, it has announced plans to spend $770 million remodeling the cabins on 225 narrowbody planes over the next three years.

This renovation will increase capacity for overhead bins, add new slim-line seats with adjustable headrests, update LED cabin lights, and modernize lavatories. All passengers will be provided with electrical power next to every seat, as well as satellite TV.

The new interiors are going on Delta’s Boeing 757-200s, 737-800s, and planes in the Airbus A320 family.

The remodeled 757-200 planes will have 18 or 20 seats in first class, 28 or 29 in premium economy, and 150 or 151 in economy.

The Boeing 737s will hold 16 seats in first class, 18 in premium economy, and 126 in economy.

The newly configured A319 and A320 planes will include 12 and 16 seats in first class, respectively. All economy seats of both types of planes (102 on the A319 and 126 on the A320) will have 31 inches of ...
... pitch and wider seats, with an increase to 18 inches from the current 17.2 inches. Both types of aircraft will offer 18 premium economy seats with 34 inches of pitch.
