Delta Airlines has raised the bar when it comes to hospitality after they improved their latest International Main Cabin service. Designed to suit economy class travelers, the new service that launched on Tuesday globally features the most amazing welcome cocktails, hot towel service, bistro –style dining setting and others.
“How we make every customer feel across their travel journey is extremely important to us,” said Allison Ausband, Delta’s Senior Vice President — In-Flight Service. “That’s why our team designed this new service through the eyes of our customers – putting their ideas into action and giving them a delightful experience that exceeds their expectations. We want every customer, no matter where they sit on the flight, to know how much they’re appreciated.”
There’s more to the new service than catches the eye
Since the beginning, Delta Airline has had a design team comprised of more than 20 flight attendants who’ve been leading the charge, rigorously testing and refining the service along the way to get it just right. The airline tested this service on more than 1,200 flights – making it the longest-tested service in Delta’s history.
The flagship service includes a multitude of thoughtful enhancements that are sure to delight customers throughout their long-haul flights, including:
A welcome cocktail to help settle in: Shortly after reaching cruising altitude, Main Cabin customers will be presented with a welcome cocktail to kick off the experience. For its first welcome cocktail, the airline landed on an Italian classic: the Bellini, a combination of sparkling wine and peach nectar. It’s globally known, fit for a celebration, and offers a subtle nod to Delta’s Georgia roots.
Bistro-style dining and elevated service ware: During meal service, customers can select their choice of upgraded appetizers and larger entrees – mixing and matching much like they would while dining out. Standard meal trays will be replaced with more elegant, custom-designed serviceware made with 30 percent bio-based materials, featuring upgraded cutlery that ditches the plastic wrapper in favour of a new, sleek placemat for use on the tray table.
On-demand snacks, available for the long haul: In addition to the welcome cocktail and refreshed dining options, Delta Airline is debuting a new anytime snack basket that will be available for guests after meal service. The basket will include a rotating variety of sweet and savory snacks, such as Cheez-It crackers, Tillamook cheese, OREOs, KIND Bars and the airline’s beloved signature Biscoff cookies.
“This is about rethinking the entire Main Cabin experience to wow our customers,” said Ron Walk, a Portland-based flight attendant and design team member who’s been involved in the service since the very beginning. “The thoughtful touches we’ve incorporated throughout are aimed at making connections with customers to show them how much they’re valued.”
Delta’s reinvented Main Cabin experience has already received rave reviews from customers – with increased customer satisfaction scores on the routes it’s been tested on over the past year.
Delta’s new international Main Cabin service is part of the airline’s multi-billion dollar investment in the overall customer experience.
