Delta’s BusinessElite gets Westin ‘Heavenly Beds’
Passengers flying on Delta Air Lines in BusinessElite class will soon get their own Westin ‘Heavenly Bed’ in-flight.
The airline has announced that the new Westin Heavenly In-Flight bedding product will be available on all BusinessElite International flights, as well as BusinessElite flights between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle and between Atlanta and Honolulu, beginning in June 2013.
BusinessElite customers will receive a Westin Heavenly sleeping pillow and a comforter. Passengers on flights over 12 hours also will also get a lumbar pillow.
In addition to the new Westin Heavenly In-Flight bedding, Delta is making investments in other products and services to revamp the in-flight sleep experience. These include a white noise channel on Delta Radio, and new BusinessElite amenity kits featuring Tumi and Malin+Goetz products.
Delta says it is also enhancing the sleep experience by expanding full flat-bed seating, introducing full flat-bed seats in the BusinessElite cabin of all transcontinental flights operating between New York and Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle beginning in March 2013.
All of Delta’s Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft serving these transcontinental markets will offer the flatbed seats over the next 24 months. The airline says its decision to install full flat-bed seats on its transcontinental flights complements a current investment in full flat-bed seats on its entire international widebody fleet of over 140 aircraft. By the end of 2013, 70% of all Delta aircraft will have flat beds and, in early 2014, Delta’s entire widebody fleet is scheduled to be completed.
Express meals and ambient lighting are also part of the airline’s new focus on productive sleep in business class.
