Not to be cynical, but she's seated in First Class. In my experience, there is usually one flight attendant for first class and one or more other ones for coach. On that plane may only be 15 first class passengers that need to be taken care of by that flight attendant.
I would like to think that this would have happened in coach too, but those flight attendants are a lot more busy.
Still, very nicely done to that flight attendant. Delta, give that flight attendant a raise!
edit to add: My goodness the disbelief in these being first class makes me think you haven't flown on commercial airplanes very much. Here's a map of that type of jet (which @[email protected] correctly pointed out is a CRJ-900. A small regional jet Delta flies. The flight attendant is sitting on the floor in aisle 4. Here's a seat map showing all TWELVE of the First Class seats on this plane
That's a pretty cheap looking first class. It doesn't even have in flight entertainment!
Probably a small regional plane. Embraer E-175 maybe? Those flights are usually an hour or so.
Looks like Delta's Bombardier CRJ 900 to me, no?
Yes, this is indeed a CRJ-900 operated by Endeavor Air (9E) as shown on the safety information card in the seat pocket.
I've had nicer Economy seats before. I find it hard to believe that's anything close to First Class.
Idk what the other comments are saying this is very clearly first class on a Delta flight
Outside of America, first class isn’t a relative term, but a fairly absolute one. If a flight doesn’t have very luxurious seats, it might not have a first class at all, and will instead have business class. If it lacks even the degree of luxury necessary to call its seats business class, it might only have premium economy, which is a term for seats which are entirely normal seats, but with slightly more legroom. You’d never get first class that is remotely possible to confuse for premium economy, because first class means something specific, it’s not relative to what else that particular plane is fitted for.
I would really love if USA air carriers were that consistent. Even between brands here in the States they have different names for the same level of seat and amenities. I've mostly got it figured out for Delta and United, but occasionally I'll have to book a long haul flight on American Airlines and have to look up their seat classes before booking to make sure I get what I want.
It's like women's clothing sizes!
(And men's, albeit to a lesser degree.)
Ha! That's a fantastic analogy! "Vanity Sizing" for airline seats.
Yep, this!
Delta CEO: "I heard, 'Take all the credit and slash benefits.'"
I have, but inter city first class in Australia doesn't look like that, even for domestic flights! The only time I've seen first class look anything like that was a prop commuter plane, flying to a country town.
Wouldn't the flighr attentant be required to be strapped down during take off and landing though?
Those seats are way too small compared to first class seats. That looks like economy class to me.
That's domestic first class. Maybe on a smaller plane like an e175, but it's first.
Literally 2 hours before your "edit to add", an explanation was already provided. From the diagram, this might actually be business class, and my earlier claim that it would be "premium economy at best" was perhaps overstated. But still, this would never be "first class" on domestic flights here in Australia, or on any of the very many international flights I've been on during my time growing up as an expat.
2 hours after that explanation I was still receiving NEW posts claiming it wasn't First Class. People weren't reading the later posts and, like you, claiming it wasn't first class anyway. So one edit with a picture addressed both things.
I don't get to decide what to call it. Its not my airline. Delta calls it first class.
I'm glad to learn something about my friends in Australia. However, this is an airline in the USA and this is what they call it.
Nor any international flights I've been on, but as I said in a later post, this is a regional jet. In the states smaller regional jets like CRJ and Embraer move passengers from smaller cities to larger hubs for cross country flights or international.
Sure, no problem with the fact that you felt the need to make an edit clarifying. The content of the edit was mostly very good. It's interesting to learn!
I just take issue with the notion that you knowingly prefixed the edit with "makes me think you haven’t flown on commercial airplanes very much".
Point taken. I was frustrated by having to reply so many time to the already answered point.
What about that looks like first class to you? Based on the size of the seats, I’d say that at best we’re looking at premium economy.
US domestic ‘first class’ is pretty comically named. It is technically the best class available but it’s pretty similar to premium economy on an international flight.
There are a few airlines / routes that do better but the majority are not what you might expect for ‘first class’.
Makes me wonder if I ever get to see what one should expect from the fabled 'first class' with my own eyes, if not travel in it. Really, I saw some that are better than those in the picture but not that much 😢
