Delta has outlined plans to enhance its European network next year, with premium economy being offered on all flights and a raft of routes resuming including flights from New York JFK to Edinburgh, Brussels, Copenhagen and Zurich.
The carrier said that by next summer all European services would offer its long-haul premium economy cabin, known as Premium Select Plus, which features a seat width of up to 19 inches, and a pitch of up to 38 inches..
The seat was launched in 2016, and was introduced onto flights to Heathrow from late 2019.

Commenting on the news Joe Esposito, Delta’s SVP – network planning, said:
“We’re focused on bringing back the routes and destinations our customers love, so they enjoy easy, convenient access to a comprehensive, far-reaching network throughout Europe and its neighbouring regions.
“With the lifting of restrictions to the US and abroad, plus growing vaccination rates and tremendous pent-up demand, travel to Europe is expected to surge next summer – and Delta customers are assured to enjoy every moment from curb to claim.”
