Delta Premium Select to Tokyo—is it worth it? | TRIP REPORT

Delta Delta Delta!! I love them, but also have to keep it real. Premium Select runs at almost a $1000 USD premium over a standard economy ticket on this route, and I'm not sure it's worth it. Come along as I fly from my home airport of Seattle to Tokyo-Haneda, and let's see what Premium Select is all about!

P.S. Sorry for the trash GoPro takeoff and landing video quality!! I didn't have it set to 5k, but i fixed it now!! 😭

Thank you for watching!!

Anything over seven or eight hours is probably worth an upgrade just for the extra legroom. I try and travel Premium Economy when flying transatlantic to London from Miami.

Although I will fly premium select again, I would also say, NO it is not worth the money in the literal sense. Ticket prices are 2 or 3 times as much as regular economy and it is not 3 times better. However, I do like the extra space and the seats. They make traveling a bit more relaxed and I am willing to pay (too much) for that ;) great review, thanks

[lenarosati]

Very thorough review, as always! Great hack with the headphones 🎧 can’t wait for Air Canada! 🇨🇦

Delta’s International product and PRICING is RIDICULOUS!

[jasoncassady]

Bulkhead in PS (or any premium economy really) is the way to go ~ especially after seeing how hard some of those seats recline into you. Having that much extra space is good.

[asha]

What i would like to know, how comfortable are the seats to sleep? Does it make any difference compared to economy vs comfort plus?

[abiezermoyet]

Thank you for this video. I almost purchased ATL-HND in premium even though I had the same concerns. I think I’ll fly to LAX where there is much more product to choose from.

[JayKud]

great vid as always! always a relaxing watch, thanks for being so thorough

[iggy-gio]

i see you were not given chopsticks on your flight. has anyone ever been given chopsticks on a delta flight to asia?

[dracoyan]

Just booked a flight 2days in advance to departure due to my fractured leg and the reality that flying back home will be a lot better even considering I have a decent insurance in us. Main was 1200ish and premium select was 1600, no brainer for that extra bit of leg room.

[ishymind]

Nice i picked the same seat, also i got their prem select seat upgrade for only $325 SEA-ICN ❤ cant wait to fly delta

Great review I think I'll be flying BOS to CDG in that seat! So how was the noise from the galley and after take off can you put a very small backpack on the floor in front of you? I've looked at some other replies to questions I had so that's the only two I have. And the food looked okay, I've just returned from BOS-CDG RT in BC on the A350 and the food wasn't any good TBH. The cheese and wine were good my mains were dry so I'd eat in the lounge.

[mjhart]

That's for this I'm.flying from MCO to LHR in this exact seat..looking forward to ir

[brian]

Awesome👍Flight review here, nicely presented and very well explained too., i'd be tempted to try premium on any airline re long haul travel but usually just settle for economy on the shorter flight routes!.✈

[M.Kay]

Great video all around. Thanks for the review

[KennyInSubic]

I will find out for myself next week on the DTW flight.

[ryanm.]

For the actual seat cushion itself, is there any benefit flying PS over C+ or MC? Thanks for the video, it’s helpful!

[Cherryblossom]

Did you have enough space to get up from your bulkhead seat without disturbing the person next to you? I’m considering your same seat, but I’m someone who needs to get up during flights.

[RFS-et]

You know, I think the front seats in the classes are the best because you have the most legroom there. But don’t you get reassigned to somewhere else if someone with a wheelchair needs somewhere to sit?

[Akaysihaphom]

They have actually just upgraded the premium select service. You should give it another try
