Yes, 100% worth it. I did 15.5 hrs in main cabin there and 13 hrs back in premium select. And so much worth it.

I'm very impressed. Especially by the food, and the drinks thrown in. The cabin staff seemed very attentive based on what you say.

We have flown premium select multiple times, to and from Korea. It’s an excellent value considering the modest up charge from main cabin fares. He paid a lot for his flight. You can get premium select to and from Incheon for around $2000 if you book in advance. compare the hard product to domestic first class on Delta. As an added bonus, we have often been offered Delta One upgrades for about $1500 each, from Premium Select. Way less expensive than booking Delta One outright.

Today is reverse day!! Your reviewing a flight at the same time Jeb Brooks is reviewing a train ride!!

Absolutely Awesome!!

I took this flight January 2024. Premium select was definitely worth the price. It was very comfortable.

[bryannelson]

Nice comprehensive review ! I am sold ! My last long international flight was in regular economy. I was on the aisle, the guy next to me was a big guy and he fell asleep and kept leaning on my shoulder. The person in front of me reclined his seat all the way back. I was cramped, uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Even if it's a cost premium, I am never flying a long international flight in coach again, it was torture. I am so looking forward to being more comfortable in Premium Economy !

It's great to see Delta revert to the pre-pandemic presentation of the meal service and the rest looks excellent too. I flew Qantas premium on QF1 and 2 about a month ago and it was bloody excellent so I'll be comparing premium to them from now on and it seems Delta puts up a very good fight!

Minneapolis-St. Paul also offers the two things most desired by experienced air travelers: Long Runways an No Mountains.

[AutoclaveMachine]

I flew on the exact same plane as you from PVG - DTW in premium select in the same seat. The service was amazing and the cabin crew were very attentive. I would say it’s worth it because I got tickets for only 300 more than Economy

[RealCrimsonPeach_TSFTWDTFTL]

This was an awesome video! South Korea is definitely a place I would love to visit sometime in the future!

[minakim]

The bowl of kimchi that was served to the left of the Korean cold noodles in your video is like a sauce for that dish. I think they served it on the side for those who do not like kimchi or who like to control the amount of it.

[MeenPo]

I am flying to Amsterdam soon on PS. I can't find upgrades to D1. I am concerned the width won't be enough!

[dfwplanespotters_yt]

Literally flying from ATL-JNB on the A359 tomorrow. Thanks

[richardvickrey]

Love this video! You, sir, captured the essence of this flight & "the spirit of flying", if that even still exists. My gal pal just returned from a whirlwind, international, business oriented trip to Taiwan. BUT, she began her journey w/a flight to Seoul. We've not yet had the opportunity to get together for me to learn the details. But, residing in the Deep South, she probably took a flight from ATL to Seoul, most likely on Delta. Hence my considerable interest in this ep.💙

[lclux]

Yes, it’s worth it! My husband and I just got back a few days ago. We originally bought premium select round trip to Seoul. We got an upgrade to Delta One from Minneapolis to Seoul @ $699 pp. Going back we took Premium Select. Since we got to try both seatings we would go with Premium Select again unless Delta One upgrade is given at a deep discount. The difference btw these 2 classes is that Delta One provided extra appetizers/korean side dishes and a slight larger portion. It also provided more in flight snacks. Food was delicious in both flights. However, the services we got are pleasantly the same. The flight attendants were very courteous and polite. Drawback with Premium Select is that you have to adjust your seat in order to get out of your seat comfortably. Delta One is awesome but, I would not pay full price for it😊

[JuanWayTrips]

I will say, the PS service on your flight looks much better compared to when we flew PS from Detroit to Tokyo HND in October! We had the metal cultary and glassware for the first meal, but the meal was still the economy options and disposable plates (served to us first before they went into Comfort+), and the rest of the drinks were plastic. But it was a cheap upgrade the day of (less than $400) so I can't complain since the hard product alone was worth it for that price.

I fly PS to ICN from MSP next week! Thanks for the video!!

[davidhamilton]

Very professional trip report, thanks. I am a UA flyer and not DL, so interesting to see MSP and experience a DL flight

[LisaBurrell-ozck]

Definitely worth it. I flew Delta Premium Select 14 hrs from Sydney to LAX.

[lazerbeam]

I can't get over the price they charge for a 18.5 width seat. Service, yes, but seat comfort is not that great. I think they should at least makes these as wide as domestic first class.
