What are Economy Class seats like?

Assigned seats are free after check-in. If a seat number is not displayed on your boarding pass, then your seat will be assigned at the boarding gate, before boarding the aircraft. Your boarding pass will instead display, “Seat Assigned at Gate”.

From April 2019, the airline will be experimenting with reducing the recline on its A320 economy seats to 3.5 inches, rather than 5.5. The aim is to prevent flyers from leaning their seats into the neighbour. The A320's makeup 7% of Delta's fleet and are typically used for short and medium-haul flights.
