Ever since travel began picking back up and travelers started returning to the skies, Delta Air Lines has blocked the middle seat option on all flights, and limited the number of passengers per flight. Delta Air Lines announced it will continue blocking the middle seat and limiting travelers through at least Jan. 6, 2021. Delta is hoping this extension will make individuals, groups and families more comfortable flying over the holidays.
“Medical experts, including our own partners at Emory Healthcare, agree — more distance on board makes a difference,” said Bill Lentsch, chief customer Experience officer, Delta Air Lines. “We believe that taking care of our customers and employees and restoring confidence in the safety of air travel is more important right now than filling up every seat on a plane. We’ll continue taking a thoughtful, layered approach ensuring customers know to expect the highest standard of care as they prepare for their holiday travels.”
For customers booking Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and main cabin seats, the middle seat will be blocked for safety for parties of one–two passengers. For parties of three or more, middle seats will be available for selection, allowing families and travel companions to sit together.
Even with the extension of blocking the middle seat, passengers are still required to wear masks throughout the duration of their flight and in each airport. For more information on the changes visit Delta’s News Hub.
