For today's video, here is a full flight experience on board
Delta Airlines'
Boeing 717 from
Newark to
Atlanta!
This flight was Delta Airlines
Flight 2453 DAL2453/DL2453 with service to Hartsfield
Jackson International Airport (
KATL/
ATL) from
Newark Liberty International Airport (
KEWR/
EWR).
The aircraft I flew was N915AT, a Boeing 717-231, which had it's first flight in
March 2001, making the aircraft 13.6 years old!
During the video, I was sitting in
Seat 23E.
FLIGHT EXPERIENCE :
Information about Delta Airlines : Delta Airlines is one of the "big 3" carriers of the
United States, and serves many destinations in the world internationally with a large variety of aircraft.
Delta's fares are usually low cost and they offer good in-flight entertainment most of the time. The legroom is also good on most of their airplanes.
Seats : Delta has the usual
First Class and
Economy Class. They offer a section called
Economy Comfort which is located in the coach cabin, which has better legroom and more boarding time.
Find out more about Economy Comfort on Delta's website :

The seat configuration of Delta's
Boeing 717-200's is 2 x 3.
Delta's 717 seats are comfortable, soft and have nice legroom. The recline is also pretty good for a plane like this. Find the seat information here at Delta's site : http://bit.ly/1G48wTw
Delta offers
USB and power ports onboard the plane throughout the ENTIRE cabin for
FREE!
Food/Beverage : Delta uses the standard carts to haul food and drinks around the aisles of the airplane. They offer complimentary
Coca Cola beverages and 3 choices of free snacks, which include mini pretzels, cinnamon cookies and peanuts. Delta pours the drink into the a plastic cup. See the dining options here : http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/traveling-with-us/in-flight-services/flying-economy-with-delta
.html#dining
Flight Attendants : The flight attendants on board this flight were excellent, very accommodating and always had a smile on their faces - I can tell that they enjoyed their jobs and loved to help others! Out of my several Delta flights, all of the flight attendants were great.
Turbulence : There was none during this flight, a very smooth ride.
Delays : We were on schedule and arrived early on this flight!
Good job to Delta for no delays :)
In-Flight
Entertainment : On this flight, there were no
Personal TV's or any
AVOD entertainment - the 717 fleet is not equipped with these because they are used for short haul routes. The entertainment included the magazines
...and looking out the window ;) Just kidding...there is also On-Demand audio streaming in all classes of the 717. There is also gogo in-flight WiFi available for purchase at a low price.
Baggage Costs : I did not choose to check in any bags, I put my luggage in the overhead compartments.
If I did check a bag, it would have to weigh under 50 lbs and not exceed over 62 inches in total dimensions (length + width + height). And of course, you are allowed one personal item and one carry-on item for free!
Anyways, please check out this link for more info on Delta's baggage policies : http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/traveling-with-us/baggage.html
Overall, Delta Airlines is the best out of the three major US carriers in my opinion. Usually, you can't go wrong with them unless there is a major problem. With the low prices and all the amenities you receive for free, Delta is always worth it!
