I flew round-trip from NYC to Phoenix on Delta. It was my first time on the airline in years.

I thought the coach seats were more comfortable than some cars and a flight delay barely affected me.

Both flights surprised and impressed me. I think Delta is the best airline for economy travelers.
I recently flew round-trip from NYC to Phoenix on Delta. It was my first time using the airline in years.
I usually choose the cheapest flight with a preference for JetBlue since it has a hub at my local airport, John F. Kennedy (JFK). But this time, Delta was the more affordable option.
I paid $283 for my round-trip tickets between NYC and Phoenix in January, and it was one of the cheapest flights available when I booked three weeks before my trip. According to Kayak, this is average pricing.

Delta flies to over 300 locations around the world in more than 50 countries, according to their website.

On my first Delta flight to Phoenix, I was surprised to have such a great experience in coach.
On the way back to New York, I hoped the airline would live up to my first flight. It did — both flights left me feeling more relaxed than I normally do traveling in economy.
I didn’t check bags but noticed touchless bag tag printing for easy service. I’ve seen similar kiosks for JetBlue.
